Pigs

Porky Pig was pale and thin
He was mostly bone and skin
Pigs are usually quite fat
Porky pig was far from that

He refused to eat pig swill
It made this pig feel weak and ill
Other pigs viewed him with scorn
He looked more like a sheep that was shorn

This pig had been wrongly named
Porky put other pigs to shame
For porky means one is fat
Porky pig was far from that
