Meat Elegy
Pete the Meat has had a heart attack,
It truly is a tragedy,
To see him clutching a Big Mac,
Dead on the slab for us to see.
His distraught dad rushes to the mortuary,
With a side of venison,
He can't accept Pete's gone,
'It's meat, Pete,' he begs, 'Wake up, son!'
A week later, at the wake,
Every kind of meat is there,
Even the vegans out of respect,
Taste some partridge or roast hare.
Up in heaven Pete's having a feast,
With the Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
And Dizzy Gillespie who says, licking his lips:
'My man, Jesus is doing a pig roast!'
