Isn’t this a TV cooking show? The title suggests a happy poem. It suggests a delicious meal. This is not the case at all. The tone seems dark but sarcastic. The speaker is cooing parts of his siblings. The sister’s tongue is described to have bones and gristle which tongues do not have. This represents a course nature to her speech not so mush in its sound but in its content. It seems like she would either cuss a lot or speak poorly of other people. She may even be a habitual gossiper. The sister must also talk a lot because the poem says her tongue will grow back. “I will have my brother’s heart, which is firm and rather dry,” (Magarrell handout). The brother is portrayed as a hard hearted person. He is detached and uncaring. He also does not express himself much.
