THE YEAR OF THE PIG
I’m a Pig! I’m a Pig! I am patient and kind
I’m not the smartest but I don’t mind.
I’m trustworthy, indulgent, with a big sense of humour
If they say I’m lazy, it’s only a rumour.
Pigs born at morning are moody but reckless
They leap before looking, sometimes they’re feckless.
Pigs born in the noon, now they fight with heart
As long as they’re helped a bit at the start.
Pigs born at night, they’re full of fight
They alone know how to do everything right.
But these traits can be varied according to age
They’re only true at a certain stage.
Boy Pigs for instance are low-key and trusting
Easily fooled, they may just take a dusting.
Girl pigs are gentle and mostly seek peace
They’re given to kindness and not to caprice.
Luck and good fortune may bless the Pig
With honest sincerity showing up big
Understanding and giving, never spiteful or mean
The Pig is a really fine Human Bein’!
