Piggy wig

Piggy wig
 

I saw something like "There in a wood a piggy wig stood etc...." and I don´t understand it. Can anybody help?:rose::rose::rose::rose:

Where did you see it? Years ago I heard piggy wiggy used as a cute term for a pig, in books designed to be read aloud to very young children. However, piggy wig as in your example, does a better job of preserving the rhythm of the phrase when said out loud. So it could be the same meaning.

The words come from a poem entitled "The Owl and the Pussycat," by Edward Lear.

The 'piggy-wig' in the poem is a pig (one that happens to have a ring in its nose). It was probably coined by the poet to fit the meter.

It's worth watching as a simple exercise in English:

¡Reírse a carcajadas! En mí estado (Carolina del Sur) tenemos unos súper mercados con esto nombre: Piggly Wiggly.
