I've never thought about rhyming the hog slop story. But you may have something there. Maybe it could be the "sloppy kid" side of "Preston The Perfect Pig"....<br /><br />I would definitely recommend giving rhyme a go, if nothing else than for the mental exercise---you never know where it might lead.billkirkwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13527642718868234828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363676184114538880.post-13726582296531183502010-06-01T11:56:27.312-04:002010-06-01T11:56:27.312-04:00Bill
