Pigs and Dirt

Try to clean a pig,
And forever more that's what you'll do.
It's more than dirt they love to dig,
But muck & mire & compost stew.

Try to wash a hog,
To keep it from the brine,
It will wallow in the bog,
For it, indeed, is swine.

Try to save a foolish one,
From a foolish past.
They'll come to hate what you have done,
Your deeds, on them, will never last.
