How well do I remember
It was the last of last December.
When my mind began to flutter:
—I fell into the gutter!
And a hog came and lay down by my side.
While we lay there, in a puddle,
My mind began to muddle;
A lady passing by was heard to say,
“You can tell a man who boozes
By the company he chooses!”
—And the HOG got up and walked away!
