Come friendly vets and fall on Cork
For God's sake divn't eat the pork
Dem be-asts have got a pisin in
Dey got from atin' di-ox-in
Not dangerous (!) but "to be sure"
(De rasher's ill's worse than its cure)
Be sure t'heave de whole lot out
'Tis nutt'n te get scared about
Dere may be pork fa-mine dis year
But beef's not short so have no fear
Be tankful for the good ould spud
Grown not in "black butter" but mud
Dis Christmas let the pig lie fallow
And orther takeaway from Mallow
(By my abacus that would be 10 weeks in Kilkenny)
