Teflon

The ultimate in cookware
Convenience galore
non stick, even lousy cooks
can use them, what is more
They never stop to wonder
What Teflon really is
They may think, Dupont’s clever
And that these goods are the biz!

Thats less fat when your cooking
Better for your waist
But is it safe?
Has anybody asked?
Should it be faced?
Its made of toxic chemicals
Known as, PTFE
Poly tetra fluoro ethylene
to you and me

The quickest way to degrade it
is to heat it
at 396F, its vapour has killed birds
At lower temps we all had a best ponder
you don’t see that around well not in words
At higher temps a polymer fume fever
can manifest itself into the air
animals have died of it, they have you know
Do you think thats really very fair?
