I found some pork

In my can of beans,

I'm sure it was a mistake,

Never found it before.

 

Labels can be misleading

As to what the contents

May be inside, at least

That's what I have found.

Labels had always been misleading, living or non living things.

The can should have said pork & beans,
That is of course if the can could speak,
Hopefully the pork therein was lean,
As they might help to hold you together,
As the beans will make you from the back end leak...-e-

At least you found pork in that can.
Lucky you, it could've been spam.

Chuckle, chuckle. What a pity. Last night I was served what was described as, "butter beans." As I ate them, I began to realize that this gift from, "a friend," was mislabeled because they acted and tasted like black-eyed peas and only looked like lima beans. And, there was no pork in sight until my bacon this morning… If you could call that bacon!

Hah! Like some people are misleading, George. Hope you chewed that piece of pork ten times before ingesting it.
