Butting Out of Trouble

The pigs were in the yard Stirring up some trouble; Along came the goat And climbed into the middle. The pigs being much offended Told goat to butt out his nose; Cow came along And a nasty fight arose. Not wanting to be left out The chickens got involved; The horse hearing the commotion Thought that all should be resolved. Looking at the clucking chickens He began to gently scold; "You're a might too small For one trying to be so bold." The cow he gave a kick And sent him mooing on his way. "It's time you stay out of this Go home and eat your hay." To the goat he firmly said, "You should butt out of trouble When the pigs are in the yard Do not get into the middle." He who follows this advice Will keep a happy face; Don't let getting in the middle Cause your countenance disgrace.
