fat mans party
i went to a fat man's party
and o what a spread!
plates piled high
with foods from 'round the world
why, there's a smoked turkey
steamin' and ready to eat,
fried chicken for all and
roasted beast covered with gravy
and over here grilled fillet of swordfish
boy! this fat man
sure put on a spread -
vegetables from gardens
all freshly grown...
there were carrots long and straight
tomatoes in every different color
and potatoes in white and red,
there were snap beans all green
mixed herbs for flavors so wild,
i tasted some okra fried so deep
and the peas i'll never forget
the fat man had a party
and his bar was filled so full -
bourbons from kentucky
vodka from russia
wines from california and chile
i sampled the beer made in small batches
and waited to toast with french cognac
the fat man had a party
but i was the only one that showed
his generosity was overwhelming
while my appetite just barely glowed
the fat man was a sad man
he just wanted to see happy smiles
with feasts off of beasts
and drinks for all for awhile...
desserts of chocolate
whipped cream piled high like everest
and chocolate sprinkles to make you laugh
the fat man had a party
and nobody came but me
i tried to keep up with him
but i failed so miserably
the fat man lost his joy
at knowing no one would arrive,
the fat man while chewing celery
celebrating that he was alive -
alive with only his appetite
to comfort his loneliness,
but the fat man invited me...
