Plot/Description
Spoiler Warning! In England once there lived a
very clever pig. He could do math problems in his head and he'd read every
book. He knew a lot of things, but he didn't know what LIFE was really all
about. "What was the reason for his birth? / Why was he placed upon this
earth?" Eventually the pig figured out the answer: he existed for people
to eat. He would be turned into bacon and ham and sausages. "Such thoughts
as these are not designed / To give a pig great peace of mind." So the
next day when Farmer Bland came to feed the pig, the pig based him on the
head with a mighty roar. Then the pig proceeded to eat up every bit of the
farmer. He felt no remorse. "I had a fairly powerful hunch / That he might
have me for his lunch, / And so, because I feared the worst, / I thought
I'd better eat him first."
