April 2nd





LIBERTY, SWEET LIBERTY!

Kindly camouflage thyself, I pray, and let me be
Tempting churn-ed chime! Oh tantalizing dairy bell!
Liberty, sweet Liberty, I dare not feast on thee

Your fermented ring resounds with power, steadily
Steadily you change, though, to a dark and solemn knell
Kindly camouflage thyself, I pray, and let me be

Softer than a pesto spread, oh, smoother than a brie
Any worthy bread would wear you proud, and wear you well
Liberty, sweet Liberty, I dare not feast on thee

I could sink my eager teeth into the cream, you see
Ride I could on gluttony's nightmarish carousel
Kindly camouflage thyself, I pray, and let me be

Dear old Father Franklin, connoisser de margarieen,
Yielded to indulgence, died a sad triglyceride shell
Liberty, sweet Liberty, I dare not feast on thee

Tempt me not, oh greasy gong! You'll be the death of me!
Cease your call, for my cholesterol is shot to hell
Kindly camouflage thyself, I pray, and let me be
Liberty, sweet Liberty, I dare not feast on thee
