The Dirge of Porky Chunkins

 

Now gather round children
and I'll spin you a tale 
the tale of the Dirge of Porky Chunkins
Porky Chunkins was a mighty fine man
A manly man's man 
A man who liked what he knew and knew what he liked
and Young Chunkins he did Anime like
with cool Jap words
and cool Jap pix
so much so that a tshirt he did buy
a tshirt to his fandom
Young Chunkins wore it loud
Young Chunkins wore it proud
'cause Anime was cool you know
The Years rolled by
and Young Chunkins wore that shirt
not so proud, not so loud and not so young
The Years rolled by
and Porky Chunkins loved that tshirt still
Til one fateful night
Chunkins' wife did say
Porky, I know thou art a man of God
holy, righteous and sublime
but must thy shirt be so holey too?
Chunkins sighed and bowed his head
he asked for strength to do the deed
This tshirt had served him well
nigh on a score of years
with a heavy heart
but calm of mien
eyes dry
and soul determined
Porky Chunkins did the deed
but in his heart the tshirt lives
and Chunkins sings his song
On cold and desolate nights
when the winds do blow
and clouds the moon do cover
if you listen loud
if you listen proud
You can hear
The Dirge of Porky Chunkins...
