Notes About The Poem

Is Percy Trying To Pull the Wool Over Our Eyes

Percy pig was feeling quite shaken -
He'd heard pigs were slaughtered for bacon
Turning white as a sheet
He then started to bleat
As a sheep could he be mistaken!

Ha-ha, love that you made poem of the day. I faved the limerick after understanding the message. A pig is just a pig, no matter its clothing and silver forked tongue. Did you know pigs make the cutest sounds when spreading mud all over its exposed nakedness. I kind of think pigs are ugly. I never liked them, unless it was on my dinner plate. LoL shh! Don't tell my sis I said that, she's an ex-semi-vegetarian. I also faved a poem yesterday about exposed bones. BY a Christine. Look it up.
