a pig for the fiftieth
1
And it’s fifty years
since Farmer Joe and Mary married
but Joe forgets;
Joe is always in La La land
Darl, do you know what day it'll be
come Saturday?
says Mary, who’s still got all her teeth
No,
says Joe
who's still got strong hands and feet
No, no, no…I don’t know – wait,
what was your question?
2
It’s our fiftieth, darl
says Mary
Let’s have a feast, invite the kids
and the neighbors
– and let’s **** a pig
O,
says Farmer Joe
*I don’t know why
the pig’s got to take the blame
for something we did fifty years ago
...another existing poem transformed into verse...I love what happens, and the transformation...
