> Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Chopped-up baby parakeet
Roasted eyeballs soaking in a pool of blood
And I forgot my spoon!

Nice!

The version I remember from childhood is:

Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Little birdies' bloody feet
Everything else that's good to eat
Nineteen tons of mutilated monkey meat
Gee I forgot my spoon!

I like your "chopped-up baby parakeet", that scans well... :-)

Thanks!

The mark of great art is that every generation make it its own.
