Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 46
I had been sitting under a tree waiting for enlightenment.Turns out all I had to do was open up this thread to find the above verses. Laughter is a worthy path, and you folks tend the path well.To the tune of
LUCKENBACH TEXAS
(written by Chips Morman, sung by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, and any MOR/country/legion/wedding band that I've ever seen or been a part of in the neck of the woods where I grew up)

There're only two things in life that make it worth doin'
It's teeth sharpened up good and fence-jumpin' humans
I don't need my mane in the marquee lights
I got my jaws and a jumper in my sights.
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of lunch

Chorus:
Let's eat a barenaked Buddhist on his way to Nirvana through the zoo
His transcendental quest has got us feeding
Like our cousins back in the jungle do
But he's a scrawny old fella, with crunchy patellas
And hardly no meat on his frame, toss him back over the cage
I ain't eating vegan again

Oh, baby it's not as interesting
As chewing on some other things and anyway
These fibii are choking me
And you could bite on that gristly thigh all day
We been so busy spitting up all those bones
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of lunch

Let's eat a barenaked Buddhist on his way to Nirvana through the zoo
His transcendental quest has got us feeding
Like our cousins back in the jungle do
But he's a scrawny old fella, with crunchy patellas
And hardly no meat on his frame, toss him back over the cage
I ain't eating vegan again
