A Tattoo is Born

Something fell out of my head,
a notion perhaps,
I think I have birthed a tattoo
a tat of a Beef Prime Rib.
I like beef not ham.

A slim lady
had a small butterfly
tattooed onto her thigh
years went by,
she ballooned out,
her flimsy butterfly
now looks more like a Pterodactyl.

My tattoo is now fully formed -
clearly, it's a depiction
of a ham bone!

If that tattoo grows any bigger
it's going to resemble
a hog on a log.
