My Mini Pig

 

Once I had a mini pig

I won him at a fair

I had a lovely garden too

I put my pig in there

 

my mini pig was similar

to a normal pig

except my mini pig was small

and normal pigs are big

 

I made my mini pig a house

out of a biscuit tin

with a tiny tea cup

he could eat his dinner in

 

I bought my mini pig a coat

I took him out for strolls

and whenever he got hungry

I fed him sausage rolls

 

my mini pig was so content

to be a mini pig

that it caught the pair of us off guard

when he started to get big

 

mini pigs are never meant

to expand so much

This pig outgrew his biscuit tin

so I bought him a hutch

 

a rabbit hutch built for a rabbit

isn’t very big

and could not house the behemoth

that was my-once mini pig

 

perhaps it was the exercise

that made him big and strong

or the daily yoga

which made him get so long

 

perhaps the fact we talked to him

and gave encouragement

was the primary reason why

things went the way they went

 

perhaps it was the sunshine

that encouraged him to grow

Perhaps it was the bottomless

supply of sausage rolls

 

regardless of the cause, our pig

who was originally small

became with time and nourishment

not so small at all

 

which would have been fine I guess

as normal pigs are nice

but my mini pig was small

and this one’s 9 times the size
