A Pound of Bacon

Listen to poem:
A Pound of Bacon David J Walker Think of this As you think of that The frying pan seems to be The logical plan to burn fat And I get the obvious connection To my affection for bacon juxtaposed To my burgeoning belly But - - - think of that The fat just melts away In the heat of the cast-iron skillet Think of this No diet---no exercise--- no way to say it Other than burn it Burn that fat away Before you eat it It isn’t that hard to reduce the lard And then reuse it Let’s say to Fry a chicken that is “Finger Licking good” I say you should because Everything about the pig That I dig Is organic Think of that Burn the fat before you eat it Think of this Tomorrow morning heat The skillet and repeat it
