Piglets

The piglets were a greedy lot,                                         

They’d scoff and scoff and scoff.

All of them ate all the food,

And they were very rude.

They didn’t care about any one,

They just thought it lots of fun.

They’d roll about in the dirt,

Not caring who they hurt.

Until one day,

To there utter dismay.

Their mum gave a shout,

And gave them a clout.

And now they keep clean,

They’re the nicest piglets

You’ve ever seen.
