“The meat grinder’s for grinding meat,”
Say all the engineers,
But you see, YOU’RE made out of meat,
And that is why you fear…
The meat grinder! It’s coming soon,
And then it won’t be leaving!
It’ll grind you in the afternoon,
And in the early evening!
The meat grinder’s got gears that grind
And robot legs for walking,
It’s sleek and new and real streamlined,
With pieces interlocking!
It can’t be stopped! With blades that chop
And horrid clicks and whirs,
The meat grinder will never stop!
It’ll never be deterred!
It’s eaten many families,
It grinds them into paste!
One day soon it’ll come for you
And grind up your whole face!
