Ode To Bacon I woke up to thoughts of you I can almost see you now. I long for just a little lick, to taste of you somehow. This hunger in my body, this hunger in my mind. Every time I get this urge it's you I look to find. I don't know how it happened, I never even saw it start. It seems that I was born a man with bacon in my heart. The crackle and the sizzle it is my favorite sound. The only part I really hate you come in just one pound. I think of you I drink of you you are my finest wine. Thick sliced and smoked with maple I'm so glad you are mine. Piled high on top of bread or sprinkled on a salad. Someday of my love for you someone will write a ballad. Where I will be the hero from a fate that's worse than death. And then spend eternity with bacon on my breath. Together as it's meant to be with all the love we're makin. Tattooed across my tummy. My heart belongs to bacon. Edwin C Hofert
