Muddles McFuddles – The Pig Who Didn’t Like Mud (A Children’s Poem)

Muddles McFuddles
The very stripey pig
Had lost his love of mud
His piggy family thought him strange
And rolling round and squealing loudly
They fell down with a thud

Muddles McFuddles
The very stripey pig
Grew very much alarmed
Because mud, it sprayed around
Splattered and flew right past his eyes
But Muddles, he was armed

Muddles McFuddles
The very stripey pig
Well, he grabbed the tape’s rim
Tore it right off his back
The tape placed there in so many rows
So his dear Mother Pig could find him

Muddles McFuddles
The no longer stripey pig
Could have looked like any other
But he held the tape high and caught the mud
No longer stripey; but squeaky clean
So different from his chocolate sister and brother
– Here I am Mumma!
