A Little Pig (Fun Poem 61) Poem by David Harris

A little pig went to market,
but no one wanted to buy him
so the farmer took him home
and started calling him Babe.

Babe was a herding pig
and learned to herd sheep.
Everyone looked amazed
at the sheepdog trials.

Babe walked away
with the first prize
and left many sheepdogs
with their mouths open.

Then came a movie producer
and saw the little pig.
He wrote a story
and Babe got the lead.

Now the little pig that went to market
is a big movie star.
Last I heard is he in line
for and Oscar someday.
