The horse and mule live 30 years ... ... And never knows of wines and beers. The goat and sheep at 20 die Without a taste of scotch or rye. The cow drinks water by the ton And at 18 is mostly done. The dog at 15 cashes in Without the aid of rum or gin. The modest, sober, bone-dry hen Lays eggs for noggs and dies at 10. But sinful, ginful, rum-soaked men Survive three-score years and 10. And some of us...though mighty few Stay pickled 'til we're 92.

A true Yorkshire story: One of our local doctors has recently retired after many years' service in the Yorkshire Dales, From his many anecdotes I particularly like the occasion when a farmer came to his surgery carrying a piglet under his greatcoat, asking for medical advice on the piglet's ailments. You see, the doctor's service was free but the vet would have to be paid for!
