The Family Secret

I thought you might like to try this
It's a brand new recipe
I used to eat it when I was a kid
My mama used to make it for me

We tried to sell it to that chicken guy
I think Colonel Sanders was his name
But he said he'd stick with poultry
And we could keep the wild game

It's got a little bit of wild taste
A little gamey, if you will
But I'm sure, you're gonna love it
And I know you'll eat your fill

Grab you a pot with six potatos
And cut them up, nice and fat
Some carrots and peas for flavor
We really can't forget about that

Now the salt and pepper is a must
Just a little more than a pinch
Don't worry about messing this up
Cause it really is a cinch

Now you better not forget the oregno
You gotta have all your spices
Then take your meat from the freezer
And cut it up in real small slices

Just put it on low and let it simmer
Till the meat gets nice and pink
You may have to open a window or two
For sometimes, it tends to stink

When it's almost done, you stab it 
With a stick that you find in the yard
Sometimes the meat get's a little bit tough
So you may have to poke it pretty hard

So, now your meal is finally finished
And wasn't that nice and quick?
I hope you like this family secret
And enjoy your skunk on a stick
