Beef is a prized and expensive thing,
When a customer buys, the butcher angels sing,
And, the cash register has a louder ring,
Beef is so expensive to the billfold it's a sting,
It's even replaced gold as one's favorite kind of bling,
Marshal went diving on a deep coral reef, But, poor Marshal had a really big beef, He became filled with despair, Because he had no good air, It's on his tombstone in a gold relief.
