My Piggy Bank (Saving IP)

I tried to break my piggy bank
for all the coins inside
but then I saw it oink, "No thanks"
and run away to hide.

It hid away but I could hear
my shillings, pence and pounds
for every time it shook with fear
they made a rattling sound.

I finally found it underneath
a pillow on my bed.
"I've got you now you piggy thief.
Come out at once", I said.

But then I saw the porcine tears
pour from its porcelain eyes
and after that I could not bear
to smash that little guy.

Instead, a very bright idea
came to me in a flash
how I could both, that piggy, spare
and get back all my cash.

Now he is a big busking star.
Folks pay to hear our songs
'cause when I play on my guitar
piggy rattles along.

Love it. My piggy bank keeps crying too, but I think that's from starvation.

porcine and porcelain in the same sentence must be a first. Glad it has a happy ending
