Can any-one help?

Can any-one help me find a poem that begins with the 2 lines,

"Percival Lancelot Thomas De Vere,
A pedigree pig, was conceited, I fear."

It was written circa 1900, maybe by A.A.Milne or Lewis Carroll but I'm having real trouble finding it.

Can any-one help?

I tried googling it and came across this page...

Porcine Poetry

Holy crap. This thing gives Taxi Trix a run for his money.

Thanks Jim, great stuff and I'm going to link that site to the FP site.

I have also searched lots of sites and not found the poem, seems like it might be a traditional Eng. nursery rhyme possibly about Robert De Vere, the 9th Earl of Oxford who was killed by a wild boar whilst hunting some-time in the 15th century. I still hoping to find it tho.

On the subject of sites about the Porcine Pilot this one really blows me out http://www.flying-pigs.co.nz/

We will be working with this site a bit, I think.
