Basket Balloon

It was early one November morning

And the three little pigs can be found

In their favourite spot in the meadow

All sitting on the ground,

with a camp-fire burning

and marshmallows on sticks a turning.

The meadow was still covered in dew

from the early morning mist

The three little pigs were fooling around

'til imapig2 remenisced

 

　

　

" The balloons were good

they were just too thin

But a BIG THICK one

might just do the trick

Don't you think thats...'slick'"

 

"There's an old basket in the barn"

said APigCanFly-spinning a yarn

"I'll find it out and dust it down"

moonpig gave his cockeyed frown

"I've got some old braces

well quite a few

So all we need now

Is a balloon & a net too!

"My fish net tights

are just the ticket"

APigCanFly added.."It's alright

to borrow them..if it

will help at all,don't mind at all

I'll take them off now

so close your eyes'

don't want no peekin,'

My two little spies"

 

　

With that job done

it was down to 'brass tacks'

"Where we goin' to get the balloon from ?"

imapig2 asks

Putting her trotters into her pocket

nothing comes out

but a moth & a socket

"Things are a bit tight"said she

"Got no rich uncles,No not me"

　

A cow's udder would do fine

for the balloon - for a time

With the socket to unlock-it,

No....It won't hurt at all

moonpig said laughin'

Let's give it a try

as a large cow walked by.

Moo !

 

So thats what they did

and things went to plan

now we find imapig2

assembling the...er..um..balloon

"I'm ready to go

just need some hot air

to get flying

above the trees...up there

"Don't look at ME" said APigCanFly

I've not got enough hot air inside

Sorry I can't provide"

They hunted around

and found an old bucket,

Got some sticks together

and put those in it.

With the bucket in the basket

beneath the balloon

 

a fire was started,to inflate & soon

imapig2 was once more airbound

Up in the air,yes.. not on the ground

Picture the scene as the balloon flies past

over the forest & into the west

A PigCanFly's tights over a Gi-normous balloon

And moonpigs braces holding fast

and imapig2's efforts

to keep the fire in

an old metal bucket

made entirely of tin

 

　

　

　

　

　

　

Sniff! sniff! I smell burning

imapig2 cried turning

around to see flames

rising higher & higher

Phew! It Was A BIG FIRE !

Her two piggy friends

watched in utter dismay

As they saw the flames licking

and devouring away

a little pink figure

waving frantically Quicker

 

HELP !!!!

 

Is it pork sandwiches for supper ?

Don't tell me...my friend

IS THIS.. YOUR END ! ?

WAKE UP ! piggy dear said imapig2's friends

Camp-fires are so dangerous & often it tends

to follow a trail

in this case Your Tail !

Dear, stop your wingeing

it's your tail that is singeing

With that imapig2 stopped her wail

and the two piggy friends bandaged her tail,

and feeling much better , she now understands

that friendship is better than flying & tends

to be all that she needs.. to be accepted...so ends

with the following words..To her two little friends

Friends Forever
 

 

"These words of mine..to the both of you

cherish them always...yes please do

You're my bestest friends in all the world

said imapig2 as her piggy tail curled"

"you're Our Bestest friend too"

said the pair together

"Thats settled then....we're friends FOREVER"

Three Little Pigs & The Balloons

The Three Little Pigs ( Balloons )

( characters M = moonpig A = APigCanFly I = imapig2 N = narrator )

　

N = A few days later,in the month of May

Imapig2 was heard to say

by her two little friends

who'd come to play

I = I've got a plan,that I think might work

to get me airborn...I'm no 'jerk'

 

A = What have you planned this time little pig

( said APigCanFly doing a 'jig' )

 

　

I = Balloons full of 'gas' I'd try, I thought

tied to a band around my chest,they ought...

to lift me up into the sky

then like you two

I could fly........

What do you think ?

( says moonpig ..with a 'wink'

to APigCanFly )

M = Well I suppose we can but try

The machine in the village

sells balloons & things

 

　

A = It sells toys & flowers

but doesn't sell wings

But you need some money to put in the slot

So Imapig2....how much have you got ?

　

I = Don't have any at present

things are a little tight

A = Thought you'd say that

but... it's alright

　

M = I've got a button around my middle

I can take it off,& use it to fiddle...

about with the slot,& then very soon

will get the presents out

well.. just the balloon.(s )

　

　

 

 KER..CHING !
 

 

N = So thats what moonpig did

Ker..ching ( noise of machine working)

Out came a packet

of brightly coloured balloons

It didn't half make a racket

 

M = All we need now, is lots of 'hot' air

to fill the balloons

Any ideas, please do share ?

A = Iv'e got a trick,but don't look what I do

'cos It's not 'lady like',

and there's no room to view!

 

N = An hour did pass

with balloons filled at last

I = How did you do that ?

 

A = Don't ask ! Don't ask !

 

N = Then wih great expertize

from Imapig2's friends

The band of balloons

lifted up Imapig2's ends !

She floated away,with Elegance & Grace

& a big pink pig smile

appeared on her face.( <___> )

M = Watch out for the windmill,

it's blades are quite sharp

A = We don't want you dropping

in the pond with the carp !

Watch out for the blades
 

N = So Imapig2 steered the balloons out the way

I = How's that then...... is that O.K.?

N = Next came the farm yard

things looked quite small

the geese flew over

'honking' their call.

Honk ! Honk !
 

 

To the bright coloured balloons

they looked pretty near

Too close for comfort

Yes too close I fear.

Pop ! went a balloon as a goose beak's caught it

Pop ! went another,as another goose fought it

POP !......POP !
 

M = Look! piggys dropping right out of the sky

 

A = Those naughty geese should be in a pie

I = Help me please,I'm losing height

I can see the muckheap coming into sight

( Weeeeeee...Ker..Plop ! )

N = Her two little friends couldn't

get there in time

to save Imapig2 who was on the decline

So into the poo

went Imapig2

should be used to it by now

What ..say..you?..

A = Never mind,that was a very good try

 

M = Yes Imapig2..You..did..fly.

I = Next time will be better

you wait & see

Got plans already

believe you... me

　

Epilogue

N = STARTLED ! piggy woke up

to a prodding of trotters

It was her two friends

The two little rotters

M & A = What were you dreaming 'bout

tell us ..please do

were we in your dreams,

Are we famous too ?

I = Don't know what's the fuss about

let's go & play

tell you about it...

some other day

Let's Play

Farmopoly !

Farmopoly! "

What shall we do today ? " said Imapig2 to her two friends who had come to visit.

" Well we can't do much out-side, it's raining " replied APigCanFly, " we'd better do something inside......

( Thurp ! ).. A disconcerted noise was heard coming from Moonpig's direction. " Opps ! sorry " said Moonpig, " It's just that I'm not very good at finding ' things ' to do when it's raining out-side. "

" Never mind " APigCanFly "managed to say in a muffled voice....holding her snout....." Quick !. open the window , Imapig2 ...for a bit of ' fresh ' air . "

" O.K......eerk ! ( noise of window opening )..I've got a good idea " Imapig2 said, " I've bought this good board game called ' Farmopoly '...It's a bit like what the ' humans ' play, but......Pooh ! what's that smell? "

" Er....nothing at all...Let's give that game A- go " Moonpig replied quickly changing the subject. " I bags the tractor for my counter "

So the others choose their counters, and begin to play

This is fun
 

" Wait a minute...I'll go first as I'm the President " grunted Moonpig.

" I'll go second as I'm the Vice President " oinked APigCanFly

"S'pose that means I go last as I'm a 'No-body ' "...sniffed Imapig2.

" Now then .. don't be sad....and you ARE important to us " nudged APigCanFly to Moonpig..

" Oh , yes ! of course you are " agreed Moonpig , quickly giving APigCanFly a puzzled look ( ! @ ! )

" Can't you see , she's getting upset " whispered APigCanFly in Moonpig's ear." .... " Tell you what....you can be the ' Banker ' as well . That's an important job , isn't it ? " APigCanFly nudged back to Moonpig .

" Oh ! Yes ! yes!....it is Very Important to be The Banker Imapig2 , after all , you need to able to..er..." ( thinking how to finish , so as not to upset Imapig2 ) " COUNT ?!?! finished Moonpig

"That's right Moony , yes , you need someone good at arithmatic. " echoed APigCanFly .

" Well why didn't you say " said Imapig2 , cheering up.." Let's play the game ."

" Wonder what a - riff -ma -tik is ? " thought Imapig2 quietly to herself...

"Just remember, " added Moonpig , " that when I pass GO , I get twice as much money , 'coz I'm The President . "

" That's right , and I get one & a half times as much , because I'm The Vice President...o.k. " APigCanFly agreed........

Well.....an hour passed by and......

" Oh ! I don't want to ' play ' this game any more. " said a rather annoyed Moonpig . " I can't understand how You've managed to get So Much Money , Imapig2 "

" Neither can I " was the words of an exsasperated APigCanFly.

" But , I'm .....The BANKER......therefore I'm entitled to a HUGE BONUS everytime I go past GO , aren't I ? " oinked Imapig2 .

Moonpig & APigCanFly , looked at each other with disgusted looks >@< ( just like that ) .

" O-Oh! " Imapig2 guessed they weren't very pleased & continued... " Never mind , the sun has come out now..." and dashed out into the bright sunlight . " Better make myself scarce " she thought.

" IMA !!!! wait 'til I catch you ! " bellowed Moonpig .

" Oh ! don't be too hard on her , after all I did see you once or twice , with your trotters under the table " APigCanFly warned Moonpig .

" Who me ??? CHEAT ! " said Moonpig in a surprised , raised voice.

And they both ran out after Imapig2 who was quickly disappearing out of sight .

IMA !!!!!

The Kite

The Three Little Pigs ( Kite )

( Characters : M = Moonpig A = APigCanFly I = Imapig2 N = Narrator )

N = Imapig2 & her two little friends

sat in the middle where the river just bends

I = To tell you the truth I would still like to fly

can you please help me

get up in the sky ?

M = Thought you'd left all that behind you

A = You don't want a nasty outcome

again....do you ?

I = This is real,not just a dream

You gotta help, or I'll just S.C.R.E.A.M !

A = O.K. but be careful Imapig2

we don't want you ending up in ' the stew '

I = Don't worry 'bout me

I'm made of rubber

I bounce right back

just like a cow's udder

M = I think I've seen

just what you need

in the village window

just follow my lead

N = In the shop window

there was a K.I.T.E !

marked half price now

it was a sight

There it is - it's Beautiful

I = What a beautiful colour

lime green with pink spots

Just what I wanted

( Or was it big dots )

A = Have you got any money to buy the kite ?

I = Not at present...things are a little bit tight,

but don't worry I can sing

will do a little..er..'busking'

Soon pull in a crowd,with my blood curdling voice

They'll pay me to STOP,

they've really no choice

# Oh so - a me-oh !#

N = Within the next hour

they've got enough dough ( money )

to buy that kite

from the shop window

M = I know a place,where the wind's

always blowing

A = Lead the way then,that's the way we are goin'

N = So they found a spot

where believe it or not

the wind always blows

or so the saying goes

M & A = We'll strap you tight

to the kite ,

then run & pull you high

into the sky

N = Off they ran pulling the the string

with Imapig2 firmly fixed within

Into the breeze

up past the trees

soared Imapig2 with a knocking of knees

" SCREAM "

Then quite by chance..

all of a sudden ! the wind  stopped blowin'

( shock horror ! )

you know what's comin'

Down came the kite ( C.R.A.S.H ! )

into the tree

with Imapig2 hanging helplessly

For Imapig2 things looked real bad'

as branches broke,all around her..quite sad

She hung upside down ..not able to move

'cos she was strapped into that kite

unable to ...erm budge

M = Don't worry..don't panic ! stay right where you are

We'll run for some help, we haven't to go far

I = Be quick..don't linger

( Imapig2 said )

I can feel my blood

rushing straight to my head

" Help ! dial 999 "

N = Suddenly..C.R.A.C.K ! went the branches

where piggy was stuck in

with Imapig2 clutchin'..

on to the kite 'cos thats all she could do..

strapped onto the kite frame

now covered in bird poo

I = Arrgh ! it's going again

can feel it in my bones

Quick ! can't the two of you

dial 999 on your phones ?

M = Haven't got mine with me

A = Nor me ...it's broken you see

I = I'll give you 'sack'

N = C.R.A.S.H ! down fell Everything

With that things went B.L.A.C.K !

Guess where piggy ended up ?

After everthing said

yes you're right..

she fell out of bed !

Was it the supper she ate last night ?

which made her dreaming

'bout flying a kite

What ever the cause..

she was glad to be back

safe in the farmhouse

not flat on her back .

What Do You Think , as she learnt her lesson

I'll leave it with you, just to keep you a guessin'

How's Zat ! By Imapig2

Tsunami !

Imapig2 ' stories......

Tsunami !

" What a beautiful scene " said Imapig2 to her two piggy friends moonpig & APigCanFly -

sitting here , out in the fresh air ,on top of this hill,over looking a beautiful picture'sque landscape,with the village down there & all it's little houses & shops dotted about.Doesn't it make you Glad to be alive ?

It's So
 peaceful here

 

"Yes" replied APigCanFly " I like the seagulls flying overhead & the cry of them all. Makes you feel like you're at the sea-side ".
" Yup ! sure does " piped in Moonpig "That reminds me,did anyone bring the sandwiches ?"
" Trust you to think of your belly " APigCanFly muttered under her breath,.." I thought it was your turn to bring the food " she piped up.
" Opps ! S o z ! ....I clear forgot . Lets go down into the village down there ( he pointed with his trotters ) & buy some Chips to tide us over. "
" O.K. " agreed the other two , & up they got & ambled down into the village.
" Perhaps we could have a 'Boat Ride ' on the lake later on " said Ima, " It looks so peaceful "

For Loan

 

" Maybe - Let's get our dinner first & then we'll put it to the vote ". Have you got any money for your cone of chips ? " asked Moonpig to Imapig2. Imapig2 put her trotters in her pockets, shuffled them about a bit & then replied " Sorry I'm a little broke at the moment "
" Never mind " APigCanFly boasted " My rich uncle has sent me some pocket money over so I can buy us ALL some chips........No !.... I insist said APigCanFly,....Let it be MY TREAT to you both "
" Thats kind of you ( Er um...erhum ! Moonpig clears his throat ) was just gonna see how much I'd got on me " ( You can guess...can't you ? )
A little later all three were 'Diving ' in to their 'Cones of Chips ', sitting on the bank of the lake when Suddenly ! Ima cries " TSUNAMI ! "
" Yeah ! " sniggered Moonpig " We've heard that one before, haven't we APigCanFly ? "
" No I really MEAN IT - LOOK !!!
As the other two piggies turned around......S P L A S H ! A empty bucket was now in Ima's trotters

Arrgh !
 

" What's that for ? " Ima's two friends were soaked to the skin.....Then looking at Imapig2 quite sternly Moonpig & APigCanFly both agreed " You need a spanking for that Ima.. (.. or at least some of your own medicine ... " )
" Let's throw Ima into the Lake " suggested Moonpig ( winking at APigCanFly > @ ) 
" Oh No !!! I can't swim " cried out Imapig2.....& she started to run,squealing ...all the way home & shouting back to her two friends...." It was a joke.....Just a joke...
Moonpig & APigCanFly ran after Imapig2 & chased her...All The Way Home. Oink! Oink!

Wait 'til we Catch you !

The Three little pigs ( The Begining )

It could be a story, it could be a play

See what you think, please come this way

 

( characters : M = Moonpig, A = APigCanFly, I = Imapig2 )

 

The 1st little piggy flies a U.F.O.

The second little piggy can fly

I'm a pig too,cries the 3rd little piggy

Can you teach me to fly ?

A   =     Exercise is what you need

          to build your puny muscles

they look more like cockles than mussels

I = Well thanks for the advice

will go to the gym in a thrice

With diligent training

You'll soon be complaining

                                  my T shirts too big for my er...uhm! chest !

M = Star jumps will improve your chances.

 if you want to fly...that is

A = You'll have to do at least one fifty ( 150 )

if you want to be quite nifty ( clever )

I = Up,down,Up,down ( 150 times )

Puff puff, grunt grunt ( groan )

Star Jumping
 

 

Help me up ? ( says I with a sigh )

M & I = Sit down here for a while,

( both little pigs said with a smile )

I = O.K. I'm ready to fly ~~

I'll take a long run & jump & up will go I.

( Imapig2 ran faster & faster,took a leap in the air

'cos that's what you 'ave ter ( have to ) )

A = Start flappin' NOW !

WATCH OUT ! FOR THAT COW !

M = Too late my mate,you've lost your power

watch out for that mud ( as she lands with a THUD ! )

A = Look like she needs a shower, poor flower

I = ( groan ) Perhaps I'll leave it for today.

( Moonpig & ApigCanFly says O.K. )

M & A = All you need is a little more practice

( helping Imapig2 out of the mire )

I = I guess you're right, then I won't tire

So Imapig2 practised & practised,

practised & practised & practised & practised

but didn't improve much

Well what do you expect, save for a touch ( a little )

M = What you need is a little more help

to get you in the air,

Look a rubber band

round the post

over there !

You could use it to give you a boost, don't you know ?

Get in between the post & the band, just so..

Position yourself at a 45 degree angle

then walk back slowly, don't get in a tangle..

I = I know, I know.

Here I Goooooo
 

 

( p I n G ! ) went the band & shot Imapig2 into the air

I = This is great, but what happens when

the power is gone. What happens then ?

M = Start flappin' like mad

with all that you've got

A = All that practise...forget you not

Start flappin' NOW !

WATCH OUT FOR THAT HEN !

M = You've done it again

( Weeeeee! Thud ! Splodge ! )

Yer silly old ' sod' ( piece of earth )

This time you've landed yourself in it ( muck pile )

It's on your totter's,from here I can smell it.

 

I = Back to the drawing board for me.

See you tomorrow, 'bout 1/2 past three.

They met as arranged...well closer to Three ( o' clock )

and chose a good spot,well perhaps quite Not !

'Twas the top of a ravine, a bottomless pit

where the three little piggies got ready to sit ( 'cept Imapig2 )

M = There's plenty of room to fall...then fly~~

so over the edge, spread your legs & fly~~

I = Well it's now or never,

whatever, whatever,

to prove I can fly, like you two, you're clever.

Up, up & away I go ...

Here I go GERONIMOoooo !

1,2,3,.....JUMP !

( over the edge leaped Imapig2

& started to flap, that's what you do )

Yes over the edge went Imapig2 a flapping

believe you me, 'twas a sight worth watching.

But...Down went poor piggy, right out of their sight.

Her two little friends gazed, dumbstruck with fright !

They sat on the edge, not saying a word,

Then, All Of A Sudden !...a little voice they heard

I = ( # Singing )

All by myself.....don't wanna be ~

All by myself.....for Eternity !

( Yes out of the blue came a flapping of W.I.N.G.S

as Imapig2 appeared, sporting a New Set Of Wings

And a bright, gold ring .bove her head, & between her ears, )

Moonpig & APigCanFly burst into tears.

Look ! I'm Flying !
 

I = Look I'm flying...don't worry 'bout me,

I've got my wings now...can you SEE ?

M & A = We didn't mean it to end this way !

Oh Imapig2 we're sorry to say.....

Yes you can fly & you can sing 

( sort of )

but our dear little piggy.

you're DEAD ! poor thing.

( What a horrible shock for Imapig2,

she never realized she was dead...she hadn't a clue. )

I = I thought I could fly

I didn't think about T.h.a.t !

Oh ! I feel quite faint.

( with that things went B.L.A.C.K. )

Bells were ringing inside her head

She woke up with a start !

And fell out of bed

OUCH !
 

She was sweating all over,

( and pigs don't sweat )

I = Am I alive..or am I dead ?

Will have to pinch me

just to see

( Ouch ! oochie ouch ! )

Must have been dreaming,

Well a 'NIGHT-PIGMARE' in fact

too much green clover

Phew ! I'm glad that's all over

Must have been the supper I ate,

Won't do that again in a hurry

Don't want to tempt fate.

 INTRODUCTION TO : Rhymeandreason by Imapig2
First let me explain.....................
It all began when I became friends with two other pigs , playing on their farms where all the farmers just happened to be 'Pigs '. That's it, you heard me right PIGS ! I became friends ( as it seems ) with a little green pig named Moonpig. all the way from planet Zork ! ( don't ask , that's all you need to know. 'cept this little green pig had apparently been abandoned on Earth along with his U.F.O.)
We became good friends working on our farms , and a little while later I was introduced to another pig with ' flying connotations '. She was much bigger than Moonpig , " Chunky " I would say , with two little wings sticking out from her shoulder , blades hence her name APigCanFly . She took me under her wings ( so to speak ) and she became my " mama "
But what about me ! with my two best friends able to fly.....I felt a little left out. And what name were they to give me ? Hey ! I might be little but I'm a pig too ! I'm a pig too ! So that's what my name became Imapig2 .
But even that wasn't able to satisfy my need to be like my two 'bestest' friends . I felt the need to fly too ! So with that in mind , my stories & poems began.....
