David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

A Pound of Bacon

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
