Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son: Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son, stole a pig and away he run.

Written by L. Frank Baum

Narrated by Philip Chenevert

"Tom, Tom, the piper's son,

Stole a pig and away he run;

The pig was eat and Tom was beat

And Tom ran crying down the street." Why did Tom steal that pig? Was he a bad boy? Not according to the story behind this rhyme. Tom was the only son of a good for nothing man who could only play the pipes and that very badly. Little Tom was forced to steal food for his father and himself as they travelled around the country. Was he beaten? oh yes, he was and very soundly by the owner of the little pig that he stole. But he learned his lesson and became a good citizen from then on. Listen to this tale and get a chuckle now and then because it is very droll.
