Please no propane for this island boy.
\nA stainless steel gasser isn\u2019t my toy.
\nAnd you won\u2019t see Weber at my house.
\nYou can call me a down-to-earth spouse. <\/p>\n
No Kingsford necessary for this primitive son.
\nNo manufactured pellets to get my grillin\u2019 done.
\nThe virtues of Big Green Egg are well-known.
\nCould even smoke meat in a tropical cyclone.<\/p>\n
Coconuts and tangan-tangan are all I need
\nTo get a natural barbecue up to speed.
\nSee, I like to get down on the ground,
\nDown where animal spirits lurk around.<\/p>\n
Squatting over friendly fire loosens my loins
\nAs I char lovely, succulent tenderloins.
\nRibs, fish, hot dogs, chicken and chops,
\nI\u2019ve to got to say my cookout is tops.<\/p>\n
Because as I bring in a hearty meal for family
\nI hear animal spirits calling out to me,
\n\u201cThank you for respecting our sacrifice.
\nYou are where it\u2019s at.\u201d
\nAnimal spirits thanked me nice.
\nHow many grillers can say that?<\/p>\n
