The Pig And I – Poem by John Leroy Maxwell

How well do I remember, it was just this past December,

I was walking down the street in manly pride

When my heart began to flutter, and I fell into the gutter,

and a pig came up and lay down by my side

a lady passing by began to say

‘You can tell a man who boozes, by the company he chooses’

And the pig got up, and slowly walked away

attributed to John Leroy Maxwell but could not find a bio on him, and my grandfather told me this over 50 years ago.

There is something to said for a career as a drunkard. Yes, the pay is poor. But you work flexible hours and you are your own boss.

I thought the joke would be, the King says how do youfeel about me, and the Duke just is silent.
