PETER PORKIN
All the birds of the air went a-screechin’ and a-squawkir’ ' When they heard of the crimes of Peterkin Porkin. For he stole a nest and he stole an egg So they tore off his coat and hung it on a peg. They pecked at his toes, They clawed at his ears, They settled on his nose, And laughed at his tears, They pulled him out, and they pushed him in, And they made Peter Porkin very sorry for his sin.
