I smell bacon, I smell pork. Run little piggy, I got a fork.

Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

This is a sing-song, nursery-rhyme style threat. The speaker rhymes 'pork' with 'fork' while addressing a 'little piggy', turning a childish rhyme menacing. The playful rhythm makes it more unsettling, because the cheerful form wraps around a predatory idea.
