It's an awesome sight! The Pork Chop Plants
Are blazing and the smells of the burning plants
Are thick in the air. In fact, the hungry militia
Have taken to pulling ribs or chops
Off the plants, smoothering the flames,
And munching on the steaming veggie chops.
The farmers are furious. They try to call the police,
Then they realize the police are already here,
Chewing and offering them steaming slabs
Of roast pig plant. Look, over there,
Someone has bought bottles of wine,
and cold lemonade. I'm being offered
An ice cold bottle of the local beer,
Phlingo. Thank you, sir. Very tasty.
Here's a new development folks. See to the left,
Farmers and militia are singing the Pharleem
Version of The Whiffenpoof Song, together,
Arms around each others' shoulders.
Some of the militia are asking their leader
If they can set fire to the Vegetarian Steak
Bushes. You won't believe this folks,
But there's a farmer who is setting fire
To his own Steak Plant! Could I have another Phlingo, please?
Thank you. Now they are working together
Setting up long tables with fresh salads,
Horse radish, steak sauce - and OH!
Is that cold watermelon! Quartets
Continue to spring up, now singing Pharleem
Phloke shlongs. ~ HIC! ~ Say, fellow,
Are there any of those ribs left?
And the camera man asks could
You give him one of the steaks -
With the flames out please?
A militia office Is trying to say somehing.
He says if you're In the neighborhood, drop on by! *HIC!*
Shay,I know that shong. Why don't we go join 'em?
Bring the camera and the mike...grab a piece of watermelon...
