The Big, Bad Wolf On the Prowl

The Big, Bad Wolf On the Prowl

By Elton Camp

Little pigs the wolf doesn’t hate
He loves them and so he ate

The first pig’s house of straw was made
Just one puff and on the ground it laid

The next pig’s house was made of sticks
A huff and puff and the pig was in a fix

When he came to the house out of bricks
That much huffing and puffing he did nix

He made a sly purchase of the housing loan
The payments late, the place he did own

With the mortgage in his hairy hand
He told the pig, “You’ll taste grand!”

When the eviction notice was served
The pig suffered the fate that he deserved

And so it goes with real estate
The bank is the wolf all berate

A lot of people have it in for the "wolf" and rightly so. Thanks for reading. Elton
