When corn rigs are bonny,
Beneath the Moon's unclouded light,
I held awhile to Annie...

To see me through the barley...
Corn rigs and barley rigs,
Corn rigs are bonny!
I'll not forget that happy night
Among the rigs with Annie! — Robert Burns

But it is only those who get drunk on beer that fall on their backs with their faces upward. — Aristotle
