[net.poems] two nonsense poems/puns

The NEW YORK magazine once ran a competitions where the people were asked
to write a poem witht the starting line being "No pig Should Go Sky Diving
During Monsoon"  I particularly enjoyed two entries that I shall share
with you.

No pig should go sky diving during monsoon
For this isn't really the norm.
But should a fat swine try to soar like a loon,
So what?  Any pork in a storm.
	(Herb Sargent, of Saturday Night Live fame)

No pig should go sky diving during monsoon,
It's risky enough when the weather is fine.
But to have a pig soar when the monsoon doth roar
Cast even more perils before swine.
	(Charlotte Curtis, never heard of her)

				The above obviously written with pig pens,
				SORRY!

Did those "pig" pens have the proper sty-lus?  And what color was the oink?
