Advice to a twice beaten Gravy Salesman
---------------------------------------

Dedust your suit, O goodly merchant
You have your wares to distribute
Fear not the anti-gravy bands,
your recipe they convolute

Of melted fat and onion shutes
I sing your earned praise!
To dip my straw in your gravy vat
would lift me from my deep malaise...

Remeber now, sweet liquid brown,
you're the captain of this gravy boat
Sail away in rivers deep
with fried potato fiends to smote

And if the the cons befall the pros
recall an alliance we did define,
Alas you are the gravy king,
and I your ketchup concubine!

We shall prevail through thick and thin,
all time will bear our seal,
but act with haste, good salesman, haste,
Lest our message doth congeal!
