Here stands the famed chefMicrophone instead of knifeHow his life has changed
To the hecklersHe says, I've got the mic now.Bitches, what you got?
This face is myFrankenstein monster face andHow I look when tasered
Sad clown on the stageWaiting for foie gras, dumplingsAnd the check to clear
So whose the assholeThat just put the SuperglueOn my slappin' hand?
The writer in autumnJust wants to make one thing clear:Richman is a cunt
No haiku can sayWhat beauty there is when theChef breaks into song
Yeah, it's a sweet gigBeing paid to ramble onAbout chicken ass
