Spam I Am

~*Marge Tindal*~

I Am Spam - Spam I Am
I come to you in a zip-top can
You can eat me - Spam I Am

But you had better eat me quick
for I've not long to linger
Sandwich me with some mayo
or eat me with your fingers
You can eat me with a pickle
or with Dijon if you're fickle

Spam I Am - it seems to me
is just what I would want to be
Spam in a can or Spam in a pan
delighting connoisseurs of taste
right down to the very last nibble
without a bite to waste

Spam I Am - and Spam I Be
Just not in your mailbox
illegally !

Oh I adore just how you write
read you morning, noon or night
have to laugh, have to cry
probably from Spam in my eye
but I think, you're on the brink
and a pun will come along
so watch out, {I won't shout}
but hug me if I'm wrong
but just in case a line or two
brings a generous "bong"
let me know, I'll get in the row
to ribble those that will take the nibble
of Marge's Spamming Show...[and I'm gone...]

Marge,
one dish, two dish
may you get your wish
rite of spam how very cute
eating spam could make life moot
I would not eat it on a train
I would not eat it in the rain
not in a boat
or with a coat
upon my tongue
it isn't fun
eating spam cannot be done
I would not eat deer's old spam
would not could not... spam I am.
but I could go some vegemite
yummy, yummy all the night


Lolol   Hehe.!
Marge you are soooo funny

Marge, this is the greatest, most touching testimonial to the greatness that is Spam that I have ever seen. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes, which is not good because it's making my spam sandwich soggy. I will never forget you for this, MArge. There will be a special cloud reserved in Heaven with your name on it for creating this literary masterpiece. I'm too choked up to go on. I'm sorry...thank you, Marge

Okay, so you know that I am laughing of course but could we maybe get some brussel sprouts on the side with this one?  Now that would make the perfect meal.  Yeah, I know, I just let it out as to what is my favorite food of all time and that is not putting down spam at all because I too love a good spamming on a Fluffy piece of bread and covered in that white stuff. (yeah, the mayonaise)

Marge,
I really like your poem of Spam!
I really liked it Spam I am!
I could read it in a car
or on a bus or in a bar!
Or in my house, or on a train,
out on the street,
or on a plane!
I could read it in a boat,
but I won't put it down my throat!
I really like your poem of Spam,
But I won't eat it, Spam I am!

(Dr. Suess would love you!)

Well, I found this quite archived
Thought I'd try to bring it alive
And to thank that BloomingRose
a little late, do you suppose ?
But what the heck
it's perfectly sane
to LOVE THAT SPAM
of the infamous name~

I'm just having a little phunny time here today~
You people REALLY should go archiving sometime~
