Out he shot like a screaming hyena, the Pig’s wig to the side His trotters were performing a jig, he wasn’t quite sure. Usually he leaves the house so full of respect and pride And was particular about anything he touched or indeed wore.
“The Duck’s gone” he yelled to nobody that was about “My friend has up and left me” sobbing out for all he was worth “Does nobody care, can anyone hear me if I shout”. “Talk to me, it doesn’t cost the Earth”
By now the Pig had got his bloomers in a twist Started searching all the cupboards he could find. Seeking out the little places he had inadvertently missed. Looking in all the secret hideouts a Duck would hide.
The Pig sat in a corner and waited for the duck to come back. He waited a couple of days and he was wondering whether he was dead. He something outside, he thought it was a quack. In slid a skinny leg and a webbed foot as brown as wholemeal bread.
In slid a suitcase with stickers “I was here” on from a seaside resort. In came an enormous stuffed donkey toy with “Made in Spain” on it. The little devil has been abroad without me, he thought He has got the nerve I have to admit.
He was getting crosser and crosser by the minute He was a nice shade of violet and blue. The blood in his veins putting pressure on his three piece suit In fact he was getting himself wound up and in a stew.
“Where exactly do you think you have been” enquired the blue blob “Oh I have been to Majorca for the week, told you when I booked”. By now he’d heard enough and his head had started to throb. The Duck had squeezed in his saucepan cupboard and never looked.
The Pig was still chattering on firing the same old question The Duck was stuffing himself silly with Spanish sweets Devouring one after the other in no order or hesitation Never before had he had such nice treats.
ThePig finally tapped on the door of the cupboard and spoke The Duck could not answer owing to too much food being in his beak. The Pig was under the impression he was copying a bloke When the Duck let out a gigantic squeak.
A line of ants were frog marching a leaf around his leg He froze like a solid lump of ice o a hot day. His legs were shaking like they were scrambled egg And his mind had gone into panic and was far away.
The Pig the protective one, at once became a superhero role The door between them came down with a crash To the annoyance of the Duck who had his head in a pudding bowl Promptly hid the bowl and sweets in a flash.
“How dare you interrupt me” shouted he with a frown. His legs were twitching from the ants which were bothering him The Duck got up off the floor and proceeded to jump up and down, The Pig thought his actions were foolish and pretty grim.
One week later the Duck reluctantly emerged from the cupboard And began to prepare something for friend to eat. He ransacked the shelves like old Mother Hubbard Rescuing some tins of something or other which were now obsolete.
Which was fine by the Pig, he ate anything he could get his trotters on He was just pleased to be reunited with his dear old friend. He dined until what=ever the meal was called was gone He did not enjoy the slop and once more had to pretend.
