In a Playground of Mud

In a playground of mud One time I made friends with a pig He had the most wonderful gig In a playground of mud My new friend went thud I’ll tell you, that sucker was big Then one day it seemed he was shaken I realized that he was mistaken I said, have no fear I’d rather have beer And really don’t care much for bacon He went back to playing again Then got on his knees in his pen He looked to the sky And let out a sigh I swear that pig grunted “amen” 8/31/18 For the: Any Animal or Creature Limerick Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Charles Messina

You have an imagination as playful as my own, and when it met your wit and creativity, we were gifted with the entertainment in your poem. I love off the wall and irrelevant, too. 2nd Stanza - 1st line - 'he seemed' or 'it seemed?' I just now realized this is for a contest, one you won't find me in, I am limerick-challenged! All the best ... CayCay
