Thought you might enjoy this ode.

The horse and mule live 30 years, and nothing know of wines or beers,
The goat and sheep at 20 die, with n’er a taste of scotch or rye,
The cow drinks water by the ton, and at 18’s mostly done,
The dog at 16 cashes in, without the aid of rum or gin,
The cat in milk and water soaks, and then in 12 short years it croaks,
The modest sober bone dry hen, lays eggs for noggs then dies at 10,
All animals are strictly dry, they sinless live and swiftly die,
But sinful ginful rum-soaked men, survive for 3 score years and 10,
And some of us, the mighty few, stay pickled ‘till we’re 92.…

You can have me eyes.
And have me heart.
When I've gone into the dither.

There is no need
To cut in greed
Cause I've used up all me liver.

Skol to you as well OM #http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif
