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
