Corned Beef
Apon the starboard side,
Lies one of the ships main supplies

It's under all that junk,
Called Matts bunk

It's can is square not round,
So it is easily found

Sliced, mashed or diced,
It's served in a trice

The cooks, they love it
Cause down their gobs the crew do shove it

With pickle and mustard,
Not jam or custard

By now you should have worked out
What this poem is all about.

It is not SPAM or spinach leaf,
But good old CORNED BEEF!
