Everybody sing!

 

Our good friend Tom Neel is a talented artist who we’ve featured here from time to time.  He’s also a talen…..well, he’s kind of a songwriter.  In any event, ’tis the season to be jolly and in an exchange of emails, Tom got jollier and jollier until he finally penned this little ditty.

 

Devon, by Tom Neel

To the music of Irvin Berlin’s “Cheek to Cheek” 

 

Devon, I’m a Devon

and my hide’s so red if you could only see ….

That beautiful meat that lives inside of me

makes delicious burgers, ribs and roasted treats.

 

Devon, a red Devon

Field raised and happy as I can only be….

It’s Virginia’s Piedmont that’s the life for me.

Until I’m on the plate for you

ain’t it sweet.

 

(chorus)

On your plate

I feel your knife and fork around me,

Veggies and potatoes I see,

and a nice iced tea or a beer or three.

 

Devon, I’m a Devon

The sun lights my hide so you can see….

That beauty that lies inside of me.

As were dancing on the table together cheek to cheek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(chorus)
