the secret swine society

Missing image

the secret swine society

now heed these words, for it is not well known
the secret swine society, is real
and power pigs will soon control the throne
they’re attacking world peace with such zeal
and they guard the secret of the ham bone
a strategy they, have tried to conceal
i’m releasing this… but after its read
the secret swine would rather see me dead

the pen was founded by Sidney Porkier
soon joined by Britney Sparerib, the star
they needed power that was debonair
enlisting some pigs that came from afar
so Hillary Clintham joined the affair
next came George Bushog; pig’s feet in a jar
Al Boar joined the circle, such a pig’s ass
these five are in charge the pigs with no class

if you think that you, will soon be forsaken
with government apples crammed down your throat
prices too high to bring home the bacon
while government pigs just sit there and gloat
fight for our freedom before it is taken
get out and be active and put on your coat
the political pigs will rip out your guts
and we will be ruled by a pig that’s a putz

    Hehehe, hahaha, OMG Mark Russell would love to have you on one of his shows. With your sense of humor you would fit right in with him. This was hilarious and I am still lmao at it. Even that little pig in your picture would have to be disgusted by these fat cats who keep getting richer while the middle and lower class are kept down by all the new taxes that keep getting levied on them. More and more small farms go out of business every day and the chosen few get the government contracts. How to control the food industry in a nutshell. I just went back to look at the names you used one more time and I'm laughing so hard all over again. Thank you for sharing with me. Good luck in the contest. Keep writing poet. seamaiden ♥

    I love this! This is a first for me in seeing the word; "debonair" in a poem. I highly commend you for that one word, and its usage. Clever!

    "Sidney Porkier, Britney Sparerib, Hillary Clintham, George Bushog, Al Boar"

    Absolutely loved the ending. LOL

    There are some highly recognizable political overtones here poet. Yes! I do love this poem and the metaphors used to suggest all sorts of things. The innuendos are great! This is "dark, delicious, and too darn funny". You should receive top merit for this one lady! The best to you in the contest.


    Much Love & Many Blessings ♥

    hehe - you know alot of ppl actually believe in a conspiracy theory that the world is run by an alien lizard race who can shape-shift - I swear to god I'm not making this up.. Personally I'd rather pigs than lizards!

    Amera...you are a riot, as well as an exceptional poet...dear niece..Yes, I agree, It seems the world is going nuts and I mean nuts! And sometimes I think at the same time, poor old AP has more than a touch of it with some of its' poems..Each to their preference....Humour we need,like yours in these dire times but I feel like saying"Stop the world I want to get off" But your poem helps me to think of things to laugh about....I don't envy you Americans when you have to vote next year..The choices are an enigma and poor...Though I admire a few...Thanks for the pickled pig feet humour....I loved it...Better than some that is circulating these days, and the near to insanity of the shenanigans of AP life in some circles...Love you my niece...Hey do you know about our poltics....they are trying to have a court case about a prime minister for his wheelings and dealings about taking money from a man from Germany trying to promote their airbuses in 1986!!!!!!......Now write one about that! I can't stop raving about your names....for these public figures of such importance, except I do like Sidney...I am bookmarking this...Thanks for your poem...Takes ones' mind off some insane issues going on these days up here....and sad to say within poetry.
