Russian Roulette






Every time you sit down to enjoy a little meal
you're playing Russian roulette with your spinach or your veal.
That peanut butter sandwich may contain a real surprise,
a salmonella flavoring that knocks out both your eyes.
Our food is canned and frozen while no one is too alert
about contamination from a peck or more of dirt.
The FDA is absent or is somnolent at best
and seems to be reluctant about running any test.
The hygiene in the factories that process all our food
would alarm a billy goat and make him come unglued.
The wages are just awful and no English there is spoke
and if you saw their fingernails you probably would choke.
Adulterated foodstuffs come direct from overseas
in everything from chocolate to a slice of cheddar cheese.
Surrounded by this menace, there's not much that we can do
except to wear a blindfold when we order Irish stew.
