Nor yet ever clean was his face.
His friends were much hurt to see so much dirt,
And often and well did they scour!
But all was in vain, he was dirty again
Before they had done it an hour.
When to wash he was sent, he reluctantly went
With water to splash himself o’er,
But he left the black streaks all over his cheeks,
And made them look worse than before.
The pigs in the dirt couldn’t be more expert
