The Happy Little Pigs

And, two by two, start trooping

Home after a busy day,

Their pink snouts drooping.

They soak in a fragrant bubble bath,

All seven sons and the daughter.

They jump and play and splash about,

Their hooves churning the water.

Next food, and then, their bellies gorged,

They all prepare to sleep.

They bounce a bit, then snuggle up

In a piglet heap.

The piglets settle down

So Mama will begin.

At night she reads to them,

Once they are all tucked in.

She embraces her eight children,

Gives every piglet a pat,

Reads them fables and fairy tales

And their favorite: The Cat in the Hat.

They have lain down together,

Touching side by side.

Papa looks in on his children,

Stroking his snout in pride.

«Oink oink!» says Mama Sow,

«Tomorrow will be bright,

A brand-new sunny day.

But now, good night, sleep tight!»
