“Bacon is red. Bacon is rough. One strip of bacon is never enough” is a poem that has been printed on many images. The poem follows the “Roses Are Red” meme.
“‘Bacon is red. Bacon is rough. One strip of bacon, is never enough’ http://9gag.com/gag/4061850” was posted on Twitter by Nacho (and many others) on May 3, 2012. The 9GAG image shows the animated sitcom character Homer Simpson, but there’s no evidence that the line is from The Simpsons.
