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
