*I am a Colonial and have heard the English say

• "Colonials have no manners," your advice then lend me pray
• One day my pathway led me into a lonely wood
• T'was far away but fine the day and good
• And yet your English climate is full of whims and so
• Down poured the rain and I must into shelter go
• I meet another student in the same plight as I
• The nearest refuge that we find is but an old pigsty
• A placid Sow lies sleeping upon the scattered straw
• We enter, and take shelter within the open door
• She shares with us her little pen, hospitable and kind
• For full an hour while lasts the shower
• We warmth and shelter find
• Once more into that wood I wend my lonely way
• Once more comes on a heavy shower from the sty I'm far away
• But today I need not flee my umbrella is with me
• Now while I shelter thus enjoy I hear a grunt close by
• Good Mrs. Sow is waddling past the owner of the sty
• The rain is pouring down her back and dropping from her ears
  *And rolling down her fatted cheeks like showers of briny tears
• And this is now my question answear Englishman whilt thow?
• "Should I share my umbrella with that fat and soaking sow?"
