Huff and Puff

Remember the story of the big bad wolf
Who harassed those three little pigs?
Their houses made of brick and straw
And the other one made from twigs

Well, let me set the story straight
For, I'm the only one who knows
It's the story of The Three Little Pigs
This is how it really goes

You see, that wolf was hungry,
For he hadn't eaten in days
He was looking for some bacon
And wasn't gonna change his ways

Did you know that wolf had asthma?
He could barely even breathe
He huffed and puffed his cigarettes
That was rolled up in his sleeve

He came upon this house of straw
And he took a great big breath
As he held it in, his face turned blue
And nearly coughed himself to death

But he didn't let that stop him
He give it one more try
But again, he started coughing
Til he thought he'd surely die

The three little pigs felt sorry for him
So they offered him something to eat
The wolf ate all their vegetables
But still, he was craving meat

The three little pigs were at wit's end
And thought, "What are we gonna do?"
So, they made that wolf a five pound ham
(He didn't know he was eatin' tofu)

Today, he's a vegetarian
And the pigs call him a friend
Now, you know the rest of the story
So I guess, I'll say, "The End"
