| TIGER, tiger, burning bright |
|
| In the Bayou in the night, |
|
| What immortal nose that witness |
|
| Could naught but smell thy corndogness? |
|
|
| At what distant tailgate seek |
5 |
| Burnt the dog of which you reek? |
|
| On what grill did he conspire? |
|
| To burn the casing in the fire? |
|
|
| And what shoulder and what art |
|
| Could rend an odor worse than... well, you know? |
10 |
| And when thy scent at last it rose, |
|
| What dread hand covered whose hurt nose? |
|
|
| What the batter? what the stick? |
|
| Made this corndog stench so thick? |
|
| What the charcoal? What the grill? |
15 |
| Create the odor to make us ill? |
|
|
| When the stench unwashed by beers, |
|
| Bade use water heaven with our tears, |
|
| Did He smile His work to see? |
|
| Did He who made the rose make thee? |
20 |
|
| Tiger, tiger, burning bright |
|
| In the bayou in the night, |
|
|
What immortal nose that witness
