Come in little cans
had a lot of fans
in the army infantry
***
Some people hate
but a lot of kids ate it
growing up near Waikiki
***
Mama said,
“It’s good for you”
She would serve it with a grin
And it’s not surprising
after eating it all our life,
to be in the shape were in
***
Comes in a can
kind of tastes like ham
you don’t want to see
it made
***
We ate a lot of it
and started to love it
fried up with
rice and egg
***
It was quite a feat squeezing
Hawaiian steak
into that little tin
since i left home
sure miss mom
but i don’t miss the indigestion
***
Talking about Spam …
***
Slice, dice it, fry it up
and spice it
It made me what I am
***
Spam, Spam, Spam
***
When I go back
to look up my old friends
in Honolulu
We pops some beers
and eat a lot of
Spamalulu stew
***
Mama said …

Poopeye’s hapless naming and a possible Zander Claus sighting brought me to this spam post. Fried spam was a staple at the table. Great song.

Can’t seem to reply direct so I’ll reply here!
Thank you for sharing, t. Sounds like music would’ve made for some great memories growing up. That words can bring a smile to someone, a stranger or not, is a wonderful thing to know. And I think very much part of the magic of the blogosphere. My brother drew the long straw where musicality is concerned in our family; I can attest that a simple compliment, or many, goes a long way!
More spam-like posts in future?! 👍

Hey e. Sorry for the confusion. I kept changing which song I was going to post until I had re-edited the note into oblivion. Nevertheless, thanks. My whole point was that I would post another next week.
