Fiction Friday
Here's another older story. This story is only partly fiction, but it's too strange to be all fact. I made a sad attempt to write a newer story, but my cold is holding back even the strange things from my mind. I hope you like this one. It's fittingly bizarre for Fiction Friday, and it is actually a preview of my next story.
Some Pig! What a pig! Look at the muscles on that pig! That one looks like it's a strong pig! And it's really friendly too! Who could ask more of any pig! I wonder if it's related to Spider Pig.I'll tell you, if I had a pet pig like this one, I would ride it to work every day. That would save some gas! Or it could pull a little cart for me to ride in. Wouldn't that be a sight? A pig pulling a cart with a white rat in it. I could feed the pig leftovers. No more paying for gas! Except maybe from the pig.
Do you ever wonder what a pig like this is thinking? I know, me neither. Really, I think this pig might be worried that Jack the Farmer might want it for a meal. That would be a shame if such a great pig ended up as bacon and pork chops. I'll have to try and talk Jack out of it. Maybe he could trade another cow for something else to eat. That usually turns out pretty well.
I do have to say, it is a friendly pig. It looks like it wants somebody, anybody to feed it. You have to get that big somehow. This pig not only tolerated, but welcomed gangs of evil little kids. It went over to them, and just loved it while they pawed at it and petted it. I think the pig was in heaven. Who would have thought a pig would act like that?I did have a pet pig when I was a kid. We used to keep it in a pen out in the back. There used to be a garage there, but my dad tore it down, which is another story entirely. It turns out the garage, and the land around it, was full of poisonous snakes. There were a lot of them where we lived then. Pigs like ours, would kill and eat snakes. That's why we really had the pig.
When we moved away, my dad gave our pet pig to the neighbors. We didn't mind too much. The pig had to live somewhere. Then my mom told me that they would probably slaughter and eat it. What a sad day! I felt terrible. My poor pig! I bet the pig felt worse than I did. I'll always remember that pig.
There you go. I just gave you a twisted tale about a twisted tail. I hope you liked it. ...Oh, one more thing. If you have a pig of your own, give it a hug for me.

Different, never thought that much about pigs before.
ReplyDeleteI don't have pigs any longer so I guess I'll just have to go hug the bacon in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Now I have "Spider Pig, Spider Pig" stuck in my head. I might even stick the DVD in an watch the movie again tonight.
Ok, now you've got me crying over a damn pig. And to make matters worse, I just got back from the grocery store where I bought pork ribs AND pork chops. Fine, just fine. Now you've put a face on my food. Never fear though, I would never have roasted ratty.
ReplyDeleteHe's a cutie and I like the idea of riding your pig to work :)
ReplyDeleteHeard that pig is the smartest animal after human, yet slide show on pork chop, "Bak Kut Teh" (Malaysia famous ribs soup), Hokkien Mee (noddle soup) keeps playing. I can't help!!!
ReplyDeleteI like pigs- I think they are quite funny. Sorry, I can't think of anything clever to say tonight.
ReplyDeleteJinx - I guess you don't have a dad that grew up on a farm, like me.:)

WiseAcre - Bacon is one of my favorite kinds of pig, so I guess that's okay.
Spider Pig, Spider Pig, does whatever a Spider Pig can.

Retired One - Just remember not to eat the face. Ribs and chops taste better anyway.:) If you find pork in a grocery store, it's ok to eat then. If you find a rat in a grocery store, don't shop there anymore.:)

Jodapoet - I wish I knew where I got the idea to ride the pig from. I guess it was from one of the deep dark places in my brain.:)

Rainfield - I heard the same thing. I also heard that cannibals say that pig and human taste very similar. Some of them call human meat, "long pig". I still keep thinking of bacon and sausage myself.
Sharkbytes - I'm not sure I ever think of anything very clever to say. Lately with my cold, it's been much harder.
ReplyDeleteAt first I was wondering how can the pig carry you? But then I forgot you are rat-ty, not really that man with shoe size of 14 :)
ReplyDeleteFun post, like it. Despite not feeling well, you can think of something fun for us.
Betchai - Yeah, on Fridays I'm always that little white mouse with one eye, who wishes he was as big and tough as a rat. Actually, I've seen some pretty huge pigs that might have been big enough to carry the real me.:)
ReplyDeleteI love bacon. Do you?
ReplyDeleteI also like pigs and rats like you.
ReplyDeleteI love this website and I'm also new.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - Very good rhymes from the Wonderland tea party.
