When thine enemies see the fearsome bird popping its pop-up thermometer
Who will deny the predmominanter
of moods
Hail thy waving snooooooood.

dry or brined and deep fried too
Thank you Jesus for this food
Thank you to those who are not rude
Pass the biscuits for I must sop
The succulent gravy of freedom, every drop.
