Pig was a pug and I'm sorry to say, 
he was greedy and selfish in most every way.]]
He lived in a house with a wiener dog, Trevor. 
But when was he nice to him? I'll tell you Never.
"You've got some great toys there," poor Trevor would say.]]
But Pig would just grumble, "They're mine! Go Away!"]]
"But it might be more fun," Trevor said to Pig,
"If we both played together."]]
Well, Pig flipped his wig.]]
"No, they are mine! Didn't you hear. Only Mine!
You keep your paws off them, they are mine, mine, mine.]]
I know what your game is, you want me to share!
But I'll never do that. I Won't and I swear!"]]

And they both play together ]] 
While Pig's on the mend.]]
