This Little Piglet

The breeding sow his mother had got 14 piglets

He had been given strict instructions that they weren’t his pets

In the mornings he was told to bring the sow feed

So he worked hard cutting it grass and some hog weed

Life for him though hectic was rewarding

I heard of his devotion to his chores every morning

Then his mother told him he must make a count

The piglets were all over the yard so he must check the amount

Like clock work he did and all was well

Everyday he counted and everyday he would tell

Put his stool down and waited at milking time and shouted 1, 2, 3

It was that one morning when he stopped at 13 that alarmed me

Got his mother worried too, she shouted praedial larceny call the cops

Loudly she screamed to lift the roof tops

Enraged she confirm with Ossie, you only count 13, boy wha we gun do

This little piglet in de yard wont cum and lemme count he too!
