A Tale of Five Piggies
 
The first goes to market
dressed like a buyer
and is bid on, 
bought 
and butchered
before noon.
 
The second stays home
till we fatten her up.
 
The next is a porky, 
parody of a pig 
and has roast beef
with fatty drippings
over Yorkshires 
and mash
in hopes of filling
his missing brother’s 
part of the pen.
 
The fourth will have none of it;
fat bastard needs to be trim
before Sunday.
 
The last little piggy
though plump in her pics,
was nothing 
a keen-eyed 
butcher would buy.

She wee-wee’d her way 
all the way home
to an empty pantry
and a table set
by hungry mouths.
Beautiful 

I see in it references to particular socks and trolls that infest this forum, but the theme embraces the general topic of trollery in a connected world, thus making it catholic
