You guys are great! Wonderful stuff! I'm going to have a hard time not humming "Upton's Pig" all day today!

And the rhymes are awesome! Civet/livid! LOL!

Okay, here's the best I could come up with this morning:

Wellington Sheep Farm
(tune: Wolverton Mountain)

They said don't go to Wellington Sheep Farm
Cos it's infected with hoof-and-mouth
You'll track it back all over your gumboots
Back to your hog farm, a few miles south

Her tender pig (her tender pig) brings lots of money
But Rosemary's gumboots infected his hay
The Government inspec-tor came to see him
And said that Grunty must die this day

But Grunty's not an ordinary piggy
He's an actor and a millionaire
So Rosemary took the case to the law-court
And hoped to save her Grunty there

Her tender pig (her tender pig) brings lots of money
But Rosemary's gumboots infected his hay
The Governmental judge will try his court case
And say if Grunty must die this day

Now she's back home at Wellington Sheep Farm
And her piggy is safe and sound
They couldn't let him face the death squad
When he's worth ten million pounds

Her tender pig (her tender pig) brings lots of money
And though her gumboots had touched his hay
The Governmental tax-man has more clout than
The hog inspector, any old day.
