Pickled pigs feet ain't living high off the hog, but I've enjoyed many a meal where they were the offering.



Sow Belly and Fat Back

Farmer John In desperate need for rescue!
Getting pork to market, has become a major issue,

I ain’t no News reporter, but I know I ain’t mistaken,
Save the pig Folks blocking traffic don’t help the price of bacon,

Yes ma’am , I’d like to , hire on, I’m pretty good with pigs,
Been packin them for some time in them diesel rigs,

No, I ain’t too bow legged, I can corner’em pretty good,
You see, catching‘em by the hind leg, I finally understood,

Reckon you’d say I’m a pig hand, and there ain’t no Union scale,
So ten a head is what I get for haulin to the sale,

Yes ma’am I smell just like’em you can always bet,
But with this free college loan stuff, pig hands are hard to get,

Kinda hard to understand,all this education and maybe a big degree,
Still sittin around living on welfare , that ain’t no life for me,

Ain’t gotta lotta ed you ka shun ,
But there ain’t s lotta stuff that I ain’t done,

A show person entertainer ,? No I ain’t never been that,
Cain’t play no music stuff, but a radio I’m pretty good at,

And Ma’am some of the words, you use, I cain’t even spell,
I ain’t good at writing cursive, but I speak it very well,

Yes Ma’am , I’ll take the job, them road blocks I’ll just flatten,
And don’t argue with no demonstrators, I only talk Pig Latin!

A Mark Twain come alive ! Them student guys with loans will come a-looking for ya with pigs' hooves, though. Here, in Paris, right in the centre of town, there's a "Pig's Foot/Hoof" restaurant (pretty pricy) - better keep your job leveling the road to slaughter-house -just in case.
Much enjoyed even if I'm an inveterate vegetarian. Best to the Boss-Lady as well; TW. P.S. So your right hand has healed. Good for beating the Boss with pigs'...
