A song The following is a quote One evening in October, when I was one third sober, and carrying home a load with manly pride. My poor feet began to stutter, as I lay down in the gutter, and a pig came up and lay down by my side. Then we sang 'Its all fair weather, when good fellows get together' when a lady passing by was heard to say 'You can tell a man who boozes by the company he chooses.' and the pig got up and slowly walked away. (Benjamin Hopgood Burt - The Pig Got Up and Slowly Walked Away" - a 1933 song - websites upbeat.co.uk and sterlingtimes.org) I may, just possibly, have given you this one previously.
I only wish that I knew the rest of the song. I think that the first verse (written in a great, a really great, year - the same year Hitler came to power and prohibition in the U.S.A. ended) is a crackin good verse, written with a british vein about it. Nearly as good as Albert, who was eaten by the Lion at Blackpool Zoo.
It really isn't at all. Albert the Lion was a 'poem' or recitation about a family who visited a Zoo in Blackpool, which is a seaside resort in Lancashire, U.K. He was eaten by a Lion and subsequently expelled again. It is absolutely great, I think, but maybe it sounds very different in Thaiand (or Malayasia?) (or wast it the Phillipenes?)
The Philippines...it used to be a spanish colony, then an american colony so many people speak spanish and english there...i guess...
My scope of stories is very limited (I was going to say repertoire, but I can't remember how to spell that). I once saw what I thought was a bundle of clothes in a pile of leaves one autumn in a side road. I looked at it more closely and it still looked like a bundle of clothes, till they got up and slowly walked away. They were (It was) a dog.
