He Danced Irish Jigs

There was a quick wit who needed a gig
When his jokes fell flat, he danced Irish jigs
   But one night he was so drunk
   He kicked up a breeze that stunk
It seems 'quick-wit' zagged when he should have zigged

Ah, too much of the drink, has caused many a wit to go zaggy.

The quick wit who’s jig went sadly amiss, Put on a kilt to do an Irish jig, He kicked up his legs, Forgot he’d no kegs, With his jiggery bits, the crowd were in fits.
