A long-tailed pig,

HNR 671

A long-tailed pig,
Or a short-tailed pig,
Or a pig without any tail;
A sow pig,
Or a boar pig,
Or a pig with a curly tail.
Take hold of the tail
And eat off his head,
And then you'll be sure
The pig-hog is dead.*

* i.e. pigs of pastry with their middles filled with currants, sold by vendors.
