Piggy Bank


   My piggy bank gets fed,
   At least once a week.
   I do what my Momma said.

   I push the coins in the top of his head.
   
   Momma said, " You should feed your piggy every day!
                          So, you won't have to work and can play!"

   I think she doesn't see,
   What candy means to me!
   No fat piggy for me.

   Just a few coins to put away.
   So, when I get old,
   I can play all day!

LOL! The feel of an interaction between a child and parent. The mom presents the best way, the child wants candy (don’t they?!) The “no fat piggy,” is hysterical because it represents what could be a huge savings but also what one becomes with too much candy. Great first two lines! The child doesn’t realize, yet, what it takes to become a productive adult. A fave!
