Caraway Muffin
Wow, John. I don't know what to say. This is so...deep...for a Shallow Thought Wednesday guest post. And I never thought of you as a poet before. Or a Led Zeppelin fan. EL
Caraway Muffin (D@L Tribute: Stairway to Heaven Joynt. Dedicated to all the D@L lyric quoters.)
There’s a lady who’s sure
All the fritters are sold
So she’s buying a caraway muffin
When she eats it she knows
All the vegans will pose
For a picture with her near the oven
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And she’s buying a caraway muffin
There’s a sign on the wall
That says "please eat it all"
But you know crumb signs do have two meanings ...
Rachael Ray, who’s the cook,
Confessed all of her thoughts were Ms. Stewart’s
Ooh, it makes me hunger
Ooh, it makes me hunger
There’s a feeling I get
When my French toast is wet
And my spirit is single malt Islay
In my kitchen I’ve seen
Clouds of smoke on the ceiling
And the voices of children complaining
Ooh, and it makes me hunger
Ooh, and it makes me hunger
And it’s whispered by June
That she’s dining at noon
On whatever it is that’s in season
And a new day will dawn
With a pit in the lawn
Where we barbecue bocas and eggplants
If there’s a thistle in your salad
Don’t be alarmed now
It’s just a spring green from the Whole Foods
Yes there are quick stores you can buy from
But in the long run
It’s worth the extra time at Wegman’s
And it makes me hunger
Aw, uh, oh
Your snack is hummus but they won’t know
In case you can’t go
To Jeanie’s party in Hampden
Dear lady, can you sear the pork roast
And did you boast
You captured yeast in whispering wind
And as we grind our own just so
To keep E. coli cases low
There talks a lady we all know
Who has a cable TV show
Her Cuisinart is solid gold
And if you don’t skimp on the lard
And use real butter in the dough
Then roll it up into a ball
You’ll make the perfect dinner roll
And she’s buying a caraway … muffin

As I read this, I heard it in Bill Murray's voice.

If I read this backwards in a mirror, will I find satanic references?
Yet another amazing STW, jl.
