A Wee Verse

[yeboah]

As my Dad lived till 92 thought this verse was appropriate.

 

THE PRESERVATION OF MAN

 

THE HORSE AND MULE LIVE THIRTY YEARS

AND NOTHING KNOWN OF WINE AND BEERS

THE GOAT AND SHEEP AT TWENTY DIE

WITH NEVER A TASTE OF SCOTCH AND RYE

THE COW DRINKS WATER BY THE TON

AND AT 18 IS MOSTLY DONE

THE DOG AT 16 CASHES IN

WITHOUT THE AID OF RUM AND GIN

THE CAT IN MILK AND WATER SOAKS

AND THEN IN TWELVE SHORT YEARS IT CROAKS

THE MODEST SOBER BONE DRY HEN

LAYS EGGS FOR NOGS,THEN DIES AT 10

ALL ANIMALS ARE STRICTLY DRY

THEY SINLESS LIVE AND SWIFTLY DIE

BUT SINFUL,GINFUL,RUM SOAKED MEN

SURVIVE FOR TEN SCORE YEARS IN TEN

AND SOME OF US THE MIGHTY FEW

STAY PICKLED TILL WE'RE 92
