Excellence Award in the 'Write As Rain 2014' competition
It was pink and podgy,
Its nose made weird wet sounds,
Its tail curled and twisted
As it wandered the farm grounds.
The horse galloped into its stable,
The cows into their byres,
Even the geese ran to the hills,
And the mice hid among some old tyres.
It was the terror of the farmyard,
Nothing dared to cross its path,
Partly because of its terrible stench,
For it had never had a bath.
But mostly because it was fearsome,
Intimidating and big,
The animal all others fear,
The monster-it was a PIG!
