• Let Thy Belly Meet The Earth! by Mark Wertin:

The day would come prophesied the Sheards

When one shot may not do

The day was here the men had feared

So they loaded not one but two

The shot was low claimed the nasal-y snort

As the beast ran down the fence

Man one went numb, he was all out of sorts

Lack of patience caused suffrage to commence

Man two grabbed the gun and strode after the pig

It was now time to clean up this mess

Heroic patience required with a distance so big

To overcome this moment of stress.

The sights aligned, the barrel gave birth

The bullet cried, Let thy belly meet the Earth!

Agrarian Thomistic Philosophy with Dr Richard Meloche, Part 2
