Piggy Bank

My piggy bank gets fed, At least once a week. I do what my Momma said. I push the coins in the top of his head. Momma said, " You should feed your piggy every day! So, you won't have to work and can play!" I think she doesn't see, What candy means to me! No fat piggy for me. Just a few coins to put away. So, when I get old, I can play all day!

LOL! The feel of an interaction between a child and parent. The mom presents the best way, the child wants candy (don’t they?!) The “no fat piggy,” is hysterical because it represents what could be a huge savings but also what one becomes with too much candy. Great first two lines! The child doesn’t realize, yet, what it takes to become a productive adult. A fave!
