SPAM AND EGGS

ALT The chicken or the egg: which came first?
The answer remains a mystery
It’s had great minds immersed
Throughout our fowled-up history

Perhaps this should be mentioned
To a fowl who’s in the know
The rooster could be questioned
Since he’s the chicken’s beaux

Perhaps he’ll try to fool us
And lead us far astray
Perhaps he’ll cock-a-doodle us
To send us on our way

I think we’ll never ever learn
The first one to have made it
Did the chicken take the very first turn
Then found the egg and laid it

Why fill our minds with useless spam
It’s just cocky chicken patter
Other than chickens, no one gives a damn,
As it really doesn’t matter
