Analysis of The Dangerous Lunch
Xavier Constantinos de la Rosa 1973 (Berlin)
They said it was safe
They said it was delicious
Crunch, crunch, crunch
Positively malicious
Down to the chewy center
Chewy and moist
It's taste is sour and rotten
Upon me this lunch was foist
My dry heaves turn to wet
An uncontrollable torrent
Intestines wrenched and ruined
The stench is simply abhorrent
Ocular blood vessels bursting
Lungs filling with vomit
Yelp is not to be trusted
I will be avenged...
