Write your own Pigmare!
Don't know where to begin?
Here are a few lines to get you started:
I wish I was a monster pig,
Not too small and not too big.
I'd gobble pizzas with my slop
With extra cheese and swill on top.
Still wondering what to write next?
Here are some ideas to get the creative juices flowing:
- What would you wear as a monster pig?
- Where would you live? In a cave? A swamp? A farm?
- Would you go to school?
- Who is your best friend? Would it be another monster?
- Would you have a pet?
- What else would you eat? What would you NOT eat?
We'll post the best poems here:
Here's one from a Beaulah:
If I were a royal pig
I'd be wearing a crown not a wig
and I'd live it up like a pig
of course.
I won't go to school
but I definitely will enroll
in a five-star Pig Finishing School
of course.
As for friends, I'll be fine
with dozens of pig cousins
most of whom would be cool
(in a pig way, of course)
although two or three would be boars.
Boars, bores, boors, what's the pig diff?
I don't think I'd have live pets
More likely I'll be into pet rocks, in sets
and diamonds in the trough
and pearls for swine
of course.
And oh. I wouldn't, ever, ever, ever eat
pork chops, or pork loin, or bacon,
or worst of all (or best of all---depends
on whether you're a pig---or not)
a crackling-crispy charcoal-roasted
skewered-whole suckling pig*
of course.
*Lechón, the Philippine national dish.
