Along with her wonderful artwork, Julie has also written this beautiful, touching poem about Oink’s past and present circumstances.

There was a time when I was not alone

Here in green field grass of home

Some pig friends kept me company

But they made the strangest noise to me

Try as I might, to block this sound

In my head it went around

I started to talk, just the same way

As I watched them roll in mud and play

So from then on I took the name

To match that sound, the very same

The name is Oink and it suits me well

It’s a little strange, but I think its swell

Lately though, I live in fear

My pig friends gone and nobody near

When bullies come to torment me

A play thing just to hurt they see

The feed me mustard, burn my hay

Shout and prod until I run away

The make my drinking water thick

By adding soap that makes me sick

But worse than that, what they have done

Is hurt me for their misguided fun

They threw some bricks, which caused me pain

I needed pills to ease the strain

For now I try to stay inside

Feeling safer when I hide

I used to like to run outdoors

But I’m scared to do that anymore

I do have many others come

And when they visit, I have fun

They give me treats, like broccoli

They’re kind and they show love for me

The other kind, the ones that try

To taunt me and to make me cry

With wicked stones, they made me sore

I know not why they hurt me so

So soon I hope to have a fence

To block them out with their offense

To keep me safe here in my home

Where I like live, in peace, and left alone.
