Little piggy rhymes
Social media post reveals the unsettling truth about the first little piggy – Chicago Tribune
It had been many years since I’d thought of the five little piggies, protagonists of the first nursery rhyme I told my kids, the first nursery rhyme I heard and probably the first nursery rhyme my parents heard.
My children are young adults now, but back before they could walk, my wife and I would take their little bare feet in our hands as they lay in their cribs, wiggle each toe in succession starting with the big toe and … say it with me:

“This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home, this little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none and this little piggy …” the pinkie toe, voice rising to falsetto, “… cried wee wee wee all the way home.”
Tickles. Giggles. Repeat.

It always struck me as a little weird that a pig would be eating roast beef. Is there no solidarity in the barnyard? But pigs are, in fact, omnivores. In 2012, according to news reports, they ate a 69-year-old farmer in Oregon after he fell in their pen.
Then the other day I was browsing my Twitter feed when I saw a posting from @AngelicGirlxD that changed everything: “I’m 22 years old,” she wrote Aug. 20, “and I just realized that ‘This little piggy went to … market’ doesn’t mean he went food shopping.”
Ye gods. Of course! All these years I’d had in my mind’s eye the image of a pig standing on two feet, a hat on its head and a basket under its “arm,” waddling off to the grocery store to purchase edibles: apples. Carrots. Grain. Farmer-flavored biscuits.
But no. Obviously, no. I’m 60 years old, and I just realized that the fattest little piggy — the big toe — was being sold into slaughter. It went to the market, sure, but it never came back.
Many of the best-loved nursery rhymes have dark elements. Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater “couldn’t keep” his wife so he “put her in a pumpkin shell, and there he kept her very well” in domestic servitude and bondage.
 
Georgie Porgie “kissed the girls and made them cry,” making him the central villain in numerous #MeToo stories.
“Goosey Goosey Gander” takes a grim turn and becomes fodder for a PBS documentary about elder abuse and religious violence when the narrator meets “an old man who wouldn’t say his prayers” and accordingly takes “him by the left leg” and throws him “down the stairs.”
And for potentially life-threatening injuries, you can’t beat the hapless infant’s plunge from the treetop at the end of “Rock-a-Bye Baby.”

In contrast, the piggies from the rhyme that dates back several hundred years, always seemed like a merry lot. Sure, one stayed home, and one, for some reason, did not eat roast beef. But the wee-wee-wee was a squeal of porcine delight at the prospect of returning to the sty, right?
Yet the fate of the biggest oinker was always there in plain sight. It didn’t go to market, it was taken to be marketed. It had no agency.
 It was a product, not a customer.
Wee-wee-wee becomes the fearful yet ultimately fruitless cry of a creature that realizes it, too, was born to be sold and eaten.
This may be why some more sensitive souls have posted revisions that avoid the uncomfortable topic of butchery: “This little piggy ate blueberries/ This little piggy ate cheese ...” for example.
@AngelicGirlxD — her profile says she’s from Brooklyn — was not the first to post on this topic. I searched and found several piggy truther discussion threads over the years. But her tweet has gone viral and so far prompted more than 3,000 responses, many of them anguished:
“My whole childhood was a lie.” “I hate my newfound knowledge; ignorance was better.” “I don’t even know what’s real anymore.” “You've just made me very sad.” “He died?!?!! Noooooooooooo!” And so on.

I posted click polls to Facebook and Twitter to try to measure reaction to this observation. On both platforms, only 18 percent of some 200 respondents claimed to have known that the first pig in the rhyme was not, in sad fact, off to pick up a few things at the store but instead was off to meet its maker.
 In comments, some have blamed illustrators of children's books for perpetuating the happier interpretation.
The results mean that, although 100 percent of you will find this topic trivial in light of all that is going on in the world, more than 80 percent of you will nevertheless find it relevant. As for me, when I have grandchildren, that first little piggy is going to go to Aldi.

Behind the Meaning of the Children's Song “This Little Piggy” -
“This Little Piggy” may very well be the first song we hear and learn as children.
Whether using your fingers or your toes, the cute little song is sung to us early on as cooing parents bond with their newborns. Your pinky becomes a protagonist. Your index and ring fingers become players in the performance.
It’s enough to put a loving smile on the face of any infant.
And here we’ll dive into the meaning of teaching different roles in the song and its origins.
 So, without further ado, let’s do just that.
“This Little Piggy” is an English-language nursery rhyme that is both sung and played with a child’s fingers or toes.
In 1728, the first line of the rhyme appeared in a medley song called “The Nurses Song.” And the first known full version was recorded in The Famous Tommy Thumb’s Little Story-Book, which arrived first in London in 1760.
In that version, the rhyme goes:
This pig went to market,
That pig stayed home;
This pig had roast meat,
That pig had none;
This pig went to the barn’s door,
And cried week, week for more.
[RELATED: Behind the Meaning of the Classic Nursery Rhyme “Jack and Jill”]
Evolution of the PiggiesThe ditty began to appear more and in evolved ways over the years. In 1922, the rhyme was included in Beatrix Potter’s illustrated book Cecily Parsley’s Nursery Rhymes.
 
Slight variations began to pop up in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. But it wasn’t until the mid-20th century that “little pigs” became “little piggies,” making the rhyme even more cutesy.
Today the most commonly known version goes:
This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none,
This little piggy cried “Wee! Wee! Wee!” all the way home.
Using the above version of the song, parents often perform the rhyme using finger or toe play, each line corresponding to a different digit on the hand or foot, with a foot tickle done at the very end.
For example:
This little piggy went to market, (Wiggle the “big” toe)
This little piggy stayed home, (Wiggle the “long” toe)
This little piggy had roast beef, (Wiggle the “middle” toe)
This little piggy had none, (Wiggle the “ring” toe)
This little piggy cried “Wee! Wee! Wee!” all the way home.
 (Wiggle the “little” toe and tickle the bottom of the foot)

Final ThoughtsThe nursery rhyme achieves several things at once.
First, it’s a fun, interactive rhyme that can bond parents and children. Second, the rhyme teaches very rudimentary counting and the understanding of individual fingers and toes. Third, the rhyme, which was the 8th most popular nursery rhyme in 2009, according to a survey done in the U.K., teaches about different roles. One piggy goes to the market. One piggy eats. One doesn’t. One goes home. These are all separate, individual actions, reinforcing the idea of individuality to young children.

 Three pretty pigs 
 Couldn't buy boots, 
 Could not buy shirt-fronts, 
 Hats, slippers and pants. 
 I bought my favorite pigs 
 Both shirt-fronts and boots, 
 Well, the pigs are all squealing - 
 They don't want to take gifts. 
 They say to me: “Are pigs 
 Do they wear hats and boots? 
 And, of course, pants 
 Pigs don't need it! nine0003 
 As in trousers and boots 
 Do decent pigs sleep in a puddle?!

 And for older sons - 
 Five ruddy rolls. 
 Six pancakes for little daughter 
 She brought it in a bag.

 Ten cakes for yourself!

 And in the evening,

 All napkins

 Dozed off

 And happier

Is the pig guilty
 My grandmother keeps telling me: “You screwed me up: 
 He spilled the jelly, climbed into the soup with his hands.
 
 What a disgusting thing, what does it all mean: 
 Pushed my sister, was very rude to her?!” 
 And mother says sternly for half a day: 
 “He put a piglet in his own business. 
 How the pig squealed for some reason again, 
 What an ill-bred son you are!” 
 And there is an ordinary pig in the yard, 
 Hearing the conversation, not at all happy: 
 “After all, that child was not brought up, 
 Believe me, it's not my fault at all!"

 He grew his belly in a year.

 Stole my lunch this morning! 
 Mr. Bill is lying, of course - 
 He was fat from birth ... 
 I was told by the spinner on Wednesday, 
 That Bill doesn't have a roommate.

Piggy Agafyushka
 Piggy Agafyushka walked through the forest, 
 Piggy found a basket near the oak tree. 
 There were a lot of acorns in the basket, 
 What a gift for cute kids! 
 Can't wait for Agafya family: 
 Glorious daughters and sons, 
 But Agafya wanted to eat 
 And I decided to sit on the stumps. 
 Juicy acorns are asking in the mouth, 
 And the pig's belly swells.
 
 The pig has a very good appetite, 
 Her belly doesn't hurt. 
 Empty basket, no acorns, 
 What will she feed the children? 
 Ashamed, insulting Agafya to tears, 
 Strongly swollen patch - pig's nose. 
 So the pig sits on the stump, 
 Her daughters and sons are waiting... 
 Piggy lost her peace from tears, 
 What does she need to come home with now? 
 or: 
 (Tears flow from her eyes in a stream - 
 How to return to her house without a gift).

 And he wrote poetry for three days,

Unhappy pigs
 Rented for pigs

 The house has no dirt 
 and there is no puddle.

Pig drawing
 On my picture 
 Pink pig. 
 Tail - small hook 
 And a funny piglet. 
 The sun warms the pig's back - 
 Taking a bath piggy 
 Not simple - mud, 
 They are all pigs! 
 I will draw for a pig 
 And a bucket, and a trough.
 
 Might be useful for the pig 
 White sheet? nine0003 
 I will draw a bed for her, 
 The pig will sleep sweetly in it. 
 Here is the soft duvet - 
 Will the pig be happy? 
 Well, what if it suddenly makes you feel bad, 
 The pig will be sad in the crib. 
 Then I'm next to a perinka 
 I'll draw a PUDDLE for a pig!

Pigs learned to fly
 Pigs learned to fly. 
 What a joy for all the pigs! 
 And now constantly somewhere 
 Pigs fly and fly. 
 Tucking in the hooves, 
 Straightening pigtails, 
 They fly over the capital, 
 Grunting loudly to everyone from above. 
 I will open all windows and doors. 
 I will only see my own piglets, 
 I'll invite them for tea and I'm sure 
 That in the evening they will arrive. 
 Bathe in a puddle near the house, 
 Grunt again good friends 
 And they will rush along the path of the familiar 
 Straight into the sky to the gray clouds.
 nine0003 
 It's so good in the sky, I understand! 
 I would also fly with them ... 
 But they will return. Promise! 
 To a warm puddle in their native land!

 There is a puddle in the middle of the village, 
 There is a big Piggy in it. 
 And around her squeal 
 Ten wonder pigs. 
 Ten round snouts, 
 Ten ponytails upright, 
 Forty legs, twenty ears 
 Ten pink tops. 
 Then they climb onto the beds, 
 Then they fight in the ditch, 
 Then they undermine the entire fence, 
 Then they smear the yard with mud. 
 And then they run to the trough 
 And they chew, they chew to their fill. 
 They don't look at each other, 
 They eat what they give. 
 When tired, they will snuggle up to their mother 
 And sleep peacefully for hours.

 On a summer evening in a meadow 
 Animals bathed in a Russian bath. 
 Hedgehog rubs his belly with a washcloth, 
 Paw, 
 muzzle, 
 behind the ear, 
 But the Hedgehog 
 can't lather his back. 
 
 Piggy was sitting nearby in a basin, 
 was steaming and singing. 
 He asked Mumps, 
 Will he rub his back? 
 But the Pig answered: 
 - Chur, not me! 
 To know, she is afraid 
 To prick her hooves... 
  A pig rode at dawn  
  Andrey Usachev  
 A loud sound was heard early in the morning. 
 I looked out the window half asleep: 
 Pink, cheerful, neat 
 Piglet was driving a car. 
 Piglet was handsome: 
 He was wearing a checkered suit. 
 He turned his head contentedly, 
 Together with his head he turned the steering wheel.
 
 White gloves on the hooves. 
 Panama hat embroidered with flowers: 
 He rode on the grass to lie, 
 Or to visit his mother in the village... 
 Piglet rode at dawn, 
 Pink, similar to the dawn... 
 And warning everyone in the world, 
 He pressed the snout: 
 - Oink-Oink! 
  Piglet on the porch

 Piglet on the porch 
 Went out in the early evening. 
 He sees - the fog on the river 
 In the shuttle floats sideways. 
 And behind the river, behind the fog 
 Barely visible, the oak stands. 
 And behind the oak, above the mound, 
 In the sky, an asterisk burns. 
 "Ah," thought the piglet, "
 How beautiful and warm, 
 And in the damp shade it's dark 
 So it's light from the star. 
 Than the oak behind the river, 
 What drowned in the fog, 
 He sees, he sees us with a sheep, 
 The dog that crouched in the booth? 
 And visiting a frog 
 Ants side by side on a stump 
 They also see a piglet, 
 Are they happy with me too? 
  Piglets  
  Samuil Marshak  
 In the spring the piglets went for a walk.
 
 I did not know my family happier. 
 "Oink-oink," the contented mother said, 
 And the children squealed: "Eee!" nine0003 
 But the most shrill of all the pigs 
 Said to them, "Oh, my brothers! 
 All grown-up pigs say oink-oink, 
 Quit squealing oink-oink at you! 
 Listen, brothers, as I say. 
 Why am I worse than a grown pig?" 
 Poor thing! He thought he would say "oink-oink", 
 But he squealed plaintively: "Eee!" 
 Since then, the little ones stopped playing, 
 They didn't rummage in the dirt and dust. 
 And all because they didn't dare to squeal, 
 And they couldn't grunt! 
 My boy! I give you this song. nine0017 Calculate your strength. 
 And, if you don't know how to say "oink-oink", - 
 Screeching, not embarrassed: "And-and!" 
  Piglet  
  Nastya Dobrota  
 - Piglet, piglet 
 Where are you in a hurry when you're awake? 
 - I'm running to the spring 
 Wash my dirty patch.
 
 - Piglet, piglet, 
 Why is your voice ringing? 
 - Because, oink-oink-oink, 
 I sing songs like that! 
 - Piglet, piggy, 
 Why are you jumping like a little imp? nine0017 - I play hopscotch 
 With Stasik the frog! 
 - Piglet, piglet, 
 Watch out, there's a wolf cub! 
 - I'm not afraid, if necessary, 
 I'll quickly hide in a black puddle. 
 Piglet, piglet 
 He became just like a Negro. 
 He squeals with joy, 
 He is in no hurry to wash!
