Dr Hannibal Lecter Entertains.

The little pig is glad to die
to make bacon for you or I
or gammon for folk richer than us
its liver is?  Well'...delicious!

But a bigger pig, or so I've heard said,
makes tastier morsels when it is dead
roast, wrapped in leaves of the green vine
marinated, in old port wine...

Do try a sweetbread, best butchered chaste,
one mustn't let protein, go to waste,
come, come, sir, did you just squeak
believe me, it's all tongue in cheek...

Perhaps you've heard similar sir
in your travels abroad, er...
wasn't it Borneo or some such land?
fainting? Poor chap, here, take this hand.
