Sea Food Again

Freeform parody of James Taylor's "Fire and Rain"

Spent three days stranded on this lonely stand

of rock and sand at sea

My sunburned skin is peeling painful

But that's not what's eating me

Oh, I've seen fruit and I've seen grain

I remember gravy boats and sausage chains

I've seen burdened banquet tables bending with the strain

And I always thought that I'd see food again

My beaten ship was stormy tossed

And sunk beneath the waves

Though everything aboard was lost

Alone my life was saved

Oh I miss fruit and I miss grain

I miss those yummy gravy boats and sausage chains

I'd even eat my vegetables and never once complain

If I only got to see food again

Spent three years stranded on this lonely stand of rock and sand at sea My suntanned skin's no longer painful But that's not what's feeding me I suck sea snails from their shells They're pretty hard to chew Though my aching jaw rebels There's not much else to do Oh I miss fruit and I miss grain I miss those yummy gravy boats and sausage chains I'd even eat my vegetables and never once complain But all I've got is sea food again I'm chewing on this sea food again Is it escargo or sushi? I don't know I just know it's sea food again Gritty, sandy sea food again
