Rodneys Self Portrait

Who is that? His sister asked, staring at his art.
It’s me! Rodney Rooter said. Don’t be so smart!
But you don’t look that dapper, that handsome, that thin!
With a sister like this, it’s a wonder what a shape he was in!

Rodney had been pleased with his self portrait, proud.
Now his sister’s voice had commanded a large gathering crowd.
That pig is adorable! Uncle Hawg said. Who is he then?
Rodney Rooter sucked in his tummy, trying to look thin.

So clever and cute. You know you could have a children's book full of these. It would be a perfect Christmas present!
