I. G.

Author’s Note: this one was inspired by some online recipe that called for just one sprig of an herb when realistically several would be better.

How big
Is your sprig?
Does it take a big rig
To haul it, or do you have to dig?

Is it enough to feed a pig
In a wig,
Dancing a jig
At his first gig?
Maybe if you add a fig?

Does it need a MiG,
Or merely a SIG,
To protect it from a tig
On a pilgrimage to Lig?

If we bet on the sprig
Having safe passage to Lig,
What will be the vig?

I say, good sir, how big
Is your sprig?
