Burned on a Saturday Night

Hot milk – steamed bliss

Running out of that marvel machine – hiss…

Comes from a cow, but don’t tell me how

You make it sound only like so much… well

From boy to grown man, is there anything better?

The smoothness of cream, the sweetness of butter

A love affair that began at state fairs

4H you are the one true god

Melatonin, melatone-down my life

It’s a mad mad mad mad cow disease

To keep a secret so incomprehensible

complex drink full of math and chemistry

whipped and added, frothed and chilled

boiled, putrefied, curdled and milled

Romance of lactose, a sweet caress on the tongue

For that frothy Freudian, my tastes yearn

Yet… wait, my lid? Is it not on quite right—sigh

And now what’s there to show? Second degree burns.
