BOUNTIFUL TRAY
PARODY OF BEAUTIFUL DAY
A la carte just won’t do
Shoot down the options around
There’s no hope
No brunch served in this town
You’re soon in luck
You find a place
You’ve never seen before
A buffet for 12 bucks?
Maybe you won’t hunger anymore!
You thought you’d call a friend
To meet you here at this place
Someone that you could eat a meal with
If she makes haste
It’s a bountiful tray
A free-for-all
You see that it’s a bountiful tray
Don’t let it go to waste!
You were on the road
There was no hesitation
When the light turned red
This captured your imagination
You love this stuff
Even for someone that doesn’t like soup
You’ve been all over
And it’ll soon be inside of you
It’s a bountiful tray
A free-for-all
You see that it’s a bountiful tray
There’s so much you can taste!
Pinch me
Never mind any other place
Fill me
I’ll take a Pepcid just in case!
See a world of vegetables, greens & fruits
See Chinese food right in front of you
See Scalloped Potatoes, Chicken Tetrazini
See the pasta
There’s even Mac & Cheese
See the Tuna Salad
Desserts at the right
See the Dijon Pork Loins with Confetti Rice
See Barbequed Birds with Buttered Sprouts
After this lineup
All new trays come out
It’s a bountiful tray
Let’s fill our plates with haste
It’s a bountiful tray
Pinch me
Never mind any other place
Fill me
I just came here to stuff my face!
What they don’t have you don’t need it now
What they do serve you’ll eat it somehow
What they don’t have you don’t need it now
Don’t need it now
Was a bountiful tray

STUCK JAR OF
CONTENTS YOU
CAN’T GET LID OFF
PARODY OF STUCK IN A MOMENT
YOU CAN’T GET OUT OF
I can open almost anything in this world
There’s nothing that I can’t unjam free
Or that I have found too hard
But I’m prying to find I’m in a parody
This long struggle puts my ego in agony
I never thought that I’d be schooled
But damn!
This won’t unscrew!
I’ve been at this
For an hour straight
Using all my weight
Those ears are gonna
Hear me swear, baby
I’ve got to pull myself together
This jar’s stuck with these contents
And the lid won’t come off
Don’t laugh cuz you’re making me bitter
Ain’t got no luck with these contents
Cuz the lid won’t come off
I will not forsake
The dollar for this thing
All my might was used
But nothing works
I’m left now with nothing
I am still undaunted
By the fight that’s fought by me
All this just for pickle spears
But it’s a prize I can eat
And you are such a tool
For laughing at me, too
You know it’s tough
And no force seems like enough
Oh, why...
Can’t I just get this open now?!
Why, oh why?!!
I’ve got to pull myself together
This jar’s stuck with these contents
And the lid won’t come off
Oh great, look at me now
Ain’t got no luck with these contents
Cuz the lid won’t come off
I’m all self-conscious I could weep
This bastard I’ll harm
When I throw it 50 feet
Iron pumping down at the gym hall
If word gets around
That I can’t open this at all!
I’ve got to pull myself together
This jar’s stuck with these contents
And the lid won’t come off
Don’t laugh cuz you’re making me bitter
Ain’t got no luck with these contents
Cuz the lid won’t come off
And if the fight’s not over
And if the die is cast
And if this lid won’t alter
I’ll just break this glass
And if the fight’s not over
And if the die is cast
And if this lid won’t alter
I’ll just break this glass
I’ll get those contents...
You bet your ass

MASTICATION
PARODY OF ELEVATION
Bite
Bite into the bun
Chew into that gum
I need you to masticate it here
What you put across your lips
From jerky
To chicken strips
Even Nibs
You masticate it so
Use your jaw
Show self control
If you try to swallow whole
Going down
Suffocation
Try, oh, try
To keep it under size
Or I fear that
You’ll just up and die
Oh, my!
Mastication!
A Mars
Any chocolate bar
You’ll jam it in your mouth
Maybe you can
Give those teeth a grind
Make your mouth
A mixing bowl
Like a warrior eaten by a troll
The goal is mastication
A hole
Into which I would extoll
Not cramming things in whole
Going down
Suffocation
Try, oh, try
To keep it under size
Or you’ll cut off
Your air supply
Abide!
Mastication!
Stop eating
Without giving it a few chews
Would keep your face
From turning blue
And require rescue
Asshole
Listen
I’m not being droll
I’m not here to just cajole
Like a clown
Edumacation
Try, oh, try
To keep it under size
Don’t want to have
To say goodbye
Comply!
Mastication!
Mastication!
Mastication!

WOK ON
PARODY OF WALK ON
You love the food at Buffet King
But no doggy bags that you can bring
You love the food at Buffet King
But no doggy bags that you can bring
Leaving ‘all that you can eat’ behind
And if you possess a wok
That would be a start
And if you just might
Happen to have some soya sauce
And if there are vegetables to hack
But if pork, beef, or chicken you lack
Ah, so...use prawns!
Wok on
Wok on
What you got we can heat it
Add some rice and then eat it
Wok on
Wok on
Stir fry tonight...
You’re losing your taste
For a place called Buffet King
A place where once upon a time
You were always seen
The menus are thrown away
A cooking nerd learns a new adage
You will only fry...
Only fry...
For freedom!
Wok on
Wok on
One I bought and rely on it
You’ll like it so try it
Wok on
Wok on
So?
Stir fry tonight?!
No more stomach aches
And for your wallet’s sake
It could only take so much
Wok on
Wok on
Home
Before you get dinner started
Go pick up some wontons
Home
You can’t say how much you’ve saved
By just eating here at home
Bid goodbye, Take Out Biz!
All the things it makes
You can even broil your steaks
What pan or pot
Can do so much?!!
Wok on!
Heave it inside!
You can just heave it inside!!!
All that you’ve rationed
All that you’ve baked
All that you’ve grilled
All that ground steak
All those fruits measured
All those lemon peels
All that you can heave inside
All those dry raisins
Is that a lime?
What’s that right there?!
Is that leftover cheese rind?
All that you see
All you can spare
All that will steam
We can heat it up
All of those beans
All you can grate
And whatever the heck
Is on that plate!

BITE
PARODY OF KITE
Stomach is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what caused this
I’ve a grenade inside
I’m a shade sensitive
And though I try to hold back
I cope but feel the acid
‘Cuz nausea
It sets in
I need some antacids
For the dinner within
I think I might blow
And I fear I can’t hold back anymore
I think I might blow
And you’ll find me here
At the toilet stall
I’m okay
I’ll be fine once I spew
I’m okay
Gimme a moment or two
Got to go cuz I’m gonna blow
Got to go now that the time
Has come around
Man...
I feel like I’m gonna die
I guess this is from the stir fry
A bummer
I can’t taste salty foods when I eat
Had a bite knowing I’ve Acid Reflux Disease
No wonder what’s gonna happen real soon
No wonder shit just happens to me
In the can
Be here a while
Goddamn!
I cede that Tarot Reader was right!
I’m okay
I’ll be fine once I spew
I’m okay
Gimme a moment or two
Got to go cuz I’m gonna blow
Got to go now that the time
Has come around
Man...
I feel like I’m gonna die
I guess
This is from that stir fry
Can still taste it
Sick so much
It feels like I’m wasted
Could use a breath mint
Must stop any bad scents
The last of your chocolate bar
A cough drop or a cigar
In due time
I’ll get diarrhea
Oh, viva la vida
Just great...
Viva la vida

IN A CHECKOUT AISLE
PARODY OF IN A LITTLE WHILE
In a checkout aisle
Surely there’s a line
In a checkout aisle I will stare
In a checkout aisle
Won’t hurt to get some s’mores
For the road, love
When you might have some bad breath
A pack of Certs will be there
Or some Halls...
Or a pocket comb...
Or some gummy bears
In a checkout aisle
Bags of Doritos™ with Nacho Cheese
Friday night slumming
At the Safeway™ with trainees
This girl...
This girl...
She’s...nine?
Well, I’m almost convinced
Convinced she was
A little girl
In teen disguise
When one asked her
Price of Spam™ he planned to buy
Man, she shoulda known
Well, that tin stays
In the checkout aisle
Roll down your shopping cart...
A man redeems today and buys
He has a coupon clipped for just that size
A big candy bar with chocolate that’s white
Drinks are on sale
So he picks up a Sprite™
Man, come on!
Now come on!
Let’s all move on!
Roll down your shopping cart
Quickly...quickly now
Roll down your shopping cart
Quickly...quickly now
Roll down your shopping cart
Quickly...quickly NOW!

MILD/HONEY
PARODY OF WILD HONEY
For today
We offer all the wings you can eat
We can dunk these:
Garlic honey
Or a warmth that’s teased
We would baste
We would baste our great chicken
We would baste
Right through the skin
You could order what you please
Mild/honey
And if you do share
There’s a fee
Mild/honey
Did I show you?
Did I show you even then?
Before you balk this time
Before your mind was made
Some get schooled, son
Order it ‘sweltered’
Order it ‘sweltered’ just a shade
Yes, we offer teriyaki
Mild/honey
You can order what you please
Mild/honey
Yeah, let’s throw in some iced tea
Mild/honey
Mild...?
Mild...?
Mild...
I'm still handing
I'm still handing fare left to eat
Are you still growing piles
With everyone shamed around you?
I tend for hours
Put hours at your stall
I know your stomach’s full
But you’re not human at all
If you do dare
Go with heat
Mild/honey
Don’t you take heat
Take heat, jeez?
Mild/honey
Yeah, bringing you all these

PIZZA BERTH™
PARODY OF PEACE ON EARTH
Pizza Berth™
Let’s go there now
I’m sick of all these food courts around
Sick of Sbarro’s
Sick of the chains
I’m sick of eating there again and again
So this time let’s go to
Pizza Berth™
When I threw up after eating sushi
That lunch special that I wolfed down’s
The last time I eat Japanese
So I hear it’s just half a block
And you’re welcome to concur
And if you concur we will take you
And it’s really not that far
And you can use your debit card
I can assert
Jesus!
We don’t have much time!
Got 20 minutes left to dine!
Pizza Berth™
A slice or two I like the sound
Although I gotta watch those pounds
Pizza Berth™
No burgers, fries
Temps my eyes nor satisfies
Like Pizza Berth™
I hunger for a slice of pie
But this mall yields no surprise
There is a dearth
Pizza Berth™
Check those toppings out
There’s a good ratio
All the folks I’m told rave on
About the dough
Prawns and sausages
Chicken, ham and feta
Their sauce is better
Than any pizzeria!
Jesus!
We don’t have much time!
Got 10 minutes left to dine!
Pizza Berth™
A slice or two I like the sound
Though I gotta watch those pounds
Pizza Berth™
Jesus!
I wish I weren’t so broke!
I’d order up a large Coke
Pizza Berth™
Man, we’re almost out of time
But this food is just so damn sublime
Pizza Berth™
Straight to my girth
Pizza Berth™
Pizza Berth™
Pizza Berth™
Pizza Berth™

WHEN YOU COOK
ALL WILL HURL
PARODY OF WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD
When you cook all will hurl
What new atrocity?
People get food poisoning
Or someone’s heart will seize
I eat with concession
Not sure this is stew
I range from insincere
To “this schlock
Will spell our doom!”
So I’ll die just to please you
Try to eat it and turn blue
But without skills
It’s just poo
Like Chef Boy-ar-dee
When you cook all will hurl
When one bite costs us our pulses
And we’re dying in one big sweep
When you’ve wrought evil
So extensive
Gives even Death the creeps
When there's all kinds of pathos
And everyone is talking shame
You don't even think now do you
We’re having cooked briquet
So I’ll die just to please you
Try to eat this awful goo
But we’ll be ill real damn soon
Life ending ‘cuisine’
When you cook all will hurl
Won’t temp fate any longer
Couldn’t taste any wronger
Won’t temp fate any longer
I think we should flee
When you cook all will hurl
I’m in the dining room
Kitchen full of smoke
I think that you
And your recipe book
Will make all of us choke
Help me
Help me
I’m begging, please
Help me
Help me
Don’t torture me

CHEW PORK
PARODY OF NEW YORK
You’ll chew pork with some onions
And way too many oysters
You’ll chew pork even with a friend
Who must make all kosher choices
Choices without bones
Choices at home
Choices for that roast smell
Choices that would braise well
You’ll chew pork
You always seem to chew pork
You’ll chew pork served real hot
Man, you could eat a hundred
You can’t resist a nice ham hock
Got a bag of Pepperoni
Hog’s so good
You’ll fill your face
Hog’s so good
Nothing ever goes to waste
Chew pork
You’ve always got a taste
To chew pork
Chew pork
Chew pork
You’ll chew pork even if you get
A really bad health bill
Doctor tells you,
“No more bacon!”
But it’s down to Porkchopville
Chew pork
Chew pork
Chew pork
Chew pork
Chew pork
Chew pork
A deli you’ve been coming to for years
Feel like they know your face
They got some Hereford
Saddleback
Yorkshire
Wild Boar
They even got Potbelly
Tenderloin end
Skirt & back ribs
Ham centre cut
Even side rips
For a stew
They’ll happily serve me and you
Beef is where it’ll cost you
Chew pork
At baseball parks they got it all
To feed your porcine vices
While they might not have pickled snout
Still it’s all desirous
The air is juicy, thick & rife
With that smell of grilled hog
So you’ll advance sometime this life
In the queue for a hotdog
You got enough to get a beer for that thirst
But you really want a bratwurst
You’ll chew pork
Chew pork
Chew pork
Chew pork
Chew pork
In the illness that you’re feeling
When Trichinosis has its way
You hear a voice whimpering
You’re hungry now
Chew pork
Chew pork
Chew pork

GREASE
PARODY OF GRACE
Grease
It’s my one shame
Makes food un-lame
Clogged up my veins
And heart attacks came
Grease
From the Sandwich of Earl
To the land of Scots
Who’s Fried Mars made my world
But now I must watch what I eat
Must stay clear of wings
Grease brings goodness
To everything
Grease
So how long, Doc?
I’m not just asking ad hoc
Are my arteries blocked?
Will you prescribe some pharma?
Pharma?
Will you prescribe some pharma?
When heart disease lurks
Your ass is in a sling
Grease seems to be
In everything
Grease
Calories go straight to my hips
No being strapped to an IV drip
No stops or skips between EKG blips
I’m worried my world’s in crappy condition
And since I’ve shirked
My damn addiction
What’s left is stark
My hunger clings
Because grease is duly cut
From everything
Grease is duly cut
From everything
Grease brings goodness
To everything
