Tamales and tamales and tamales
Keep in my kitchen fridge from day to day
Forming a casserole of redolent slime,
And hurl at seekers in the lighted cool
A wave of musty breath.

clue:

See Macbeth, act V scene v. Better yet, go memorize all Shakespeare right now. Then you’ll be prepared for the next Shakespeare parody, whenever it may be.

give me a clue so sweet and true
