…Lunch Songs

The following comprise the crowning achievement of our efforts over here at lunchpoems. A tasteful collection of choice cuts for your plattenspieler, songs about eats and eating, the ingredients of which are being revealed here for the first time. Before, shrouded in secrecy and innuendo, much speculation went into what made it taste so good, and why we were still dancing. The answer was cinnamon. (get it)
