Practice Reading, Pigs DO Fly!

One late night I went to bed 

a weird thought was in my head.

 What if, pigs all fat and pork

Could do more than simply walk?

What if all pigs had a gift

That they could easily lift 

Their whole body off the ground 

And fly, endlessly, all around?

What if the food I buy

Could actually, really fly!

But my brain kicked in, “No way!

Pigs flying, no, not today!”

Little did I know that night,

Though my brain thought it was right,

That I would be proven wrong

When the sun rose and daylight shone

Outside my window I saw . . .

A flying pig! I was in awe!

It was a miracle, in the sky,

 gliding low, soaring high!

Almighty and all-pink.

As it left it gave me a wink.

So, whether you’re young or old,

Shy or bold,

Don’t forget and don’t be sly,

PIGS DO FLY!

So, tonight I will go to bed after the sun has shined

But wait! That’s put a thought in my mind.

What if Cows, all black and white 

Had gotten the power of the flight?

THE END!
