Franky Swine

Franky swine is a mixed up pig.
He’s got a claw for a hand and one eye is too big.

Stitched and sewn, and incomplete,
He has two different hearts and zebra’s feet.

He was created by a scientist, who is quite mad,
And never loved Franky, never a dad.

So one fateful day he ran off on his own,
To fend for himself, scared and alone.

He feels like a monster, a pig no more,
Wherever he goes, people run out the door.

But then one day he met a small girl
Who said, “Hi Mister, my name is Pearl. “

She told Franky that she is very ill,
And doctors can’t cure her, at least not with a pill.

She needs a new heart, for hers is no good,
And Franky wanted to help, to do all he could.

So he offered a heart to the young girl in need,
And saved her life, saved it indeed.

Her mom was so happy she made Franky her son,
And he finally had family, and they didn’t even run….

Except for the cat.
