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
