Monkey Food
From your fried chicken, to any kind of pie, I miss your cooking, and that's no lie,
to say this food is garbage, is a compliment, i'd rather eat, my own pocket lint,
since you're not here, i've got to eat this trash, from chicken fried fish, to turkey tater Hash,
i've lost a little weight, we don't get much sweets, except semi-rotten friut, and petrified beets,
I don't mean to complain, I try to gag it down, are scrambled eggs, supposed to be dark brown,
the Biscuits are so hard, I dropped one on the tile, it made such a noise, they checked it for a file,
the meats are not bad, if you like suprise, enough hair for a wig, and a half dozen flies,
next is the ham, how do i Explain, not as much meat, as there is vein,
they have this stuff, they call it mac and cheese, i've taste better stuff, after I sneeze,
nothing is cooked with fire, everything is boiled, it covers up the taste, after it is spoiled,
oh yeah, the pancakes, served Nice and cold, covered in syrup, with just a hint of mold,
I could go on and on, but it's time to eat, got to hurry down there, and find an empty seat,
if you've not heard it, i'll say it again, all this can be yours, courtesy the state pen.
