The Great Matter
of Processing Hogs at the County Jail
The poets have been mysteriously silent on the topic
of hogs
-as G. K. Chesterton did not say
Our candidates for county sheriff have promised
There will be no more hanky-panky hog-ness
At the county jail
(Where
Elvis says the cats do wail)
Maybe the prisoners are going vegan now
The chief deputy says the hogs are a charity
That the prisoners are happy to butcher them
And share the meat out for the hungry poor
And nobody gets any personal advantage out of it
But whether the prisoners were volunteers or tasked
Certainly none of the hogs was ever asked
