| Too Many Biscuits Not Enough Ham by � iwalkwiththewolf Standin' in the warm kitchen, smellin' the flavors of ma's good cookin' Wrappin' myself in the biscuit dough, to bake till brown in the oven Anticipatin' the taste, my whole body feelin' healthy and safe Waitin', just waitin' for pa to get home from the fields Seein' jam to go with the ham Wantin' biscuits all slathered with jam Meltin' like the butter there in the bowl Biscuits and ham is good for the soul. Sittin' at ma's table, sayin' grace to the Lord Tryin' to be patient, but it's, oh, so hard Then eatin' ma's biscuits, with jam and with ham Lovin' this feastin' on biscuits, ham and jam Biscuits and ham can't be beat and I'm Gettin' more than my share to eat Growin' alarmed as the food disappears Bein' embarrassed by my own tears I'm worse than the pig who gave us the ham Not as good as the berries from which came the jam Lovin' the biscuits, the best that there am But there's too many biscuits and not enough ham! jmm copyright 2002 all rights reserved |
