When I was young I used to wait <br />On master and hand him his plate <br />Pass him the bottle when he got dry <br />And brush away the blue-tail fly <br />Chorus <br />Jimmy pop popcorn, and I don't care <br />Jimmy pop popcorn, and I don't care <br />Jimmy pop popcorn, and I don't care <br />My master's gone away <br /> <br />Conagra buys commercial time on Television, <br />Conagra sells popcorn to the masses, <br />Conagra makes its butter flavored popcorn through a hodge-podge of chemicals <br />That does not come from a cow. <br />Ethanol comes from corn and other vegetation. <br />The masses do consume a lot of corn, <br />We have corn in our sodas, ketchup, cereals, and snacks to name of few sources, <br />We will, in the future, be fueling our vehicles with corn, <br />Conagra will be in the drivers’ seat, they could own many a fuel station. <br />Corn, the mainstay of Mesoamerican indigenous people, will rise again. <br />Conagra will be a cornucopia of American life. <br />Orville Redenbacher could’ve not thought that corn would be that big. <br /> <br />(12-21-2007)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jiffy-pop-popcorn-and-i-don-t-care/
