ODE TO THE PIG: HIS TAIL

My tail is not impressive

But it’s elegant and neat.

In length it’s not excessive—

I can’t curl it round my feet—

But it’s awfully expressive,

And its weight is not excessive,

And I don’t think it’s conceit,

Or foolishly possessive

If I state with some aggressiveness that it’s the final master touch

That makes a pig complete.

ODE TO THE PIG: HIS LEGS

The pig has two legs at each end,

Yet he also has two on each side;

And consider him closely, my friend,

He’s with one at each corner supplied.

That makes twelve if my count is correct,

Yet my count’s unaccountably wrong,

For you see only four,

There aren’t any more,

And that is the end of my song.
