If I Were a Pig!

Sometimes I think it would be cool
To be a pig, they have no school.
And I am thrilled when I envision
A life without this dumb division.

Their world is limited, you see,
Pigs never study geography.
In spelling I would be a whiz,
When oink's the only word there is.

When it rains I wouldn't go in.
It would roll right off my tough pig skin.
I could laze around in a dirty place
And never have to wash my face.

But I know that I will stay a child,
For the stuff they eat is pretty wild.
I could handle all that mud and dirt,
But I can't eat slop for my dessert.
