Transcendental Sonnet #1286:

Riddle in the Middle of the Griddle

 

gesture of a jester

 

Life as a dying legend

Death as a living lie

The dead agree let others be

The ones to say not you and I

 

Yet every legend has its end

And I would have death as my friend

But I suspect he would reject

Such common company as me

 

Death is too small for me life is too big

 

Since from his photograph he looks quite burly

I heed his cautionary tail if curly

But dress a sow no matter how and I know now

Belle of the barnyard though she might well be

 

The homemade hog of glory still remains a pig

An enjoyable reading in the "Riddle in the Middle of the Griddle".

Magnificent imagery and wise contents make this poem, a vehicle of a profound message.

This is interesting and unusual but a pig is pretty to another pig.
