Ode to Mini Pig
They call them sea-piggies in Germany
In France they're guinee porc
They're the favourite pet, say many
Of His Royal Highness, the Duke of York
XX
I hid one in my room not long ago
Mini Pig is his name
And though he craps and pisses everywhere
I feel no embarrassment- no shame.
XX
My pet is near and dear to me
My truest pride and joy
He's the morale-booster in A Company
Who brings a smile to every boy
XX
But I fear he may have to leave
His time in barracks cut short
I could cry, plead, beg and grieve
But not stall my TAC's report
XX
It's an offer I can't refuse, you see
However I might try to
Master Chief told me yesterday:
Either the guinea pig goes or I do.
