There is more bacon than will fit in my pan
or I must use the bigger pan
Since it is not non stick
and it’s not easy to reach
I’m lazy
I will have to make two batches
While the pan heats up
I wash the black berries
so they are ready
There is left over pineapple
that I set out
I’m hungry
Bacon looks fatty and delicious
It is cut thin and is very nutritious
I drain the grease as I cook the bacon
Smelling its odor lets you know what I’m makin
The ends start to wrinkle
and the length begins to shorten
The grease begins to bubble and spirt
My spatulas scrapes the pan
to free the meaty sections
This pig was lean
What state was he from?
What did he eat?
You are what you eat,
you know. It’s not just food,
it was alive and breathing
This bacon has a story to tell
There are many stories
And each story is fine
We can stop and listen
if we have the time
But our time is short here
Our time is precious
Bacon looks fatty and delicious
It is cut thin and is very nutritious
I drain the grease as I cook the bacon
Smelling its odor lets you know what I’m makin
