Root on! root on! ye sportiv little pigs! Ah! cood ye uv the fucher hev a site, Yoor little tails wood not kurl up so tite, But droop despondin down yoor hinder legs. Yoo live o'erwell—uv food yoo hev no lack; But 'tis not luv that gives yoo daily swill— 'T is not the promptins uv a gen'rus will— Yoor karkasis must pay the trubble back; Yoo 'll all kum 2 it when yoor sumwhat fatter, Stuck, dressed, and served up, roasted on a platter. As shoor ez fate the unfeelin butcher's steel Will cut yoor windpipe, spite uv kick or squeal. [Here cums in the moral, wich wuz segested by my borrerin munny wunst at ten per cent., givin a mortgage on a farm, and renooin till the farm wuz eaten up.] Yoo 'll tred the path so old and so well beaten, Fed first by man, and then by mankind eaten!
