Shaving the Meat Wheel

Hi Everyone!

Well, I meant to say "hello" a bit more often on this trip, but unfortuately, a lack of computer acess, and French keyboards have stymied my e-mail a bit recently. However, entirely random snippets of stories shall follow once I return to the U.S. later this week.
For this brief message, I would like to address the issue of the meat wheel.

Yes, my friends, the meat wheel; that wheel that twirls around with the meat on it at kebab and gyro shops.

Well, three years ago, when we were young and trying to pronounce words like "Rouen" without expelling random vital organs from our bodies accidentally, Nick remarked what a great song title "Shaving the Meat Wheel" would be for metal. I reflected on this and agreed wholeheartedly (as many of us do, with Nick's effervescent ideas), and I came up with a verse.
However, the song remained there, with just one verse, until I was sitting in front of that same Kebab shop last week and was visited by the Corne d'Or muse. This one's for Nick, and I hope it lives up to the brilliant title he suggested.

(Verse 1)
What am I here, a slab of beef?
You devour me, and pick me from your teeth
Then string me up when you find a new deal
And shave me piece by piece
From the meat wheel, the meat wheel, you shave me from the meat wheel

(Verse 2)
Round and round I always go
Will it stop? Nobody knows
You brandish still your heart of steel
And shave me piece by piece from the meat wheel, the meat wheel, you shave me from the meat wheel

(Bridge)
Oh hey, oh my my
You hang me up there in plain sight
Shave me once or shave me twice
Shaving meat's your favorite vice

Verse 3
You know one day I think you'll find
This piece of meat's your piece of mind
And that your heart no longer feels
Because you shaved it piece by piece, from the meat wheel, the meat wheel, you shaved it from the meat wheel

(Gothic Chorus Enters)
THE MEAT WHEEL
THE MEAT WHEEL
YOU'VE BEEN SHAVING THE MEAT WHEEL!

(Pipe organ enters)
THE MEAT WHEEL!
THE MEAT WHEEL!
YOU'VE BEEN SHAVING THE MEAT WHEEL!
(Cannon fire commences)

THE MEAT WHEEL!
THE MEAT WHEEL!
HOW LONG WILL YOU SHAVE THE MEAT WHEEL!

(Repeat, ad infinitum)

Yours randomly,

Peter
