that she no longer liked him or men
was the day that piglet cried his last
when he bled out into the grass
the men, they got him from his pen
he trotted smiling, they were friends
the day was hot, the sun was high
the piglet smiled up at the sky
the men were sombre, they did not grin
conscience burning, was this a sin?
meanwhile sue felt free insidesince she told glen, she needn't hide
the love she had was for a girl
simply said, it rocked glen's world
the rope was tight,it burned his skin
the piglet grunted deep in his chin
the men walked fast, they got there soon
this pig would meet his fate at noon
tied the rope and held the feet
time to turn this pig to meat
the piglet squealed, he even cried
the blood ran out and then he died
sue was smiling, she took a breath
that life was over, sure as death
she loved glen but not like that
his life bled out into the grass
the piglet soon was made to meat
his back, his sides and even his feet
no one recalled his smiling face
especially when he was on the plate
glen was too upset to eat
sue had turned his heart to meat
would she recall her husband's face
when she moved out and found her space?
