Pigs Might Fly

[nick nickolas]

There was a pig called Lurk

Who's flying was beserk

Up and down, fast and slow

He couldn't control where to go

And ended his days in Falkirk

Taxi pig flys through the air

On you get and pay the fare

Tell him where you wanna go

Italy, France or even Mexico

Taxi cares, he'll even cut your hair

[nick nickolas]

Do pigs fly only in our dreams

Or is nothing as it seems

I see them flying in formation

Or is that just my imagination ?

I see pigs aloft in Levi Jeans

[nick nickolas]

There was a pig called Pete

Who could fly by wiggling his feet

He did this with no bother

And always managed to hover

Above all the people on the street

[nick nickolas]

Fly, Fly Piggy in the sky

Fly, Fly Piggy oh so high

Go Piggy above the cloud

Where the silence is so loud

Freedom you realise is above the sty

I've got myself a flying pig

They told me to wear it as a wig

All the people now look at me

As I wear the pig for all to see

The only problem is, he's too big!

I met a pig with golden wing

I broke it off, it went ping

Down to the pawn shop I strolled

Got cash for those feathers of gold

Got cash for a wing, what a funny thing

We did the launch thing tonight, sponsors and artists and stuff.
During my speechy bit, I read several of the poems that have been put up here and people laughed (somewhat of a novelty for me). We also got 3 new sponsors. (It was so cool having contributions from other parts of the world)

I really can't thank you enough but pls keep them coming anyway.

A pig will fly on wings bright pink,
A cow may jump over the moon,
But they'd better wear diapers, I do think,
Or we'll be buried soon.

There was a fat pig lived in Oz,
Who wanted two wings made of gauze.
Said he "They'll look great,
But they won't take my weight,
So flying will be a lost cause.

There was a good pig name of Nick
he trafficked in mischief and trick
with a wink of his eye,
he would quit ground and fly,
You'de look and say "aint that a kick".

- Jesus, I gotta get outta here.

In Between


In between a rock and a river sweet love
there's a universe most never see

because in between absolute ground and sheer space
pigs are flying for you and for me.

[Mr.Taxi Trix]

"I wanna buy a flying pig"
said Stanley the businessman coach,
"who will drive away ennui and bring back my wonder and fry me my eggs, nicely poached."

But flying pigs have a peculiar composure and rather a sensitive way. None of them could withstand earthbound muggle-type living, the farmer sent Stanley away.

Higgeldy piggeldy
Angel pigs
Driving clouds and sunbeams,
eating figs and bad dreams.

I lie outside this sunbright day
and watch the pigs soar above the ridge away
and envy them their freedom.
listen to the brook trip-gurgle
(rolling into something Bigger) moving.
feel the sun
warm soothing
full upon my bald face
(the wind plays so
recklessly with grace)
And nature ('s bounty) flows past
past me
where I cannot catch it.
From inside my prison skin
I sup
(starving)
dreams that have yet to be met
but those pigs who have those wings to fly
beyond that ridge
(that sky of hawks)
or even
trip down streams that talk
to hear us moving dreams.
And so
I lie outside
this sunbright day
and maybe pray for rain tomorrow.
