Three twenty-first century piggies

\nThree little piggies are off on their own
\nJust got some cash and a mobile phone
\nNone of the pigs knows what to do
\nBut TV shows gave them a clue<\/p>\n
First little pig doesn’t want to wait
\nAn instant house would be just great
\nGet it built in quite a whirl
\nSo there’s more time to find a girl!<\/p>\n
On the web he finds a site
\nPromises a new house overnight
\nPays by card and quick as a flash
\nA flat packed home for not much cash!<\/p>\n
He fits slot A into cross member B
\nPuts screw C into screw hole D
\nAll the way from A to Z
\nHe did just what the paper said<\/p>\n
In three short hours his house is there
\nDown the pub with time to spare
\nWhen he comes home, a wolf is waiting
\nIt’s little pig’s house he’s contemplating!<\/p>\n
He knocks at the door to talk of “god”
\nPiggy spots there’s something odd
\nIt’s something of a golden rule
\nJehovah’s Witnesses seldom drool!<\/p>\n
Though he slams the flat-packed door
\nOf being safe he isn’t sure
\nHe’s gonna need his money back
\nJust two puffs and “House flat-pack”!<\/p>\n
Piggy two says “I’m no fool”
\nBuys a house from a friend from school
\nThe cost is low, he’s saving loads
\nWants a car to “rip up roads”<\/p>\n
The house needs fixing in and out
\nThe walls aren’t really all that stout
\nHe thinks it will suit him for a time
\nThe mortgage he got was called “sub-prime”<\/p>\n
Brand new car is parked outside
\nTook a sow out for a ride
\nHome for coffee, not too late
\nAnother wolf is there in wait!<\/p>\n
Piggies in and front door slammed
\nBut sad to say the windows jammed
\nWhen the wolf whips up a blow
\nSomething major’s got to go!<\/p>\n
First two piggies running fast
\nSee their brother’s home at last
\nDoesn’t seem to be that rough
\nCould be that the future’s tough<\/p>\n
But this third piggy has a happy grin
\nWelcomes both his brothers in
\nIf there’s a wolf he knows what to do
\nThe Cafe next door sells “Korean Dog Stew!!!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
