Randall Scott Crossette Poetry

Why is Bacon so darn good when pigs smell so darn bad?
It’s something that I’ve thought about and wonder if you have
I mean how come it can taste so good how can this thing be true
When they stink so bad for miles around I know you’ve smelled it too

The cows are bad but not so much and only when they’re penned
But pigs smell bad no matter what I wonder where they’ve been
When we don’t see do they go out and play at the local dump
I don’t think so but I’ll admit the whole things got me stumped

And what is better than Christmas ham so juicy and so sweet
It’s enough to make you want to eat nothing but piggy meat
At breakfast time some biscuits covered with sausage gravy deep
Can wake me up before you know I’ll be coming down to eat

The best of all is Ice Cream and you all know what I mean
But Bacon Eggs & Hash Browns are close seconds so it seems
So when you start that Breakfast or the dinner bell you ring
Cook Bacon - Ham or Sausage and make me feel like I’m a King!
