Big Earl and Me

by Richard Hoyle, Founder, Mini-Pigs Sanctuary

Written on the passing of Big Earl, March 17, 2004

When the trailer pulled up and they dropped the gate

I knew his arrival was more than fate

One look in his eyes and I could plainly tell

His life with us would go very well

A special bond there soon would be

Between this pig, Big Earl, and me

He came as a companion for the big pig, Babe

But she don't care for this big white knave

She chases him and runs him ragged

And bites his butt 'till his nerves are jagged

He's a gentle old man as all can see

We're the best of friends, Big Earl and me

He's long and tall and very sweet

He's a lot of things, but not petite

He's as laid back as a pig can be

Like me he's clumsy as can be

Can't neither of us climb a tree

We're two of a kind, Big Earl and me

He helps me with my chores each day

Most of the time he's in my way

I'd chase him off but I'd rather he stay

While across my tools he likes to lay

He helps me work till time to feed

We're quite a team, Big Earl and me

Some days when the weather is warm and hazy

Earl and I get kinda lazy

We find a tree that's big and shady

We lay down together in its lee

And take a snooze, Big Earl and me

He lays his head upon my lap

And both of us take a little nap

We talk and talk 'bout this and that

I look forward to our daily chat

He's a pretty smart pig I've come to see

We have a good time, Big Earl and me

We talk at length of all his kin

Butchered by men on just a whim

To see his brothers upon a plate

You'd think would give him cause to hate

But pigs can't hate, I've come to see

We've learned a lot, Big Earl and me

There's a lot we just don't understand

Why man must kill to feel so grand

And always have the upper hand

He's taught me lots 'bout humility

And different ways I've come to see

Thanks to the love 'tween Earl and me

When our race is run and we meet out fate

We'll both show up at the Pearly Gate

I'll bet Saint Peter will make us wait

While he asks the Lord to look and see

If there are two heavenly spaces free

One for Big Earl and one for me

And if the answer is "Y'all come on in"

We'll both enter heaven free from sin

We'll nose around for a while to see

If we can find a celestial tree

We'll kick back all trouble free

And enjoy Heaven together...Big Earl and me

But if the word comes down "No pigs in here"

We'll tell Saint Peter "Stick it in your ear"

We'll pack our gear and keep on lookin'

Till we find a place where pigs are rootin'

It won't be heaven, don't you see

Unless there's room for Big Earl and me

I could pen many verses longer and cuter

But Earl's lost interest and gone off with Scooter

To do pig things far more entertaining

And left me here with rhymes waning

So I'll leave you now and go and see

If I can make it three...Scooter, Big Earl and me

Yes, it is no Rimbaud, but cute none the less

Well, from a standpoint of literary criticism, it is very poor.

However, CUTE PIGGIES RULE REGARDLESS!

Well, it was written by a normal guy, a guy that runs an animal sanctuary, not a pro writer ;-) personall I like poems writen by normal people because sometimes literary correct ones seem to be stuffy and boring to read lol throw alittle jaz in there and make it cute instead of proper!

just my two cents

PS... since this is literary, I of COURSE have to mis-spell half of the stuff on my post lol. I just type too fast ;-) and its funnier to make a note of it than it is to correct it lol. but I can use the words THAN and THEN properly! -teehee

pps... I just had to come back and correct this post too ROFLMFAO!!!

It's a bit long winded, but it's still cute. I got a chuckle out of it.
