I think , therefore I am,
I’d like you to think of me
As your tin of spam.
Bits of old belly fat,
Scraps of old,chewed -up
Ham
If you picked me up and met me
Would you care
From whence I came,
From where I am ?
I doubt it
You’d be hungry and tired
I’d be your last resort
Yet I’d fill and sustain you
Never give my keyed-off can lid
A thought
Always there, fricassed or fried,
The power of spam
Should never be denied
That’s what friends do
Layer mortars of love
Build brick walls of
Support
I’ll be your tin of spam
I’ll hold your hand
Tight
With all of my might
Just a thought
I think
Therefore I am
Your tin of spam
