    Hello Everyone, it's time for poetry
    I submit to you the following it's entitled:
    "I Eat with Gusto, Damn! You Bet"
    By one Jonathan Richman.

    When I eat like I do it,
    I use not fork nor spoon
    No grace or culture to it
    When I call my own tune.

    For I eat with gusto, damn you bet
    A regular K-9 cruncher
    Except truth be told I'm sloppier yet
    Than many a dog food muncher
    I eat a pound I eat a ton
    And no there ain't much I cuts up
    And while I'm having merry fun
    Bystanders puke their guts up.

    The FBI sent someone by
    Who handles health affairs
    I had not finished my cream pie
    When he chanced up the stairs
    Why did he turn the other way?
    Why did he leave so quick?
    Will he come back another day?
    Did something make him sick?

    I eat with gusto damn you bet
    A regular doggie diner
    "No don't bring me napkins waiter sir,
    Just bring some trash can liner."

    Whilst wandering by a juice bar
    I spyed a tempting beverage
    Since I would have been last in line
    I used my fearsome leverage
    For in my pocket was some food
    Which I took from the wrapper
    The patrons wathced it being chewed
    And of course headed for the crapper.

    For I eat with gusto damn you bet
    For gusto I'm the boss
    For yay my nose it is in the salad
    And lo my chin it is in the sauce
    I eat with gusto damn you bet
    We're sailing around the cape
    "Keel-haul him," said the Bosun
    "There must be no escape."

    One sunny day in Paris an elegant cafe
    A phone call there a phone call here
    And the gendarmes took me away

    I said "qu'est-ce qui se passe ici"
    I said " mais qu'est-ce que c'est"
    They said "Such eating it is criminal
    And crime it does not pay."

    For I eat with gusto damn you bet.
    My banner yay unfurled
    My shirt is covered with mustard
    And my hair with ketchup curled

    Goodby to Egypt, Greece and Rome
    The ancient world goodbye.
    May squalor be my summer home
    And filth be my neck tie.

    For I eat with gusto damn you bet.
    Uh, And Uh, I eat with gusto damn you bet
    My country tis of thee
    I eat for social progress
    I eat for victory

    Somebody died who watched me eat
    In a restaurant one spell
    He woke up and saw me eating beans
    And knew that he'd gone to hell

    For Uh, "He eats with gusto damn we bet."
    They're calling from the south
    They want to stop my gusto
    They want to close my mouth
    "You eat with gusto, yeah that's great
    Now let us off this bus."
    Wait a minute I haven't finished eating up stuff yet.
    "We'll call you, don't call us."
