Dangerous Digging!
-
NB: I had no idea that Lord Pig Pig-a-lot had a brother called Lord Pig Dig-a-lot till I started writing this, He doesn’t have a large kingdom like his brother, but they are still good friends… He prefers the quiet life… but because he loves digging so much he sometimes gets into trouble… His best friend is a mole, not sure on his name.
Dangerous Digging!
I am a pig!
My name is Lord Pig Dig-a-lot
And I very, very much
Love to Dig a lot!Unlike my brother
Lord Pig Pig-a-lot
Who really, really
Loves to eat a lot!I can dig tunnels
I can dig holes
I can dig for treasure
I can dig really good!I can dig in dirt
I can dig in sand
I can dig in snow
I can, I can!But just cause I can
Doesn’t mean I should!
and today…
I found out why I shouldn’t!I was digging
Digging away,
In the corner of my garden,
My favorite place!But I was not watching!
Looking around
I just kept digging
So deep into the ground!I dug so deep,
I had made a large hole!
And it didn’t take long…
For a tunnel to form!And then without meaning to
I was somewhere I shouldn’t have been!
Somewhere dangerous
For a digging pig like me!For I had dug a tunnel
So far! So long!
I had ended up…
So far from my home!I had dug my tunnel,
Right into a barn
And quickly realized
I was on Mr Bakers farm!A dangerous place
For Mr Baker doesn’t like pigs,
And I was where he kept
All his tasty thingsI quickly panicked
For I heard his voice
Shouting! Yelling!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BARN!I ran, I ran
As fast as I could
Back through the tunnel!
To my home so warm!But not before taking
A few small things
Some tasty treats
That my brother loves to eat!When I reached my home
I filled my tunnel
And very soon
It became a hole once more!I was glad to be safe
Away from that place
I was glad to be home
And no longer afraid!My brother however,
Thought I had done great
Probably because
He was busy eating the tasties!“Dig back there again!
He said quite excited
But I said “no!”
I won’t put myself in danger!It was a great Idea I did!
Cause the very next day,
My good friend Duggy the mole told me…
There were traps all around the place!So I learned my lesson
Not to dig cause I can
I should pay more attention
So I don’t get myself into danger!…
And also don’t do things
That others say to do
Because you could end up hurt
If you don’t think out things carefully!Dangerous Digging!

Oh wow Matty…. another gem from you.
keep it up !
You just must do a book of all your writings Matty…. soon please ?

P.S –
Pleased you recalled the name of Mole – Duggy before the ending.
Yes, an appropriate name for him too.
I read this to my 7 year old son, he though it was a bit crazy, a lot silly and pretty funny too (In 7 year old terms that means its pretty cool)
I liked it, it was easy to read and the storyline was simple, with a good lesson at the end!
Well done 🙂
Lord Pig Digalot is quite the digging pig! I have some tree stumps I’d like him to dig up, if he has the time 🙂
Hmmm I will see what I can do, just for you oh great Queen Helen of Fort Goat!
