Stay-At-Home Pig - Nursery Rhyme

That little piggy who chose to beg off
going to market, stayed home with a cough.
   He bragged he was a cut above
   butchering, "when push comes to shove
I will always be king at the food trough."

While "king" was napping in the best mud hole,
roast beef pig tied his four feet to a pole;
      had-none pig slopped glue in his eyes.
      When "Come, get it!" the farmer cries,
stay-at-home pig finds out who's in control.
