In England once there lived a big
And wonderfully clever pig.
To everybody it was plain
That Piggy had a massive brain.
He worked out sums inside his head,
There was no book he hadn't read.
He knew what made an airplane fly,
He knew how engines worked and why.
He knew all this, but in the end
One question drove him round the bend:
He simply couldn't puzzle out
What LIFE was really all about.
What was the reason for his birth?
Why was he placed upon this earth?
His giant brain went round and round.
Alas, no answer could be found.
Till suddenly one wondrous night.
All in a flash he saw the light.
He jumped up like a ballet dancerAnd yelled,
"By gum, I've got the answer!"
"They want my bacon slice by slice"
To sell at a tremendous price!
"They want my tender juicy chops"
To put in all the butcher's shops!
"They want my pork to make a roast"
And that's the part'll cost the most!
"They want my sausages in strings!"
They even want my chitterlings!"
The butcher's shop! The carving knife!
"That is the reason for my life!"
Such thoughts as these are not designed
To give a pig great piece of mind.
Next morning, in comes Farmer Bland,
A pail of pigswill in his hand,
And piggy with a mighty roar,
Bashes the farmer to the floor…
Now comes the rather grizzly bit
So let's not make too much of it,
Except that you must understand
That Piggy did eat Farmer Bland,
He ate him up from head to toe,
Chewing the pieces nice and slow.
It took an hour to reach the feet,
Because there was so much to eat,
And when he finished, Pig, of course,
Felt absolutely no remorse.
Slowly he scratched his brainy head
And with a little smile he said,
"I had a fairly powerful hunch
"That he might have me for his lunch.
"And so, because I feared the worst,
"I thought I'd better eat him first."

Plot: Het gedicht gaat over een heel slim varken, dat alles weet, behalve waarom die bestaat. Als hij erachter komt dat hij alleen bestaat om op gegeten te worden, eet hij zijn baas, de boer, op. Dit doet hij om er zeker van te zijn dat hij niet door hem opgegeten kan worden.
Theme: de dichter wil hiermee duidelijk maken dat alle levende wezens gevoelens hebben en dat het eigenlijk verschrikkelijk is dat men dieren dood, alleen maar om ze op te eten.
Characters: Het slimme varken en de boer.
Point of view: Het gedicht is eigenlijk een soort verhaaltje dat verteld wordt door een verteller.
Personal Opinion: Het is een erg grappig gedicht vinden wij. Er is erg leuk beschreven hoe het varken het niet pikt om opgegeten te worden en dus de boer maar opeet.
