Remedying a Defect
About a year and a half ago, I posted a parody of Mademoiselle from Armentieres that's been nettling me ever since, because it had no real ending.
Over the past forty-eight hours, a couple of couplets have come to mind that might remedy this shortcoming (how embarrassing is it that it should take forty-eight hours! Such is the downside of ADHD):
What is the meal that always cheers?
Barbecue!
What is the dish that has no peers?
Barbecue!
Butcher a half a dozen steers
And eat till it’s coming out your ears—
Icky, sticky barbecue!
This is the dining protocol:
Barbecue!
Better for you than vitriol—
Barbecue.
Gobble the bad cholesterol—
And do it with lots of alcohol:
Easy, greasy barbecue!
Brisket of beef and baby back
Barbecue;
Succulent, sweet and carbon black
Barbecue;
Make it a feast, and not a snack,
And eat till you get a heart attack—
Polishing off the bill of fare
Will probably mean Intensive Care—
Not that you'll feel a side effect
That angioplasty can't correct—
Ooey, gooey barbecue!

Using angioplasty in a lyric is like using peristalsis. So satisfying!

Well, home theater, I can't tell you how satisfying it is to have my likeability validated by one of your indeterminate sex.
Alas, if possible gives a last there on your blog is something I can't really predict right now, but I'm sure you understand.
So a hug back at you, making two hugs in all!
