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"
