I met a pig downtown today. Or was that just a dream? He thrust his snout into my face And said, "I am not what I seem. You see a well-groomed gentleman With manners so supreme." What I saw was a talking pig, Or was that just a dream? He raised a muddy foot aloft And tapped it twice against my chest And said, "Don't be fooled because My clothes and manners are the best. Here's a little secret," he said, And winked his piggy eye. "I may look like a royal prince, But my birthplace is a sty. Promise you won't tell" he begged. "I enjoy my human guise." Well, all I saw when I looked at him Were those beady piggy eyes. Oh you can reinvent yourself, And choose your part to play. But the piggy soul you started with May at times get in the way. |
