I'D Rather Starve
Is Oil tasty?
The filthy crude;
what is the allure?
It isn't food.
Yet here I stand be-trodden;
astonished at what I see,
everyone is eating Oil;
how can this be? How can this be?
They put it on their toast,
they put it in their cheese,
they slurp it whole-
and with such ease.
The thought makes me recoil;
people are eating OIl;
It's in every mouth,
in every belly,
chased down with petroleum jelly;
egads it's sick-(ick).
This cannot be healthy;
It cannot be sane,
who in their right mind would do this?
Do I shout in vain?
The madness cannot last;
it simply can't go on,
It's just a phase, it'll pass
I'll try to regain my calm.
EEP!!!!

Oil too popular-
Food is obsolete.
Oil is now the official food of earth;
starvation...what a treat.
