From Mad Magazine . . . Years Ago!

How is it I can remember this from the late 60's/early 70's and can't remember what I need from the store when I get there?

To the tune of Downtown, "with apologies to Petula Clark".

When you eat meat
But hate the meat that you're eating,
Then you've surely got . . .
Ground Round

It's so unnerving
When they're constantly serving
In your favorite spot . . .
Ground Round

It could be called a chopped steak,
Salisbury or beef patty
No matter what it's called
It's always overcooked and fatty

What can you do?

Go up to your waiter there
Loudly pound on your table
Stand up on your chair, and shout

Ground Round! Always you're giving me
Ground Round! Always you're feeding me
Ground Round! Why must it always be
Ground Round . . .
Ground Round . . .
Ground Round . . .
Ground Round . . .

Mark,

This is waaaayyyy too funny! As I read it, I'm hearing Petula singing the lovely ode to Ground Round.

Thanks for giving me a laugh!
