Living lower on the hog than anticipated
lower on the hog than previously expected
lower on the hog than desired
Living on the underside of the hog belly
pretty much bouncing on the ground
beneath the aforementioned hog belly
Living closer to the hog's butt than would be desired
having your nose rubbed in hog butt from time to time
scrambling to get out of the way of an oncoming pork belly
Living off an unusually skinny hog
who apparently hasn't been hogging all that much
and could stand a refresher course in what it means to be a hog at all
Wishing we had never gotten into all this hogging in the first place
considering going back to hanging out pretty much with pure turkey
turkey appears to be where it's at lately
Being associated with turkeys would be the way
who really needs a hog anyway
when there are so many turkeys in the nation
Ah, screw it, stick with the hogs, it's too late
run with the hogs, that would be the way
running with the hogs through Pamplona

Bravo! Bravo!
Agreed. Nice work, Jerry. I like this form.
Great title!
Love this all the way to the last stanza. Feel this deserves a stronger end. Look in left field.
Happy is the man content with his lot.
At first I was halted by the repetition but then it came to be the whole meaning for me--the focus we have on survival. Nice.
Thank you!
Bill, I looked in left field and added another stanza.
