The buzzard and the pig

The buzzard said to the pig “shall I build a sty in the sky?”

The pig heard not a word as the buzzard flew by.

So the buzzard took the pig to the top of a mountain high

and there he said to the pig “did you know pigs can fly?”

so as the pig took a step to his cloudy sty

he plummeted off the cliff and on the rocks below did die

And with his invention of this little lie,

the buzzard got a delicious shoofly* pie.

Author's Note

*A north American molasses and crumb top pie. The name plays off of shooing away flies
