OBILYW...

Flaming Eye of the Chiliman



The other day I phoned a friend
I shan't be usin' names
"Not alright, I tell ya, Gee,
my eyeball's shootin' flames!"

"Owie Owie Owie Oh
Chiliman I love ya so
tell me what has happened though
i know you will be well"

"While chopping jalapenos
without the proper guise
washed my hands both 'fore and aft'
but much to my demise~
I went to pop my contact in
and soon would realize
a flaming side of poppers
and a sizzling batch of fries!"

My heart was feeling something
which it could not minimize
I knew I wasn't faking
and it took me by surprise
I felt the sting, his suffering
the truth beneath my lies,
still I layered up and told him
"I've got onions in my eyes".

"Woe is me and oh so woe
Geegirl how I like you so
please tell me what has happened though
I know you will be well"

"While chopping sweet vidalias
without the proper guise
washed my hands before and aft'
but much to my demise~
Can't blame me now for hoping
I could do without the lies
but I'm just two bloomin' onions and
I need to guard my eyes."

And with the sharin' of the troubles
and the things that cause us pain
there's comfort in the knowing,
for what else have we to gain?
If I lose you then tomorrow,
since today I have been real
ain't it best to love and lose
than hold back what I feel?"

And when everything which must be added
is put in the chiliman's crock
a 5 to 1 handwash of water and bleach
is best to avoid pepper shock.
