The Celestial Pig

In Conference we learned then and now
To love and honour the celestial cow.
The guinea pig is not so fine,
When life get tough it starts to whine.
The terestrial sheep is a silly thing
Who laughs and jokes at everything.
The humble hen lays eggs for us
Without a lot of stress and fuss,
But then it's simply just an egg
And does not cost an arm or leg.
But if great honour is to be given
The pig should have a place in heaven.
If for your breakfast you want bacon
He must run, though his legs are achin'.
So as you ponder, it must appal,
That for your pleasure he gives his all.
So for the cow I care not a fig.
My vote goes to the Celestial Pig!
