GUINEY-PIGS is awful cute, With their little trimbly snoot Sniffin' at the pussly that We bring 'em to nibble at. Looks like they're so clean an' white, An' so dainty an' polite, They could eat like you an' me When they's company! Tiltin' down the clover-tops Till they spill, an' overdrops The sweet morning dew -- Don't you Think they might have napkins, too? Ef a guiney-pig was big As a @3shore-an'-certain@1 pig, Nen he wouldn't ac' so fine When he come to dine. Nen he'd chomp his jaws an' eat Things out in the dirty street, Dirt an' all! An' nen lay down In mud-holes an' waller roun'! So the @3guiney-pigs@1 is best, 'Cause they're nice an' tidiest; They eat 'most like you an' me When they's company! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTOXICATION by EMILY DICKINSON THE MARTYR; INDICATIVE OF PASSION OF PEOPLES APRIL 15, 1865 by HERMAN MELVILLE A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE YOUNG GRAY HEAD by CAROLINE ANNE BOWLES SOUTHEY |
