Nr Hams For Lambs

(Can you guess which Sheep/lamb nursery rhymes
I’ve parodied with these three piggy rhymes?)

1. Oink oink, white pig, have you any pork?
No WAY, Mister! Drop your fork!
You think you’re takin’ bacon? In a pig’s eye!
You’ll have to drag me kicking from my pig’s sty!

2. Sullivan Slime has sold his swine
To a butcher man named Kevin.
They’re gone from his home, no more to roam.
Let's hope they're in hog heaven!

3. Hilda had a big fat hog, big fat hog, big fat hog.
Hilda had a big fat hog; its snout was cute and pink.
And everywhere it went with her, went with her, went with her,
And everywhere it went with her, it made an awful stink.

To hide its smell, she used her car, used her car, used her car.
To hide its smell, she used her car to take it near and far.
And since on freeways it was hauled, it was hauled, it was hauled,
And since on freeways it was hauled, a “road hog” it was called.

Hello my dear friend! I'm so glad stopping by here after my long nap this afternoon ;) and read your fantastic and excellent rhymes. I think I can guess them: 1 is Baa Baa Black 2, Little Boo Beep 3. Mary Had a L.L. am I right? ;)) Now I'm singing the last part and I enjoyed your poems so much. The awful stink and how to hide the smell makes me smile;)). So love it! Thanks for sharing! Good luck and best wishes always! love lots, Leonora
