Is that a warthog up in that tree?
Goodness me, how can it be?
It is a warthog, it is in that tree
and that is the truth - don't disagree.
I talk to the warthog, the poor helpess critter
and the tone of his grunting is really quite bitter.
"I'm just a hog," he says, "what did I do
to be left in this tree? I wish that I knew.
I was just living the way I knew how,
and next thing I know there's this great big cow!
She didn't talk, just glared at me like this -"
and he gives me a stare I'd have been glad to miss.
He finishes his tale, a tale of woe
"and then that cow me did throw!"
(He's quite a Shakespeare, I thought to myself
but he continued as if to himself)
"Now I am trapped here in this tree,
if you are kind, please set me free!"
So that poor warthog I lifted down
and we went for a drink together in town.
Thus ends the tale of I and the hog...
but as we walk off I heard the voice of a dog.
"Is that a puppy up in that tree?"
exclaimed the warthog, as I turned to flee.
