Swine Love
SWINE LOVE
Henry loved Penelope
it was him that she adored
but Henry grew quite restless
she could see that he was bored.
"Go take a break," she finally said
"this farm is long and wide
i know you've always dreamed to see
what's on the other side"
.
Henry 's first encounter
was Gabrielle the goose
"want to have some fun,"she asked
"go hog wild and hang loose?"
"I'm going on a flight," she said,
"come along and we'll glide high,"
"that won't work for me," said Henry,
"pigs dont know how to fly."
Daphne duck cruised on the water,
calling for Henry to come in,
"that wont work for me”, he snorted,
"pigs don’t like to swim."
Sadie the cranky pit bull,
liked to be alone
so Henry rightly decided
to leave her on her own.
The smart old owl flew overhead,
to put Henry back on track,
“Penelope needs you to come home
its time that you went back."
Henry agreed and knew the owl
was powerful and wise
for when he got back to Penelope
he was in for a huge surprise.
There were seven little piglets born
playing, having fun,
two daughters like Penelope
and five were Henry’s sons
.
Henry is at home to stay
he’s as happy as can be
doing whatever pigs do
with his barnyard family. P
