(Henry the Piggy's Life Trials Part One) When Henry Meets Zackary

I once had a piggy,
he sang so well he sounded like Ziggy.
His name was Henry and he had a dream,
it was hard to follow without a team.
Unsupported and left behind,
his angelic voice slowly declined.
He searched and searched and searched for a friend,
it seemed his search would never come to an end.
One day at the supermarket in the slop section,
an unexpected boy appeared and the timing was perfection.
Henry held two bags of slop, one rhubarb, the other corn,
then he asked the boy, "which one? i am torn."
The boy was utterly confused. A pig was talking!
He was walking and talking it was all kind of shocking!
The boy said "rhubarb, that would be my pick,
but i wouldnt know, slop makes me sick."
"I understand" Henry replied with a sigh.
"But what is your name? You seem like a nice guy." 
"The name is Zack, Zackary Cull you see,
I think we could be good friends, you and me."
So Mr. Piggy's adventure continued at last,
his voice came back like a blast from the past.
Zack said one day "The next chapter of your life is about to start."
"A chapter in in my life? What are you talking about? What part?"
"Look at this flyer i found on a post,
American Idol is coming and Redding California will be its host!"
Henry became nervous, he did not know what do,
so he looked to the lord for he was a Jew.
"Do it," said a voice, "its your one and only chance."
Zackary was alarmed for Henry was in a trance.
"I'll do it!" Henry exclaimed confidently.
"Its my time, believe you me"
"How will you do it? Paula may be beatuiful but Simon is rude."
"That's easy. ill imagine him nude."
"How will that help in any way at all?!"
"I don't know but he's British so i would imagine he's small."
The day of auditions came faster than a comet,
Little Mr. Piggy felt the sudden urge to vomit.
"You can do it, you got the team on yo' back dude." said Zack with reassurence.
Zack tends to give words of wisdom, it was a regular occurence.
"Number 213!" said a seemingly distant voice
"You don't have to do this Henry," said Zack' "its your choice."
"I have to do this i finally have a team."
Henry stood up exuding confidence and in his smile was a gleam.
Henry waas gone at least 14.344 minuts of agonizing terror.
Zackary hoped for Mr. Piggy's sake that Simon would be fairer.
Upon Henry's arrival Zackary leaped to his side.
"How did it go?! How well did your voice glide?!"
"I'm going to Hollywood! I made Simon my pet!
My journey is not over, not anytime yet."
So two friends left the building joking to one another. 
They no longer talked friend to friend, but now brother to brother.
