Last in Line

Owen was always last in line
He was the clumsiest of all
And he was defiantly the smallest.

Owen was the kink in the chain
Out of all of the pigs he was the runt
He was never able to be the best.

At whatever they did he was the worst
When they ate he got the least
And when they slept he got the ground.

The one night something was wrong
Being the curious piglet he was
Owen went to investigate.

He spotted a man breaking into the farm house
Owen squealed as loud as he could
And when he did he was a blow horn.

The animals all woke up
And chased the man away
With Owen leading the way.

  1. I like this piece of writing because it shows that even creatures that have not been the best can still have their moments to shine. I also liked how the pigs seemed to have characteristics of humans but without actually having characteristics.
