1230 – The Bacon Taunt

The Bacon Taunt
Fact: you do not need a license to fish for dogs: only bacon.

Bring on the Bacon

I was built for eating bacon:
that tremendous, tasty treat.
I’ve a greedy need for feeding
on that salty, scrumptious meat.

Its ambrosial, fine aroma!
Its invigorating crunch!
How it frizzles, pops, and sizzles!
How I dream all day to munch!

I’d inhale a hundred slices
then I’d nibble ninety more.
I presume I could consume it
till my guts are gorged and sore.

I could savor all its flavor,
or just gobble it right up.
How unfair, you never share it
with this poor, pathetic pup.

This is a poem I’ve written for the Think, Kid, Think March Madness competition going on right now.

  1. Hey Sam,

    Just want to say how cool your gig is. I showed my kids and of course now they expect the same from me, lol. Keep up the great work. My kids aren’t the only ones jealous.
