>     When he finishes them,

>     So I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers
>
>     And one for myself."
>     The bartender admits that this is a nice custom,
>
>     And leaves it there.
>     The drover becomes a regular in the bar,
>
>     And always drinks the same way.
>
>     He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.
>     One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs.
>
>     All the regulars take notice and fall silent.

>     When he comes back to the bar for the second round,
>
>     The bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief,
>
>     But I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss."
>     The drover looks quite puzzled for a moment,
>
>     Then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs.
>     "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains,
>
>     "It's just that my wife and I joined the Salvation Army
>
>     And I had to quit drinking."
>     "Hasn't affected my brothers though."
