The pig got up....




   Isn`t Google wonderful?  I was thinking of the poem, which everyone knows, which ends, ` And the pig got up and slowly walked away.`  In fact, I had forgotten most of the words, so I typed `the pig got up` and Google posted six or eight versions, including a thirties musical version. There were several different sets of words, but the one I liked best was this.


  It was one night in late October
  When I was far from sober
  Returning with my load with manly pride.
  My poor feet began to stutter, so I lay down in the gutter
  And a pig came near and lay down by my side.
  Then we sang `It`s all fair weather, when good fellows get together,`
  Till a lady passing by was heard to say
  ` You can tell someone who boozes by the company he chooses`
 But then the pig got up and slowly walked away...


   A real classic, as I`m sure you`ll agree!
