An Ode to a Quest for the Black Pig Dike

• In the legends of Ireland, one with great might
• Is a fierce pig with a powerful bite.
•  
• Black was his color, as black as his heart
• He burrowed and burrowed right from the start.
•  
• For 800 kilometers he moved the earth
• Creating a dyke of great worth.
•  
• The dyke protected lands and was used by man
• This inspired a modern fellow named Dan.
•  
• He was drawn to Ireland — he'd fly and drive
• To find this dyke he would strive and strive.
•  
• No directions in his tour guide were to be found
• So he sought assistance from all locals around.
•  
• Shocked was Dan that few knew of this pig's dig
• When he finally got some assistance Dan danced a jig.
•  
• He was sent to the old church to see Father Kelly
• But he was ill; something in his belly.
•  
• Father Brian tried to help in his place
• But too much Guinness gave him a red face.
•  
• He remembered the Pig or something like that
• But he couldn't remember what he was talking about.
•  
• Dan left Father Brian his hat in hand
• He almost gave up his quest in this land.
•  
• Till Mel the bartender in Dowra town
• Knew the dyke was near and could be found.
•  
• Mel sent Dan to a storekeeper's stand
• Where Dan learned the dyke crossed his land.
•  
• Quickly Dan ran to this magical spot
• His wife Sharon didn't think it so hot.
•  
• Dan danced and pranced in joy of his find
• The local school girls thought he'd lost his mind.
•  
• Dan did not care that he looked a fright
• This discovery would end up on his pig web site.
