I'll admit, I'm not much of a cook,

but this dish leaves me feeling shook.

If you're out of ideas for fillers,

potatoes or rice would be killer.

*

I wonder what this guy was thinking,

there's no doubt in my mind, he was drinking.

Who looks at a baby and says, hummm,

I will serve - what comes out of his bum.

*

If it wasn't that good the first time,

what makes it better to try one more time?

If it smells like something has died,

you can bet that they'll call it refried.

*

The nightmare of the diaper dreams,

heated poop, smooshing out of its seams.

Unless you want me to leave,

don't put that crap in my tacos, please!
