So That's How It Happened
Three ladies all in lettuce dress
arrived to greet the crowd
their gowns were long and leafy green
with roughage all around
The gang had gathered angrily
to protest increased price
the market had just raised the cost
of everything but rice
They tried to quell the noisy bunch
of wholewheat, white and rye
but they had lost the crowd
to three tomatoes walking by
They called on Mr. Bacon
They thought maybe he’d assist
Bacon knew the owner
maybe he could raise his fist
What happened next was not at all
expected, as you see
the owner made a sandwich
that’s now known as B.L.T.
