recorded reading
Old Tom Simms, he kept a pig -
A goat he also kept.
He trained the pig to dance a jig
But the goat, he only slept.
The pig would follow him around
And helped him eat his dinner.
The poor old goat, he made no sound,
But, sadly, got much thinner.
The pig moved in and shared Tom's bed;
The goat stayed in the yard.
The pig looked good, and was well-fed,
But the goat thought life was hard.
The pig would share the fire with Tom -
The goat stayed in the cold.
One day they found the goat was dead, (aaah)
But Piggy lived till old.
And here my story has to end -
Animals! Lend an ear!
Just try to please your human friends -
The moral's all too clear!
