Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Sell the Sizzle

Hey, killer, you've slain a cow
   It's been swiftly slaughtered, cooked, and now
You stick your knife's blade deep into that hunk of meat
   Bloody juice rushes forth, so thick it coagulates, red as a beet

How much more of this gore can you possibly take?
   No wonder they say: Sell the sizzle, not the steak!
