IT WAS A YEAR AGO, SEPTEMBER
Anon

It was a year ago, September
a day I well remember
I was walking up and down
in drunken pride
when my knees began to flutter
and I fell down in the gutter
and a pig came by and lay down by my side

As I lay there in the gutter
thinking thoughts I could not utter
I thought I heard a passing lady say,
"You can tell a man who boozes
by the company he chooses,"
And with that, the pig got up and walked away

There are many versions of the above on the internet. Some have additional verses with other animals in turn lying down beside the drunk.
