Catastrophe in the gene pool It happened in the plains of Nebraska The Asian Crisis cuts profit margins Overproduction leaves little harvest The maize grows old in the fields In age they begin to yield Kernels are rotting off the cob Decadence in harmony cell walls are robbed Minute particles swim in the damp soil DNAcid mingles with the other ears What will become is a horrid sight Next years planting will bring the plight 70 foot tall stalk rock hard corn This inbreeding must be brought down Howitzers and laaz rockets make it torn It falls with a thump to the ground Riddled with heat and led All we have is inbred cornbread
