Gary had a little ham.
In fact, it was a pig.
He took it to the abattoir
although it wasn't big.

It made the workers laugh and joke
to see a pig so small.
They said, "You’ll have to bring it back
much fatter overall."

So Gary took his pig back home
and fed him sausage pie
with bacon rolls and porky bites.
The pig was on a high.

They played a game of hide and seek
'till nearly time for bed,
snugly curled up by the fire,
Gary stroking piggy’s head.

A mutual affection
quickly grew between the two.
Little piggy didn't know
the plan that wasn't carried through.

Gary had a little ham
who grew into a friend.
They lived together happily
until the very end.
