Wilma's piglets in a pile.
Wilma's piglets in a pile.

Wilma:

Five pigs are at the Patch, except when there are lots of piglets running ‘round.

The Feeders at the Patch take care of us, and the pigs at the Patch take care of the Feeders.

There are fences at the Patch, and the Feeders think they make the rules.

But pigs know what we want.

When our food is slow, we bellow at the Feeders and hustle them along.

When we are separated from each other, we break through fences and make a big pig pile.

The Feeders’ rules and the Feeders’ fences – they don’t bother us.

 

Mona:

Few needs and few wants.

Food. Scratching. Sleep. Together.

Not negotiable.
