none hear the meat-man coming

Hmmm... quasi-humorous, quasi-metaphorical, quirkily philosophical. One can pack a lot into a haiku form.

Oh the poor little pigs. So busy feeding their face did not know they would end up on a plate surrouned by paper lace.

This whole thing is a great metaphor how we live our lives ignorant of death being only arms length away. Powerful entry.

What a unique use of sound, you can hear the pigs-and a sad ending, but an excellent haiku!
