Waste Not Want Not

Waste Not Want Not My parents and grandparents taught me Waste not and want not they said But liposucked fat into bar soap I can’t get that thought through my head The fat that is sucked from some rich ladies Like all fat can be rendered to soap Perfumed and then sold back to rich ladies At least so the makers all hope The waste from the waist was just wasted Until someone thought “let’s waste not” Someone somewhere will sure buy it If we advertize it as hot It’s available now in Miami At 1000 dollars a bar They hint but they don’t really tell you It came from some Hollywood star “Waste not and want not’s” good guidance But sometimes – well waste is just waste But don’t let my writing dissuade you If liposucked fat soap’s your taste So lather up when you feel dirty But keep in mind where it came from Some lady’s thigh or midsection Or even perhaps her big bum Uncle Mike
