A pig's life is short and its experience somewhat limited. But when it comes to food our porcine friend is not quite so mute as one might suppose. In this witty and eccentric collection of poems parodying famous verse, the literate and erudite among our grunting sophisticates impart their pigly wisdom, teaching both human and young piglings alike something of what it means to be a pig. Line art throughout.

A CRACKLING GOOD READ!
'Snuffle ye truffles while ye can
Old Time is still a flying,
And somewhere surely hangs the pan
That bits of ye will fry in.'
