PINKY PIG'S STORY
Pinky was proudly a much loved pet
And true friend,
She lived with Mr. Smith
the reputed local vet,
Mr. Smith kept a close eye
On Pinky pig,
She was a little clumsy and
Somewhat big.
Wherever they went, they
Created a stir,
Everyone knew Pinky and
Truly loved her.
Her treat was to trot to
The village town,
But to get there was steep and
She often loved to roll down.
And always landed at the bottom
Of this road down the hill,
This was part of the ritual,
She loved the thrill
And the spill,
And always had a lot of fun.
One day a filthy truck passed
By, weighing well over a ton,
And all Pinky heard were oinks
And squeals,
As mud flew off this
Dirty truck’s wheels.
Out of the corner of her
Sharp brown eye,
She recognized someone
On the truck passing by,
With a sensitive, pink and
Inquisitive snout,
She immediately spied and
Smelt her kind out.
The truck was travelling at
A low speed,
But its driver had in mind a
Real dirty deed.
The pigs that were travelling
In this truck,
Were squashed side by side
In their own muck,
This brought the absolute pig
Out in her,
As she trotted, crying, which
Made her eyes blur.
She shouted to the pigs in
This horrible truck,
They were her cousins,
Who were been taken
In dozens,
To become bacon at a
Butchers store,
But their blood would first
Flood the abattoir’s floor!
Mr. Smith had heard
This commotion and ran,
Towards Pinky's squeals and
Quickly covered the span,
As fast as he could,
For he quickly understood,
What Pinky was trying to do
And say,
He bellowed as he ran
All the way.
Meanwhile the villagers began
Lining the street,
And aggressively stopped
The truck from its beat,
They pulled the driver out and
Had Mr. Smith not been there,
The villagers were ready to rip and
To tear the driver apart,
But the vet tried to stop them
Before they could start!
The back of the truck was
Closed up tight
But the villagers pulled it
Open wide,
And now there was nothing
Left to hide!
All Pinky's cousins jumped
Hastily out with sheer delight
And surrounded Pinky as she
Helped them escape their plight!
Pinky was happy, and
Mr. Smith so proud,
This is my friend
He shouted out loud!
He bent down on his knees,
Among all the bushes and trees,
And gave Pinky a huge big hug
In front of the happy, and now
Satisfied crowd!
