They say there's now't as queer as folk,
Scratch below the surface
And see what's revealed.
It's said that a pet is a reflection
Of the its owner,
Though I'll say nay lad
Not if they've a pig in a field.
Cat owners should be strung up
But it's keepers of dogs
That need a good slap,
Who on earth would be dragged
By a mutt on a lead
Then have to pick up their crap.
Iguanas, tarantula, chinchillas
And even rats and piranhas
Have all in a way appealed.,
But, the person who wins my vote
Is the young lady in East Yorkshire
Who owns a pig in a field.
