The Preservation of Man
The horse and mule live thirty years,
And nothing know of wines and beers.
The goat and sheep at twenty die
With never a taste of scotch or rye.
The cow drinks water by the ton
And at 18 is 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 nogs, then dies at 10.
All animals are strictly dry
They sinless live and swiftly die.
But sinful, ginful, rum-soaked men
Survive for three score years and ten
And some of us, the mighty few,
Stay pickled till we’re 92.
This came with compliments of Waltzing Matilda Inn in Dowloon in the early 60’s.

Well, more “English major” maybe.
My parents were teachers and they would have loved that!

The ones I hid under as a kid were REALLY old school. Still had ink wells in them and partly made of cast iron

That made you even safer. We also lined up in the halls with our face to the walls. It was a welcome break from class.
