Hes a sexist one, ignorant one or dirty one
\nAs he “admire” women on calendars as beer he swigs…
\nAh yes, the eternal insult
\nThat us menfolk are but pigs!
\nYet some scientists have speculated before
\nThat both species may be in common than we know
\nThat may be why the Abrahamic tradition of prohibition
\nOn eating pork from long long ago…<\/p>\n

\"Blocks
Blocks of conserved synteny between pig and human. (a) Pig SSC7 to human chromosomes 6, 14 and 15. (b) HSA13 compared to pig chromosome 11. Block inversions between pig and human are denoted with broken lines. Contig coverage is depicted by bars in the center of SSC7 and HSA13.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sure they dont follow the football
\nBut they have humanlike lashes on their eyes
\nTheir valves and other bits are like our own
\nScience is but now learning to realise
\nTheir skin like ours is hairless
\nUnderneath both have subcutaneous fat
\nLight coloured eyes and portruding noses…
\nHave a good ponder on that…<\/p>\n

One chap by the name of McCarthy pondered
\nDid a monkey and wild boar do the deed
\nIs that where we get the modern pig
\nI once, traumatised, did read<\/a><\/strong>…
\nIf that is why we are banned to eat them
\nAccording to the Muslims and the Jews
\nDoes that mean that I unwitting am a cannibal
\nIf to eat my rashers I choose?<\/p>\n

For these monkey loving swine are so tasty
\nI dont care if a cannibal I am
\nId hate to die of the hunger
\nWith mice eating the rashers from the pan!!!<\/p>\n
