Hector the Hog was the king of the farm
He paced up and down in the yard
He was known for the way that he kept the peace
And his temper was really quite hard
If there was a dispute with anyone else
They would always call Hector to judge
Then when he had reached his verdict on that
There was no way the Hector would budge
So when Hector went missing it was a surprise
Why, even the pig sty was locked
The rumors began, he was taken for meat
And that came as a terrible shock
Now Harry the horse decided to strike
And said, lets down tools till he’s back
That just won’t work said Barney the dog
If we do that they’ll give us a whack
A strike was ruled out and they all agreed
A go slow would suit them just right
So banners we made and plans were worked out
They were going to give them a fight
The go slow went according to plan
And soon all was in disarray
The sheep refused to follow the dog
The cows would not milk and just lay
Douglas the donkey he didn’t do work
So stayed in his shed all the time
While Harry the Horse developed a limp
So couldn’t move fast, which was fine
The day finished like the day had began
With no sign of Hectors reprieve
They said they would carry this on the next day
And always, until he’s retrieved
The very next day a big lorry came
Sweeping straight in though the gate
The back door was opened and out of the dark
Came Hector the Hog looking great
Now everything well in Hector domain
And everything’s as it should be
Hector it seems was just down the road
