The Last Hog OF Autumn.

IT'S the last hog of Autumn.
Left squealing alon.
All his grunting companions
Are butchered and gone
No pig of his kindred,
No porker is nigh
To help empty the swill-trough.
Or share in his sty.
Id not leave thee, thor lone one.
To starve in the pen.
Since thy males are al pork now,
Die shalt thou with Them.
Then thus do offer
The knife to thy thrsat.
And thou shalt be pics led
Like every dead sho.i.
And may be present
When thou art the txast,
For ham, souse or saueages
Who would not eaty
When people are hcn~fn
And beef can't be hshb;j
For calming the apps.
Pork is not bad.
