Cheat and love and lie and run
Philosophical incline
Who will win and who will try
Broken promises supply.
Roses, Moses, Richelieu
Rothschild, Laurence Olivier
Who accept and who decline
Leave and stay or laugh and die.
Father Pig upholds the law
Mother Piggy makes coleslaw
Children piglets fight and fly
We will eat them, do not cry.
“Do you love her?” - asked my friend
He discovered shame of bread
“Yes I loved her” - answer was
It is truth, but sounds gross.
Positano, Rome, Beirut
Christ, Antichrist, blood, absurd
Holly cow, sacred grass
Sodom, Gomorra, Montparnasse
Nouns on right and verbs on left
In the middle naked sense
Was Pig’s love to Piggy strong
When he heard his butcher song?
Did Pig’s butcher sing that song?
