Pig'Twas the ending of the war! A little boy with joyous heart Slipped softly out the door. They found him on the barnyard fence Just talking to a pig. The bright boy thought his heart would burst It had swelled so big. And he shouted to his curl-tailed friend (He thought they were alone) "Pig! Pig! the war is over! My daddy's coming home!" |
