Ernie Heavens’ Pig

There was a vacancy in heaven
that God just had to fill
keeping the angels company
not just anyone would fill the bill.

God looked all through heaven
and he could not find
a suitable companion
with a face sweet and kind.

When all the possibilities were exhausted
God turned His face toward earth
His eyes fell upon Ernie
with his pug face and his girth.

Then God spoke to Ernie
in a sweet and loving way
and asked him to please come home
to heaven this very day.

God said, "you’re my creation
and I need to call you back home,
for we have a need in heaven
no one can fill but you alone".

The angels gently ushered
Ernie into their midst
t where he now helps the angels
their missions to assist.

Surprise!

I woke up this morning to a very big surprise,
Walked into the kitchen and right before my eyes;
A messy sight I did behold, for all over the floor,
A cantaloupe was splattered about, its seeds and juice and more!

And standing in the midst of this was my beloved pig,
Slurping seeds and chomping rind with eyes so wide and big;
She didn’t even stop a bit to see I had come in,
If it had been a race, I know, that for sure she’d win.

I asked her what had happened here and how did this come about?
I thought the melon was put up away from her probing snout,
My eyes fell on the empty bag laying on the floor,
Beside it laid another melon, should my pig want more!

I quickly snatched that melon up as I said, "No You Don’t",
As she look at me with happy eyes I said, "Now you will bloat"!
As I was cleaning up the mess and wiping sticky hooves,
My piggy said, "I’ll help clean up the seeds and all the ooze.

This kind of help I do not need, awe but what the heck,
She is my pig and I love her, I’ll just hug her neck;
And then she tossed her head about and then said this to me, "
Just kiss my snout, I am your pig, and you gotta love me"!
