Story 176: Pig on a Spit
About midnight the pig was fit on the spit,
and placed over the charcoal pit. So that it
wouldn’t burn, a close watch was kept on it.
At noon the next day girls came some
wearing sweaters, mostly knits, and dresses
with slits. They were escorted by boys who
brought bats, balls and mitts, to shag flies
and take hits.
At two o'clock watermelons were split and
seeds spit. Next the pig was removed from
the pit, then eaten for hours to the last
bit, just as the sun was about to, quit.
