The Horrors of Black Bart Chili

A remnant from the millennium stash

Dehydrated chili, what could go wrong?

Tomatoes, nosh, and juice, those shouldn’t clash.

We have Black Bart, and lunch will not take long.

Reconstituted it’s nothing but yuck.

Still crunchy this is hot like hellish brew

It sticks onto the ribs and fills the stomach.

But only for a sec—then you can’t chew.

It’s gotta be bad if the dog won’t eat

With clayey flavor thickening the air

There’s not a point to being discrete

This pot of meat and bean stew, none could bare.

This brutish Bart, no mortal man is he.

The label death, now I know him to be.

Is this from a backpacking trip? None of that Y2K food was very good. There are still a few items left, would you like me prepare those on your next break? :-)
