**USA SAUSAGE CO.**

With what better ingredients  
To feed duped constituents  
Than the perishable fruits of  
The Sausage Party?

Here at USA Sausage Co.,  
Our links are packed and ready to go!  
Sealed, signed, and confirmed too,  
Before you can even scream “barbecue!”

What sausage hack takes precedence  
Over Tom Paine’s *Common Sense*?  
After argument, protest, individual rights,  
What compares to carnivorous delight?

What does it matter if truth is true,  
When pigs in Constitutional blankets will do?
