Celtaddict-

Evidently you are the only one interested in the lyrics of "The Lady Who Loved a Swine" but that is sufficient:

There was a lady who loved a swine,
"Honey!" said she,
"Pig hog wilt thou be mine?"
"Grunt," said he.

"I'll build thee a silvery sty,
Honey!" said she,
"And in it thou shall lie."
"Grunt," said he.

"I'll pin it with a silver pin,
Honey!" said she,
"That thou mayest walk out or in."
"Grunt," said he.

"Wilt thou have me now," said she,
Honey?" said she;
"Speak! Or my heart will break for thee."
"Grunt," said he.

My uncle was quite skilled at his grunting, and we as children were quite impressed.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
