Some eat it plain, some with spice
But everyone agrees its very nice
Some say with soy sauce its pretty good
Some like it smoked over hickory wood
Although it has died when it arrives
The meal and the the party comes alive
The people flock around to get some for their bowl
They begin to fight over the crackle, it gets way out of control
Although its very cold the oven is hot
This nourishing meal for vego's its not
In the middle of winter down here in the south
We are fussy about the food we put in our mouth
But we are lucky to get some on our fork
Its rich luxurious and crispy, moist and fabulously fatty . . . pork
