As he wearily climbed into bed
“I wish I lived in England” the little pig said.
“Christmas there is white with snow,
In cold clear sky as the bright stars glow.

While here it is always too sunny
And so hot it is not funny.
Their dinner is roast turkey and hams —
Their dinner is NZ lamb.”

“In England for Christmas they
DON’T EAT HAM!!”
