Peppered Joy

 Another reverse-engineered hymn, the first line should be a giveaway.

----------------------------------
All hail the strip of fatty bliss
Salted to the core
It graces breakfast, burgers, shrimp
And smells good, I want more
It pops and crackles as it cooks
And smells good, I want more

Salads cry for crumbled strips
To grace each lettuce leaf
As from each bit it slowly drips,
Such finely flavored grease
It's worth the saturated fat
Such finely flavored grease

It's naught but gristle soaked in fat
But for Pete's sake, taste one!
Muslims this is where it's at
You need to try bacon
Just close your eyes and take a bite
You need to try bacon

  1. You came by your love of bacon honestly...you inherited it from your mother. I really love bacon, too, and got a chuckle out of your poem.
