Prod the pig was very wise
And so very, unaware
He didn't try to chase off flies
He didn't move when mud was there

He simply lay, as pigs can do
And thought of all the things he knew

Prod the pig was brave and strong
Although you'd never know it
By lying still you can't go wrong
With all those thoughts of "blow it"

He lay about to meet his need
And didn't move except to feed

Prod the pig was bright and smart
He dreamed the thoughts of ages
Although life did not move his heart
With wisdom of the sages

He lay in weight, as pigs must do
Digested thoughts so rich and true

Prod the pig was nearly old
He lived a spam or more
Of all the tales he had not told
He had another score

He sat and thunk, for pigs won't show
All the things they feel and know

Prod of wisdom had his fill
His thoughts were all world shakin'
Prod the pig was wise until
They turned him into bacon.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
