Any Part of Piggy
Language: English
Any part of the piggy Is quite alright with me. Ham from Westphalia, ham from Parma Ham as lean as the Dalai Lama Ham from Virginia, ham from York, Trotters, sausages, hot roast pork. Crackling crisp for my teeth to grind on Bacon with or without the rind on Though humanitarian I'm not a vegetarian. I'm neither a crank nor prude nor prig And though it may sound infra dig Any part of the darling pig Is perfectly fine by me.
