"Prolific breeders" ALL! 


	        Twas a morning in December,
                    As I very well remember.
            I was strolling down the street in drunken
pride,
                  But my knees were all aflutter,
                    So I landed in the gutter,
              And a pig came up a lay down by my side.
                   Yes, I lay there in the gutter
                Thinking thoughts I could not utter,
              When a colleen passing by did softly say,
                 "You can tell a man that boozes 
                  By the company he chooses."
               At that the pig got up and walked away!
                      --"The Irish Pig"
