This little piggy lost his glory,
He got bumped from the children’s story.
The curses outmatched him,
The fatwah dispatched him,
Watch for the knives – this will get gory.

Yeah…I remember all the Jewish parents in our neighborhood forbidding their kids to watch Porky Pig. Geez–whom are we kidding here?
