Pork Skins

Some people eat them plain, some with hot sauce They buy no matter what the cost They have swept the nation, have become a craze If not on the shelves, customers call it a disgrace It is said that gluttony is a sin But no one cares, they just want their pork skins Someone said with soy sauce they are pretty good A new flavor coming out soon, smoked over hickory wood Try them with jalepeno and cheddar dip KC Masterpiece may be the trick So I say let the party begin Can't have a party without pork skins The skins finally arrive The party comes alive The girls flock around the designated potato chip bowl They begin to fight over the contents, this party is way out of control After the bruises, bloody noses and broken bones, the last one standing wins For the victor comes the spoils, her own bowl of pork skins This here was a limited time offer The victor just happened to be a sailor's daughter Keep in mind that we are from the south We are extremely careful what kinds of food we put in our mouths The stores just can't keep them on the shelves If I could, I would have them all to myself In Laura Ingalls' days they were served in a tin Even Laura couldn't go without her pork skins
