Nelson, Rascal and Chops

"Have some corn chowder, It's really quite good," said Nelson the plumber To Rascal the hood. "Have some corn chowder, It's really quite fair, 'Cuz the pork chops are lousy, They cooked 'em too rare." Young Rascal he started, And rose from his chair, "If the pork chops are lousy, I really don't care. It's coffee I'm after, No sugar, no cream, And I don't give a damn If the pork chops are green!" "I can see you're upset lad," Old Nelson replied. "And it's 'cuz of the way That them pork chops are fried. Now I know you deny That you wanted a few, But deep down inside, It's those chops got you blue." "Look mister, I told you!" Said Rascal the hood. "I wouldn't want chops Even if they were good! It's coffee I'm after, Red hot and jet black, So shut yer face up, Or a few teeth you'll lack!" "There's no need for violence," Old Nelson then said. "It's not like it's MY fault The chops are still red! I sympathize with you son, Really, I do, 'Cuz I had my heart Set on fried pork chops too." Then Nelson the plumber, He rose from his chair, And Rascal the hood Grabbed him right by the hair, And punched him and kicked him 'Til poor Nelson died... And you say there's no harm In a chop poorly fried?
