Mark Yakich - Poem for the U.S. Department of Agriculture lyrics

At the Annual Luncheon of course I pa** up The orange pom-poms of roe and reach for the BLT. It's a very formal affair, and looks and tastes Real but is probably fat-free. Lots of people Mistake a rock for a bear but almost no one Mistakes a bear for a rock. There are strips And strips of bacon and malls across America. Scholars say that while he was writing Lolita, Nabokov ate hundreds of “pigs in a blanket.” On The Mall in D.C. people play softball, watch Fireworks, and occasionally clutch terrible Placards. What about a replica of the Capitol In bacon? When I'm very hungry, I think I could eat one at an all-night, all-bacon diner. What about a flag of bacon? Oh I would Not have the courage to fly it. For who would Apologize to the pigs and hogs and sky?
