Be kind to the swine. Don’t give them the blame.
Treat all pigs with kindness. Shake a hoof, ask their name!
As a gesture of kindness, consider biscuits and tea.
I’ve heard roast beef and pound cake makes a pig squeal with glee!
Or…
You could take a piggy to market and buy some new shoes…
add some bloomers, some stockings and a handbag or two!
Yes be kind to the pig. Turn his gray skies to blue.
But first wash your hands. Please don’t give him Swine Flu!
Achoo!

I’ve really been neglecting my shops lately. I have items waiting to be listed and some that have expired. So I’m going to be updating and highlighting more often.

I’m told if you leave a mouse sized morsel next to a pile of socks that need darning, pants that need patches or a shirt with missing buttons, in the morning you’ll find the cheese gone and your clothes carefully mended.
I’ve also heard he’s partial to Gouda!

Just what makes that little ol’ ant
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can’t
Move a rubber tree plant
But he’s got high hopes… he’s got high hopes
He’s got high apple pie in the sky hopes
So any time you’re getting low
‘Stead of letting go,
Just remember that ant.
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.
