Cannibals Are People Too

Leaning toward cannibalism? You might want to give it a go Overall they're not a bad lot, They are people too, you know Paranoia runs quite rampant Amongst any Cannibal troupe Looking down trodden or weary May cause you to land in the soup! Careful you don't get too fat A discerning diners first choice They all speak deeply with power No weakness should be in their voice An unwritten rule in the tribe, Is avoid a sneeze or a cough They start thinking you may die,! Not that it puts anyone off! "Just a bit of pepper in my nose", Sounds like you're already seasoned Putting you out of your misery Might be how your demise is reasoned One cannibal bumped his elbow He said, "Owww, about that weather!" When he saw heads whipping around, That was how he got it together! Be careful what you do and say You could join and be a winner But watch out if they say to you, They'd like to have you for dinner!
