My Pig Won’t Let Me Watch TV
A Funny Pig Poem for Kids
From the book The Armpit of Doom
My pig won’t let me watch TV.
It’s totally unfair.
He watches anything he wants
but doesn’t ever share.
I never get to watch cartoons
or anything like that.
He’s busy watching farming shows.
I should have got a cat.
I should have got a goldfish
or a guinea pig or goat.
Instead, I’ve got this pig
who’s always hogging the remote.
