Moctezuma’s Better Brownie Batter (Mexican Brownies) - Joe Finetti
Moctezuma ate a brownie,
Soon his face began to frown-ie;
For he found the taste insipid,
To his chef and staff he quip-ped:
“This needs some chili!
I want some chili!
Your dessert is very dull.
If you don’t fix it,
And I don’t like it,
Soon some heads are gonna roll!”
From the kitchen came a pounding,
Chili grinders were a-sounding;
In the mix they put some cinnamon,
To the king they brought it in again:
“I taste the chili!
I like the chili!
Spicy brownies are divine.
Invite Cortes tonight,
We’ll give his tongue a fright,
Moctezuma takes revenge!”
