Merry Maladies: Tom Tom the Piper's Son

One of three for my thesis project. My literalizing take on traditional nursery rhymes.

Tom Tom the Piper's son
Stole a pig and away he ran.
The pig was eat and Tom was beat
And Tom went roaring down the street.

It was cute! (Though, you do know that 'pig' in the rhyme is referring to a pastry, right?)

Here's my 2 cents worth...

It would be better if the movemnet of the cloud and the smoke could be faster. I find it lacking motion.

I did like the mad splatter, the ah sound,the burb and the sulking sound... nice touches.

why were there two versions of this song?

[YodaChild95]

Well, that was very interesting.

The beating could of been a little more graphic. I think that a sophisticated and mature audience that this was targeted towards could handle it.

You choose to use the alternative in stead of the original. I guess it because the original is bland... Original as follows... Tom, Tom, the piper's son, He learned to play when he was young. But all the tune that he could play Was "Over the hills and far away." Alternative version: Tom, Tom, the piper's son, Stole a pig, and away did run. The pig was eat, And Tom was beat, And Tom went crying Down the street.
