Just for the fun of it.
There are many pig-type stories,
Mostly told in piggy fables.
Most are cheerful little characters,
With "Happy Endings" in their labels.
Let's start with 'Porky Pig' cartoon,
S-s-s-stammering pig of Looney-Tune fame.
It's here I'll mention other pigs,
Because all pigs are not the same.
Think -"Miss Piggy" -DIVA.
She of the Muppet kind.
And -'Piglet' in a "Pooh-book."
That's a well-known story line.
"Little Piggy Went to Market.'
A rhyme naming toes of a kid.
"Wilbur" pig in "Charlotte's Web."
And what a spidery message did.
Do not forget the "Three Little Pigs"
All rejected the wolf as their guest.
Or "Babe" -a cute little piglet
That passed a sheep-herding test.
But today folks seek reality,
How they LOVE carnage in a story
So forget the happy pigs I've named
Because my piggy story's -GORY.
"Little Piggy" was a barnyard darling,
Oh he had no one to fear.
For everybody loved him.
He was -"Little Piggy, dear."
But "Little Piggy" had a habit,
He loved cigars -HOW he loved to smoke!
Though cigars did not agree with him,
He'd smoke away -then snort and choke.
Farmer to Piggy: "Smoking's bad."
He warned that pig each day.
"It'll be the death of you!"
But the pig just smoked away.
A stranger told the farmer,
"I'll stop piggy's urge to smoke."
He said, "It's just an intervention."
Yep! He pawned a piggy-in-a-poke
Said the stranger to the piggy,
"I have a 'Smoking Club for Swine'"
Little Piggy never guessed his fate,
NO! It never crossed his mind.
No, don't expect a happy tale,
There is no happy here to tell.
It's about a man, who met a pig,
And made the porker's life a hell.
You've met the stranger and the pig,
Let's insert herewith -the pit.
And what that dude did after-
He got the damned pit lit.
Oh, poor "Little Piggy" victimized,
He never got to market.
For the guy who had a piggy pit,
Made this piggy pig his target.
O' see that hot-box in the dirt.
Pit of stone with an iron grate.
That stranger how he loved his pit,
And serving piggy on a plate.
"Little Piggy" wound up in that pit
Where the guy threw him to smoke.
Pit smoke is very B-b-b-b-bad for pigs,
And that's no freakin' joke.
For those who'd say of this piggy tale,
That "smoking doesn't matter,"
You've never been the 'entre' served
Naked! In the middle of a platter.
This "Little Piggy's" now pulled pork,
He's the brunt of Porky Pig's joke.
"That s-s-s-stupid pig - just s-s-s-smoked away.
t-t-t-That's All Folks!" (Pig quote).
