      Will buffalo wings be next?

      First they came for the bacon

      And I did not speak out

      Because I was not eating bacon at the time

      Then they came for the buffalo wings

      And I did not speak out

      Because I can take them or leave them

      Then they came for the cheesesteak

      And there was no one left

      To speak out for the cheesesteak
