Hello Barb, No offense taken, I just like Pigs. I fact two or three of my poems dwell on the subject. Pigs bring back happy memories of the one big time as a child in an Orphanage. Once a year we were taken to the sea side for a fortnights holiday The only bright spark in our young lives. At this holiday camp there was a range of pig sties which fascinated we children. There were Pigs of all sizes and colours. They made a welcome change and it was refreshing to imitate the grunts that the Pigs made. It has followed me all of my life. If I had the intelligence and the know how I would make a banner just for the Pigs that brightened up the lives of a couple of hundred children.
