Analysis and comments on The Pig by Christopher Smart

Comment 1 of 1, added on June 29th, 2007 at 9:33 AM.

A delightful piggy poem...my father used to recite one that went like this: My dear beloved brother
And is it not a sin,
To eat the potato,
And to throw away the skin?
For the skin feeds the piggy,
And the piggy feeds you.
My dear beloved brother,
Is that not true?
