Rhyme that didn’t quite make the cut for this comic:
“By the pound, I’ve overpaid! My kisses deserve a better grade…of prime rib — USDA!”

SCENE: A woman inspecting a cut of meat in her kitchen.
WOMAN (thinking): A butcher’s love is red and juicy!
WOMAN (thinking again): But I’m such a silly goosy...
WOMAN (thinking again): Settling for a man of meat..
WOMAN (thinking again): Whose beef is such a tiny treat!

When I find myself all alone
I call my butcher on the phone
And in his arms I twist n’ moan
as he slips me prime T-bone!
Yumm! Pass the potato!
If you would be filled for life
Never pick a butcher for a wife
For his meat is thinly slice
Now the mailman has the package, he rings twice
“This isn’t such a cut choice
My displeasure I would love to voice
The option unavailable anymore
Meat’s no longer processed in store!”
Most grocery stores no longer have an in store butcher. They get their meat prepacked from elsewhere. Hence the above suggestion.

I love the reader rhymes. Thanks, guys. Anyone have anymore?
I’ve heard the butcher was worth a try;
that he never failed to satisfy.
Thinking he might be quite a winner,
I soon invited him to dinner.
I asked him what he’d like to eat
He said “Oh, baby! I’ll bring my meat”
So the table was set and the wine uncorked,
but he never showed up and I was left unporked.
