What a rich and grand dinner party here:
Look, this jug of wine, brewed with the
Human perms and blood, is brought
By the Vines; this huge plate of tongues
Of the sexiest women, is presented
By the Crows; this is a bowl of fried penises
Of teenage boys, looking like wishbones
Of young eagles. There are also well-baked
Nipples of virgins; barbecued buttocks of
Kings and emperors; steamed brains of
Nobel prizewinners; pickled hearts of poets
And painters; prepared respectively by
Mr Hog, Ms Cucumber, Dr Rice, etc
Yeah, they are all homemade dishes; none
Of them is a GMO, nor stem-grown or cloned
