The Hand that Feeds

 

Don’t ever bite the hand that feeds or

it’ll serve you things most foul.

Green and slimy things and centipedes

that will make you want to howl!

 

H-O-o-O-o-O-o-O-W-L

 

Should you ever try to eat your fill

from a hand with a mind its own,

you might get a mouthful of something

that’ll make you want to groan.

 

H-O-o-O-o-O-o-O-W-L

 

The hand might feed you some nasty things:

like vegetables—rotten not fresh.

That’s how you know it’s not your muscles

writhing beneath your flesh.

 

H-O-o-O-o-O-o-O-W-L

 

If it’s even food it’s trying to serve—

of which, I have my doubts.

I find myself saying, pleading,

Please! Not the Brussels sprouts!

 

H-O-o-O-o-O-o-O-W-L

 

Don’t ever bite the hand that feeds

for it might feed you guts or a brain.

If you need some fiber it might

force some wood down against the grain.

 

H-O-o-O-o-O-o-O-W-L

 

Don’t ever bite the hand that feeds or

it’ll serve you things you just can’t stand.

Since it won’t behave I know I’ll have to—

there’s no choice—I’ll have to eat the hand!

 

H-O-o-O-o-O-o-O-W-L

 

With the bones and nails, the hand

is quite the disgusting meal.

The fingers claw all the way down

plus there’s all the pain you have to feel.

 

H-O-o-O-o-O-o-O-W-L

 

 

Don’t ever eat the hand that feeds,

or you’ll eat your meals off a hook.

What’s that at the end of it?

It’s gross! It’s coming! I can’t even look!

 

H-O-o-O-o—
