SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 42 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: IF A PIG WORE A WIG
Last Line: TO GET ONE NEW.

IF a pig wore a wig,
What could we say?
Treat him as a gentleman,
And say 'Good-day.'

If his tail chanced to fail,
What could we do? --
Send him to the tailoress
To get one new.
