Three little piggies are off on their own
Just got some cash and a mobile phone
None of the pigs really wants to roam
Just want to build a house and set up home
First little pig doesn't want to wait
An instant house would be just great
Get it built in quite a whirl
So there's more time to find a girl!
On the web he finds a site
Promises a new house overnight
Pays by card and quick as a flash
A flat packed home for not much cash!
He fits slot A into cross member B
Puts screw C into screw hole D
All the way from A to Z
He did just what the paper said
In just three hours his house is there
Down the pub with time to spare
He comes home, a wolf is waiting
Little pig's house he's contemplating!
He knocks at the door to off "god"
Piggy spots there's something odd
It's something of a golden rule
Jehovah's Witnesses seldom drool!
Though he slams the flat-packed door
Of being safe he isn't sure
He's gonna need his money back
Just two puffs and "House flat-pack"!
Piggy two says "I'm no fool"
Buys a house from a friend from school
The cost is low, he's saving loads
Wants a car to "rip up roads"
The house needs fixing in and out
The walls aren't really all that stout
He thinks it will suit him for a time
The mortgage he got was called "sub-prime"
Brand new car is parked outside
Took a sow out for a ride
Home for coffee, not too late
Another wolf is there in wait!
Piggies in and front door slammed
But sad to say the windows jammed
When the wolf whips up a blow
Something major's got to go!
First two piggies running fast
See their brother's home at last
Doesn't seem to be that rough
Could be that the future's tough
But the third piggy has a happy grin
Welcomes both his brothers in
If there's a wolf he knows what to do
The Cafe next door sells "Korean Dog Stew!!!"

Now this one i really like. its fun and its funny, thanks for the off the cuff rendition of the three pigs.
I have three points. Line 32 theres an "o" missing. line 48 repeats the rhyme tough, as i'm sure you're aware and horrified by, so fix it, how bout "rough" as a direct and perfectly competant substitute. and the last line, way too long, how about "the store next door sells hot dog stew".

can't see a missing o
And yes the first tough is a typo, fixing, because you are right it horrifies me! -
-
fixed the o too now thanks, you just can't count was 39!

Very Funny! -- Excellent Writing
The Cafe next door has much in common with my food business! Tiki Cat, Multi-Billionaire Cat
Buy TIKI'S GOURMET CAT FOOD
"Too Good For Humans"

Tiki's cat food is wolf well stewed?
No wonder he's a cat with attitude!
I wonder if he wears a grin
When a cat and dog fight does begin!

A lovely lady who starts off my day
By praising my poems in such lavish way
Whatever the days brings, and heaps up on me
You liking my writing has set my heart free!

Jeff, great rhyme and rhythm. I loved the updating of this classic tale. It all seemed so natural, this is definitely a favorite of mine from you. By the way, were you your own inspiration for pig 1? Seems to share the eye for the ladies.

There's a bit of me in most of my rhyme
But to tell the truth, for most of the time
If you saw me eat lunch you'd have to agree
There is less me in piggy, than piggy in me!

lol
this is EXACTLY what I needed
to read after a long hard day...
oh, what a delight your imagination
is, my friend
Love, Lane

Being exactly what a beautiful young lady needed is exactly what I needed to read too!
And thanks for the compliments on the poem too :-)
