new poem

“Eat”

food is sublime
an ode in rhyme

whether it is pasta
or pizza pie

I love eating
sometimes French or Thai

give me bagels with cream cheese
or a strawberry cake

my senses are delighted
I am ready to partake

ramen noodles I like
and hamburgers too

I want some cheese fries
and beef roast au jus

there are so many cuisines
I never grow weary

I’ll eat it all
and my stomach stays cheery

so bring on your cupcakes
and your tacos as well

a nice roasted turkey
sure is swell

I’ll have some pumpkin pie
and moo shoo pork ad lib

spaghetti with meatballs is nice
also I’ll have some prime rib

here ends my tale
I think I’ll eat some quail
