Kiss a Pig!

Kiss a pig, hug a swine
Some of them are good friends of mine!
(I'm especially prone to those Poland China Porkers.)
More fun than a dog and smarter than a horse
And you might find them a little coarse
But shoot, they ain't near as rude as some of them New Yorkers.

Lyrics by Ray Stevens, 1985

It was state authority that inspired Mr Stevens's conversion to porcine amity; upon reporting a stray hog to a highway patrolman, it was suggested he take the errant beast to a zoo. Mr Stevens did so, and notes, "We had so much fun, I'm gonna take him to a baseball game!"
