Blame it on the meat

I tried to seduce my sister-in-law with a black pearl the size of a fist
and then when that failed I went to the black market on eBay
They wouldn’t haven’t it, wouldn’t broach even curiosity’s risks

We can’t be having this!
The last three meals were all proteins and spices!
Give us back our carbohydrates and sugars and fat!

You can’t tell children to give things a try
with just a history book in one arm and a glint in your eye

You can’t proscribe paintballing to scribes
You can’t proscribe party tricks to warring tribes

You’ve been here before outside of the current tour
Then with fear
And now a painted-on tear

***

When telling children to give things a try
Act dejected swear defeat and wrap it all in a sigh

Now take your sigh and Sunday roast and wrap these two in a lie
