Pigs (by Janet Bruno) I think pigs Are really nice. Their tails are curly, Their faces fat, Their noses are so very flat. They eat like hogs. They really stink. They wallow in mud. Some are quite pink. I think pigs Are really nice.	This Little Piggy This little piggy can wiggle its ears, Wiggle its nose, And wiggle its toes. This little piggy can jump up and down, turn around, And touch the ground. This little piggy can grunt when it's sad, Squeal when its mad, And oink when it's glad. This little piggy can eat very fast, Splish and splash, Then sleep in the grass.
