It shouldn’t faze you
That the wild boar lives in Europe, Africa and parts of Asiu.
It roams both far and wide
And, harbors thoughts of homicide.
(I think it is irresponsible to let a pig
grow that big)
Whereas other animals use their musk
the wild boar gives you a poke with its tusk
And, don’t think you won’t mind it
because there’s seven hundred pounds of hog behind it.
This is why I prefer my pork
at the end of a fork.
Potatoes and the Promise of More Potatoes 
I think the environment fighters and vegans won’t like the ending…

My son’s a vegetarian, so I’m used to that kind of conflict…

… and who wins? or is it still like with the bath?

Now that he’s an adult, he wins a lot less. I guess because he doesn’t have the free time. But, he definitely gets vegetarian options on Thanksgiving and Christmas because I’m not a monster…

Very enjoyable poem. I don’t generally eat pork, but if I am to see a pig, that is where I want to see him too.

It was nice to read this after reading what I think was one of the dumbest posts I have ever read. Yours was a step up 🙂
When I think of wild boars I immediately think of Asterix and Obelix.

Hopefully, on November 3, we’ll be sticking a fork in the wild bore in the White House.
