A swine flew over the cuckoo's nest <br />and he barely could clear it at speed, <br />he had noticed a rumbling inside his chest <br />right after his last slop o' feed. <br /> <br />Said the cuckoo 'my friend you look out of breath <br />you no doubt got the shot for the flu, <br />all the critters will surely be catching their death <br />I sincerely do hope though, not you.' <br /> <br />Said the swine 'I declined, as the first needle broke <br />in my tough and delicious thick skin, <br />they were laughing, it wasn't a silly old joke <br />then the jabber pronounced with a grin: <br /> <br />'You vill take zis vackzine, ve haff made it forr yoo <br />it iss Bayer, vee make ze best schtuff, <br />lest yoo vant to refooss vee vill coll in ze krew <br />and inschekt ze most vonnderfull schnuff! ' <br /> <br />So the porker escaped, grew big wings overnight <br />out of fear for his health and his life, <br />when the powers took all of his say as of right <br />and they also arrested his wife, <br /> <br />he flew high in the sky till he came to the gate <br />where St. Peter stands guard and admits <br />souls from earth who excelled and who prayed for their fate <br />when he suddenly got the big SH*ts! <br /> <br />Down it fell from the sky, clouds were forming, all brown <br />though the man at the gate had a heart, <br />he said 'Pig, come on in, here's your heavenly gown', <br />when the porker squeezed out a loud fart. <br /> <br />'You have shown, said the boss, that a porker can fly <br />even God was surprised by your skill <br />but your dropping are, well...too much pie in the sky <br />it will make all the feathered friends ill.' <br /> <br />With a wave of his hand (it was God) he then cured <br />little piggie of runnings behind <br />and from then all the pigs down on earth were assured <br />their own place up in heaven (how kind!) . <br /> <br />One condition was placed: not to have the flu jab <br />and to fly on their self-powered wings, <br />now you know why all pigs have the gift of the gab <br />and I hope you appreciate things.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich 2<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/swine-who-flew/
