Pigs

  • Pigs are playful
  • Pigs are pink
  • Pigs are smarter
  • than you think.
  • Pigs are slippery
  • Pigs are stout
  • Pigs have noses
  • Called a snout.
  • Pigs are pudgy
  • Pigs are plump
  • Pigs can run
  • But never jump.
  • Pigs are loyal
  • Pigs are true
  • Pigs don’t care for
  • Barbecue.
This poem first appeared in Ranger Rick Magazine, Jan. 1993; a nature magazine for kids, published by the National Wildlife Federation.

The Pigs Played Football

  • The pigs played football
  • And ate barbecue
  • Until they were told,
  • “They’re made out of you!”
