Pig Lit
Sloppy, muddy pigsty,
nasty, smelly pig stink—
lovely in a pig’s eye,
lovely, that’s what pigs think.
“Awful, rotten hog-hole,”
says not a single hog soul,
for there is not a sole hog
who doesn’t love life whole-hog.
nasty, smelly pig stink—
lovely in a pig’s eye,
lovely, that’s what pigs think.
“Awful, rotten hog-hole,”
says not a single hog soul,
for there is not a sole hog
who doesn’t love life whole-hog.
