Paul Warren Poet Ballad

Canned Food

You-tube videos for ready made canned meals 
Are tasted here for the real deal
A chicken in a can is a sloppy mess
Scored low for taste not being the best

Then there was bread in a can made with molasses 
With canned cheese on top more than impressive 
The canned hamburgers are not good
Washed down with beer makes it better than it should

I suppose when the zombie apocalypse comes
We will be happy when these cans are undone
But I wonder when the end is near
The dead would be grateful not eating this canned gear.

David Smith April 18, 2019 at 4:15 AM Worth the read. Well set out argument. I like my canned peas and corn and canned peaches and Guavas as for the rest can live happily without. We humans tend to do things just because we can. Have a great Easter on your side of the ditch. Cadbury not popular this side. used to be most trusted brand but things change I see Air NZ Most trusted brand over your side. Best regards David in NZ
