If a pig drinks buttermilk before he starts
And runs a mile before he farts
The faster he runs the farther he gets
How far can he run before he shits?
Now, in order for me to win this bet
We go back to the place where the fart was let
A farmer on the road saw the pig run past
With buttermilk squirting out of his ass
It tickled the farmer and he had to laugh
As he watched the pig run a mile and a half
It seems to me if he keeps his wits
He can run five miles before he shits.
