Animal Musings About When Pigs Fly
Animal musings …
Son: Cool ! So is it okay now, Dad, if we visit the zoo?
Dad: I think I forgot to say something about a snowball’s chance in hell.
~~~
Oh happy days, she will move to my burrow now.
~~~
Okay, I know you’re back there! I can smell you! What are you all hiding for? It ain’t like
I’m going to turn into a meerkat eating monster like you once thought. I told you that
would never happen unless …
~~~
Sorry, didn’t know you were back there. Felt good though. Did you just call me a pig?
~~~
Listen up, Zebes! There ain’t no such thing! So stop the jokes now about me losing my
stripes. I’m still the Captain!
~~~
Well … I was the Captain. Darn pig!
~~~
Stupid pig!
~~~
Everybody hide. Pretend you didn’t see it!
~~~
Look, Fred, there ain’t no such thing!
~~~
Uhhmm – I think we should listen to Fred.
~~~
Do these stripes make my butt look too big? What do you mean – oblivious to what?
~~~
I didn’t see anything in the sky!
~~~
What is daddy doing up there?
~~~
Well, he sure ain’t taking a mud bath.
~~~
Albert, get down! I told you to not eat that green plant – now you’re higher than a kite!
~~~
I said I’m sorry! And I ain’t a pig!
~~~
I’m outta here! Everybody’s nuts! Must be a bad moon rising.
~~~
Yep! Sometimes a writer just flips out and does something silly – just for the heck of it. Yesterday I heard my neighbor say, “When pigs fly!” and I got to thinking about animal musings when pigs fly. You just never know what animals may be thinking.

I have always liked to write.It is important to me that writing comes from my heart and soul. When writing poetry, if I do not feel a spiritual connection to what I am writing on, I will discard it and go on to something I can connect with on a spiritual level. I live in the moment, I write from the past or beyond the veil. When writing fiction I go with whatever inspires me at the moment - it could be funny, sorrowful, romantic or sometimes done with the use of colloquial language from mountain folk or other cultural regions.
I began writing content online in 2007, starting with BellaOnline - A Voice For Women, where I was the Native American Editor, Folklore & Mythology Editor, and the Appalachian Editor. I also wrote articles forThe Examiner, Daily Two Cents, and Yahoo. I am currently an author on HubPages.
Most of what I write takes a lot of research and I love it. Even if it is a fictional story, I will research for accuracy in whatever it takes to make my characters, their era, their location, etc. become realistic to the reader.
I hope you enjoy my works. Thank you for visiting.

Oh! You are most welcome, Tamara. Thank you for reading. I am so glad it started your day off with ‘happy’. Thanks again.
Ah this was so cute, I loved all the positions you placed their state of alarm in. Your right some days, we all wonder if pigs do fly and let loose like you did. Well done Phyllis, you put a big smile on my animal face today. You captured the moment so well.
Oh! Thank you so much, Vincent. I am very happy this piece made you smile. I had so much fun with this. Once in a while I just have to break away and do something different. So glad you enjoyed it.
Priceless! My favorite was the first one. The looks on their faces were just priceless. I have always loved a good musing. Great job!
