What’s a BUNG?

Ybabpmuts

The Jack Daniels Championship uses bungs (with qualifying team names on them) to pick teams for the championship cook-off. Way back in 2008 on the BBQ Forum, someone posted about the bung drawing. A bunch of people asked what a bung was. I wrote this poem as a result of that. If I remember right, It got pulled but not before people grabbed a copy and sent it around. I got all kinds of emails about it, requests for it, comments about it etc. The only time one of my posts was ever pulled from the bbq forum (I’ve been blocked from posting on the bge forum once, for an hour) TBH, I didn’t think this was so bad.  

Ran across it today in my files and thought I’d share in OT.

What is a bung.

we all got one as roud as a beet
that one brown eye high above our feet

i know you think the stump aint rite
I think a frogs green bung is water tight

but this here poum it aint no crime
And a cows bung closes at fly time

my sistah beulah has won near her axe cut
she makes pointed doodies so it dont slam shut

my uncles got won too but his is all broken
so says his doctor after some fine finger pokin

the man spends all day poken old males
hope that he don't chew his fingernails

my mommas gotta a cousin his name is bob
his bung was blocked by an old corn cob

my grampas got one too an i seen it one day
his pants fell down out in the summer hay

there's one thing that’s worse than seein his dink
and that's seeing that bung of his, see me and wink

my brother what momma always thought was a gem
got tattoos on each side of his, the big letter M

we thought that was weird, we asked why, not just how
he stood on his head and his butt then spelled WOW

jeesh we thought, look at that, that man is the bomb
then he stood up and his butt then spelled MOM

we started to think what about our fine balloon knots
we should use them for something other than stickin to cots

my big brother mike took his to the big city
to get somethin tatted on his, somethin real witty

he chose a big old horse shoe one for good luck
but the artists hand slipped and his gun done got stuck

he tugged and he pulled but he never got it back
the gun sticks out of mikes fine woolly crack

you look from the sides it surely aint rite
it proves mike says, that his bung is real tight

it looks realy bad, how will he ever sit
he cant he says, until he makes a gun sh!t

my young brother pete his bung is real fickle
poppa says its cuz he plays hide the big pickle

with his men friends what dress up real neat
poppa says their bungs are like a two way street

one lane it goes in and another lane goes out
poppa says their bungs will lose their fine pout

and they will start to ruin all their fine wicker hampers
until they get smarter and start to wear pampers

i gotta stop now it's been going a long time
if i dont stop now I'll cross some bad line
