The Coming Bacon Shortage

The Coming Bacon Shortage By Elton Camp Even though the press release was mistaken, It told of an unavoidable shortage of bacon Then when it was picked up on the Internet, Loads of worldwide publicity it did get That fat & cholesterol they won’t be getting To many folks was just terribly upsetting The corn crop was damaged by drought Is what the press release was really about In fact, bacon in the stores will still be there But folks may have to pay more than they care However, because bacon prices will rise Is why no shortage will come by surprise Shortage is when there actually isn’t enough High prices means folks eat less of the stuff This creates balance between supply & demand So, in reality, there is no bacon shortage at hand Yet many people began to panic and to growl When the Internet created a most baseless howl
