Pig In A Blanket
Dreaming Big

I’m getting more porky when lying in bed
I even gain weight when I sleep
So why am I gaining, not losing instead
Thank goodness I’m not counting sheep
I wake up each morning and turn on the lights
The blanket is stuck to my face
My pillow is missing a couple of bites
There’s syrup all over the place
Who can relate to the point that I’m makin
That slumber is making me fat
My problem is simply, I can’t resist bacon
What diet will counteract that
The room reeks of pancakes, or so it would seem
I’m dreaming all night about food
I’m even a porker asleep it would seem
A pig-the-blanket type dude
There’s a “river of life” with a syrupy flow
And the air had a maple-like smell
This may just be heaven, I really don’t know
It’s too pleasant for it to be hell
About the Creator
Earl W. Pearl
I’ve been writing poetry (rhyming mostly) since about 2014 and have recently transitioned to writing novels and short stories. My poetry genres are faith, humor, social issues, politics, pretty much any subject matter.
