Macon Bacon

So Willy Wonka’s gone and now I’ve got
his factory. Though chocolate is great,
there’s something else to which I’ve given thought!
Because of Covid, livestock’s gone to waste.
Please, Farmers, do not throw your pigs away!
Although it’s getting hard now to sustain
those animals, pigs’ lives can’t be in vain!
My company is here to save the day.

Inside my factory, we specialize
in makin’ bacon, for who does not love
that sizzlin’ stuff? I’ve brought back bacon fries.
My restaurant nearby has plenty of
the bacon lover’s best! For example:
bacon sliders, bacon mac, and for a tease -
elvis egg rolls, which are more than ample!
We serve bacon onion rings and grilled cheese,
maple bacon smokies, bacon cheese logs,
even bacon apple pie and ice cream!
I want to give a HUG to all the HOGS
who give their lives to make food such a dream.

Old Willy Wonka – he was much too sweet.
At Macon Bacon, life is one gigantic salty treat.

Factory located in Macon County, MO (in my imagination)

G'day Andrea … I guess we all have our favoured way of enjoying your Macon Bacon. Cold crisp bacon on sandwiches is mine. A bit different but I enjoy it - thanks Andrea - Lindsay

You have got me hungry now! I'll be visiting your factory for a tour as soon as they open up. I'm reminded of those county fairs that sell chocolate-covered, bacon-wrapped, chocolate-dipped bacon. Mmm-mm. Fun one, Andrea!

Wow your "MACON" history with this one. Of course everything taste better with bacon. I want to visit your factory and I wish you would teach these morons at Tyson, and Smithfield and the other two they shut down how to operate. Thanks for sharing...
