Can of Spam

First thing I do is check the date Good thru two thousand eighty five Haven't had a can this fresh Since Calvin Coolidge was alive You can call it quirkiness Each time I give the top a thump Best way to tell if it's perfectly jelled To the consistency that I love If you know what I'm taking about Well right you are and yes I am That delectable treat of mystery meat Known around the world as A Can Of Spam Spam only comes in one savory flavor King of canned meat there is only one You remember long after your dining pleasure By the amount of film left on your tongue Do as I do and save the lid A smart move you would be making Comes in handy after dining To help along with the tongue scraping

When I was working in the oil fields of Texas, we used to buy it and cook it on the grill out at the rig. That gel as you call it, we made up a word for it "smegma". I can't quit laughing, Mike. You are too funny! You have brought back some treasured memories for me.
