There's a Pig on My Salad

December 18, 2008

There's a pig on my salad,
His name is Moby Dick.
The pig just ate my lettuce,
My carrot and my celery stick.
I called the waiter for service,
And told him all about it.
He said I should not worry,
He'll go back and fix it.
He took it away,
And if I am not mistaken,
When the waiter brought it back,
In front of me: a plate of bacon!

The author's comments:
I wrote this piece several years ago, when I was about in 4th or 5th grade. I don't remember how I got the idea. Over the years, it has been edited several times, and it has improved over time. It started out much shorter, but the idea of a pig named Moby Dick eating the veggies off my salad and returning as a plate of bacon has always been there. It has become my favorite poem that I have written.
