[Pete Williams]

Greetings  Surplussers---

 

To assist us older members to live an appropriate disgraceful existence now
2008 is   upon us .,

The following is offered with no  apologies  and the fervent hope that  the
wells don't  dry up.

 

A fitting  reminder  for your New Years resolution ..Happy New Year to all

                                          THE PRESERVATION OF THE AUSSIE MAN


 

                                              The horse and mule live 30
years

And nothing know of wine or beers.

The goat and sheep at 20 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 threescore years and ten.

And some of us, the mighty few,

Stay pickled till we're 92.
