Pig Trump snorted. A wide grin crossed his pig face. If he wasn’t having a good day, then there was solace in the misery of others.

And Corgi Farm was making the Presidency of Pig Trump look, if not efficient, at least for a few days, less like a brewery run by drunken sheep.

Flamingo May had visited Swamp Farm a few months earlier. She was like everyone else from Corgi Farm – with a superior air of past glories. She had told Pig Trump that it would be good for Swamp Farm if he continued to give all the other farms (Corgi Farm, Black Forest Cake Farm, Garlic Farm and Viking Farm) free produce.

This was pretty rich coming from Corgi Farm. Sure they were poor now – scuffed shoes, their carts were broken and their horses lame. But they had once owned Swamp Farm – and in those days they had kept all the produce, especially the tea, for themselves.

And now, the No 10 Barn on Corgi Farm was collapsing. Many years ago, No 10 Barn had been looked after by the pink corgis (although a few of the corgis were a bright red – they were a untrained group – but at the time nobody had really paid them any attention).

More re enemy, the No 10 Barn had been looked after by the blue corgis. Corgi Farm seemed cramped. Quite a lot of animals from other farms had been coming to live there.

Everyone said (or are at least saying now) that the No 10 Barn had another three years good use in it. But Flamingo May was determined to have a bigger Barn now. Many of the senior blue corgis offered to look at the plans – but Flamingo May said that she knew what she was doing.

But now all was in disarray.

One night, the gate had not been locked, and all the red corgis had broken in and pissed all over the building plans for No 10 Barn. The ink had run everywhere and nobody had another copy. So the builders were going with what they had – and it looked now No 10 Barn was wobbling, its walls leaning.

But relief for Pig Trump may be short lived. The Cofveve River is still drying up. The Back Channel has not worked. And even though Pig Trump seems to spend all his time being photographed holding trotters with Melania, everyone knows she sleeps alone in the Bagel Bedroom.
