PUT PIG IN BAG

PUT PIG IN BAG

Put pig in bag, carry bag down icy street.
Let pig press pig-nose into bag-corner.
Let pig squeal into bag-corner.

Shuffle-footed walk brisk down icy street alone.
Shuffle-footed alone but for pig,
And but for bag in which you carry pig.

Walk head wrapped tight, legs wrapped tight against
Cold wind. Old, cold wind blows, has blown
Longer than that I have walked behind you.

Know that I know now that but for this pig,
We (me you bag, alone) are alone.

When you all leave I will here be alone
With shuffle-footed myself.
