My grandma used to say
That vegetables get in the way
I didn’t know what she meant
I looked at her and off I went
Now all grown up and eating right
I cooked some cabbage for tonight
I added some beef for flavor
I wanted my mouth to really savor
Mushrooms and tomatoes and spices too
Put it in the crock-pot and went to do
Some visiting an auction and Al during this day
Bought a big crock and saw Al in a bad way
I knew that I had supper cooking on low
I wanted to eat out but was low on dough
I walked into my house and I thought what is that
It smelled like someone had killed a cat
The stench I inhaled made me pretty sure
That I think I am going to vomit and hurl
I used a clothespin and plugged my nose
As I knew the cooking had a ways to go
When the cooking was done I went to look
I carefully lifted the lid and took
The ladle and stirred it very well
The aroma was not setting off any memory bells
I thought what the heck I will give it a try
I poured some in a pot and closed my eyes
Ok, I did it, I ate and then took a smoke
I felt my tummy rumbling as it began to bloat
I now know what my grandma was referring too
The little toot toots that make you say pew
