Little 'Piggy


Little Piggy sat upon
A shelf high up the wall
She was made of china bone
And not so very tall

Her little body fat and round
Was brightly coloured pink
With polka dots in green and white
Enough to make you blink

Her little eyes seemed to look
At everything around
Her little nose turned up a bit
The end was chocolate brown

Little Piggy rattled too
Or so it seemed to me
There was a little slot on top
I thought what could it be

I gave her quite a hefty shake
To hear what was inside
Then poked around to get it out
A little knife I tried

In the end I laughed with joy
For in my hand I saw
A tiny coin round and bright
One penny - that was all!
