This Little Piggy
(vignette of sty time)
"grunt" went the piglet
searching for teat
mom had gone missing
who then, would meet
needs of the youngest
sty habitant?
not little doggy
-- not yonder cat
out in the barnyard
simple-spent life
feed or be fodder
seemingly strife
still, in rich sunshine,
waddled in mire
passing of minutes
easy expired
rumbling of tummy
met soon by sow
life back, contented,
look at him now
dumb, fat, and happy
stuffed as a bear
rolling in muddiness
nary a care
