A Bacon

O a bacon...a bacon,
A bacon...a piece.
A piece on a toastwitch,
Will give me release.

From this hunger...I'm having,
That comes on me low.
And my ravenous intentions,
Has made for a show.

A bacon...a bacon,
Some that is brown.
Some that will change me,
With the acts of a clown.

Some that will sustain me,
To the people...I meet.
Lest my legs should buckle,
As I walk on the street.

O give me some bacon,
Great strength I will derive.
It will patch up my innards,
And keep me alive.

E.P. 1908 - 1989
