It's so hot and so tasty

There will be sweat dripping down my brow
My tongue will tingle

My eyes might water

It doesn’t matter, I still love it

George Costanza once said that

“George likes his chicken spicy”

So does Joseph

That’s why I can’t understand people who fear the spice
The people who wince at black pepper

The people you could murder with a jalapeno

Joseph doesn't understand those people.

But the important thing here is the ode
The ode to spicy food
Spicy curry, I want that
Spicy Korean food, give me another plate
Hot peppers, just one more and I'll be happy
, Make my Pad Thai extra hot while we are at it.

It’s so hot and tasty

I might sweat more than a little

My mouth will burn

I might even cry

It doesn't matter because [ still love it
