Poem Artwork


There was a pig who was not big enough to be
A little pig a pig about as big as me

They said because he was not fat that he lacked that
Quantity of piggery though not quality
They wanted and it haunted him to ask them why

Not enough of him for their cost-efficiency

They said I was too small too but I disagree
Because I am big enough to be me you see
Never mind the slaughterhouse I want to be free

And I could never help but be a butterfly
(Please try and understand me as I flutter by)
