Benny Says Goodbye... His Way

[pig in the city]

Benny penned this ditty in his last few days and wants me to share it with you all (apologies to Frank Sinatra)

'And now my end is near
And so I face the rainbow pass
My friends,I'll say it clear
I'll state my case for extra GRASS

I've lived a life that's full,
I've lived for food every single day,
And more, much more than this,
I did it MY WAY

Regrets, I've had a few (not enough GRASS)
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do (ate lots of GRASS)
And saw it through without exception.

I planned each and every meal,
Each hungry step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it MY WAY

For what is a pig, what has he got
If not his GRASS, then he has not
To say the things he truly feels (more GRASS!)
And never to miss any meals
The record show I took the blows
AND DID IT MY WAY!'

Thank you and good night...Benny x

Good night my sweet grumpy boy x

It is almost as if Benny had a one track mind - GRASS. He was so handsome and had such style.
