Brotherly Lovely Survival
Growing up it was tough
Lost my mother at the age of 3.
Had to find a way to survive,
I had my 2 brothers by my side with me.
Life was getting
We had no place to go.
So I bought a few pounds of
To make a house; not for show.
Used the last few cents that I had,
To build us the humble shelter.
Just something to keep the danger away,
From emotional and physical bad weather.
Then one day out of nowhere
To disturb me and my brother's of peace,
Came the hungry, linky wolf
With teeth dripping like grease.
"Let me in you pigs!", He said
Rubbing together his paws.
"Not as long as we're together!",
Said the youngest brother without pause.
Surely enough the wolf tore at the house
Slowly brick by brick.
But what he did not notice
Was that the second layer was made of nails and stick.
As he furiously went about
Tearing at the house with an incredible sound,
The wolf was surprised to feel
The brothers pushing the house down.
As bricks, nails, and sticks
Pierced and suffocated the wolfs body,
It was known by all three little pig brothers
That together they can be stopped by nobody!
