Caucasian cannibals in middle-class burbs
Could they be for real? Does that sound absurd?
Living modern-day lives just like you and me
While secretly embracing their gluttony with glee!
* BON APPETIT! *
Cannibal cookbooks – colors vivid and bright
Descriptions and pictures, a grim, gruesome sight
They all love to share their best recipe tips
Smacking their lips as it goes to their hips!
Cooking outdoors on a big fire that smokes
A tasty smorgasbord of all kinds of folks!
Cannibals love anyone when served with hot sauce
And after each meal, they’ll remember to floss!
They bake, and they broil. They fry, and they grill
To use a new smoker gives them such a thrill
Pink meat is so juicy. Cooked medium rare
Garnish with nuts (NOT THOSE!) if you dare!
When loved ones all gather to eat in one place
Cannibals join hands, close their eyes, and say grace
Then gorging themselves, they chow down a big meal
While gnawing and gnashing, they can’t help but squeal!
Cannibal buffet! It’s a true “Family Night!”
They savor each morsel! Delight in each bite!
It’s all-you-can-eat, so they’re sure to pig out!
There are fingers and toes! And there’s even the snout!
When cannibals are hit with a munchie attack
A small body part they will grab as a snack!
Carnivores nibbling on sweet comfort food
A delectable treat puts them in a good mood!
Enchanting dinner theater. Such cannibal joy!
The meal’s the real deal. All meat and NO SOY!
Talented actors entertain the large crowd
While the audience is belching and burping out loud!
There’s laughter and feasting, and good times galore
And later, the couple will hit the dance floor!
Spinning and twirling til dead on their feet
Then taking leftovers back home to reheat!
* HOLIDAY HORRORS *
Cannibal children on snowy Christmas Eve
Goodies for dear Santa! But WHO should they leave?
St Nick craves confections in the middle of the night
BUT THOSE ARE NOT COOKIES! He’s gags with first bite!
A special occasion can be really rough
It’s tough at Thanksgiving. THEY are so hard to STUFF!
The gizzard, the liver, the neck and the heart
It’s giblets they love! But it might cause a fart!
Leafy green salads – a cannibal should partake
Roughage is great. Take a break from that steak!
They’re plugged, and they’re stuffed, They’re bloated, and swollen
A diet of meat clogs a cannibal’s colon!
Crunchy, and crackly, and crispy with batter
It’s no one they know, so it just doesn’t matter
Frying with sizzle. It melts in their mouth
But the fun will be over when –
Stomach contents head SOUTH!
Hemorrhoids! OH NO! The itch and the pain
The burning sensation each time that they strain!
Digestive disaster! Internal warfare!
Stool softeners required for the porcelain chair!
Constipation, diarrhea, gassy, and gout
Bad eating habits cause problems, no doubt
It’s healthier for cannibals to eat vegetarians
If they’re wanting to live to be octogenarians!
There are strips and filets. There are burgers and chops
For cannibal gourmets, the fun never stops
All tender and juicy. Full of flavor. Yum! Yum!
But you don’t want to know where the NUGGETS come from!
