“The horse and mule live thirty years And never know of wine and beers. The goat and sheep at twenty die Without a taste of scotch or rye. The cow drinks water by the ton And at eighteen is mostly done. The dog at fifteen cashes in Without the aid of rum or gin. The modest, sober, bone-dry hen Lays eggs for noggs and dies at ten. But sinful, ginful, rum-soaked men Survive three-score years and ten. And some of us, though mighty few Stay pickled 'til we're ninety-two.” KnowsMenYearsTwoDoneDiesThreeWaterDogDrinkTasteTenHorseTwentiesWineLaysBonesAlcoholAidsBeerThirtyDryScoreEggsCashCowsSheepFifteenModestSoberNinetyEighteenThirty YearsGoatsGinScotchHensDrink WaterMulesRum Author:Charles Gavan Duffy
