4 JUST FOR FUN It was early last December, As near as I remember, I was walking down the street in tipsy pride; No one was I disturbing As I lay down by the curbing, And a pig came up and lay down by my side. As I lay there in the gutter Thinking thoughts I shall not utter, A lady passing by was heard to say: 'You can tell a man who boozes By the company he chooses'; And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

Well done, good and faithful servant." From: Tombstone Humour, Compiled by Richard De'Ath A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.
