A Man Who Boozes

An Irish Poem of Unknown Origin

__________________________________

It was a year ago, September

a day I well remember

I was walking up and down

in drunken pride

when my knees began to flutter

and I fell down in the gutter

and a pig came by and lay down by my side

____________

As I lay there in the gutter

thinking thoughts I could not utter

I thought I heard a passing lady say,

"You can tell a man who boozes

by the company he chooses..."

And with that, the pig got up and walked away

And what did they find? You guessed it: a pig following the sober man.

Was the pig drunk?

LOL

That was a security pig. He was making sure the man got home safe.

"...you can a man who boozes, by the company he chooses, and the little pig got up and walked away..."

When police arrested the pig, it exclaimed:
“Soooooooeeeyy!!! Another man done gone”

“You’d have thought we would have learned our lesson after the kangaroo incident.”

A kangaroo and a pig walked into a bar......

I sent this to a couple of pig hunters and told them to go a friendly bar instead of the woods to get their pigs.
