Please don’t kill me

And there was this moment when the pig looked up to his master pleading,

“ O don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me!

“O why O why have you forsaken me?!”,

And with these words, the master killed the pig out right.

There upon the pig said with glee.

“Who said pigs don’t fly.”
