The True Story of the 3 Pigs

Once upon a time, there lived 3 bad pigs

Who caused trouble in the town they lived in

 

They were thieves, taking what they wanted

Leaving the people scared and the town haunted

 

They were scammers, always looking for their next target

These bad piggies would even scam in front of the market

 

The 3 bad pigs lived in 3 different houses

And they all had more than 3 different spouses

 

The youngest pig, had a house made of straw

It was the best house the town's people ever saw

 

The middle pig, had a house made of sticks

Most of it, if not all, needed to be fixed

 

The oldest pig, had a house made of bricks

It was safer than his brothers’ straw and sticks  

 

The 3 pigs ruled over the town’s people, it was very sad

The 3 pigs crushed any dreams the town’s people ever had

But there came a day

When the people became tired of the oppression

They planed for something new, something refreshin’

 

The plan was to tell stories of the 3 pigs bad lives

In hopes the stories would reach someone on the outside

------                                                        ------

There onced lived a big old wolf

He was nice and sweet, he was a very good wolf

 

He had pretty good ears even though he was very old

He lived outside the town, and heard of the stories told

 

The big old wolf wanted to see if the stories were true

The big old wolf went into town to see what he could do

 

The wolf found the 3 pigs homes, and found them to be nice

But inside, the homes were quieter than 10 little mice

 

The big old wolf knocked 3 times

And asked  “Hey, is there anyone inside?”

 

He looked all around, but there wasn’t a soul in sight

He started to worry, something wasn’t right

 

Then out of nowhere the 3 pigs appeared

And asked the wolf “what you doing here?”

The Wolf proclaimed “bringing this nonsense to an end”

The 3 pigs said “not by the hairs of our chiny chiny chin”

 

After this the wolf huff and puff and ate their souls

This is the truth, so the story is told

But the truth is the 3 pigs are the ones who ate the wolf’s soul

 

The pigs rewrote the story and placed themselves as the victims

Because after all they were the ones in charge of the systems

 

The End
