Eat a Little Piece

Poem: Titled: Eat A Little Piece?My Poetry on PoetrySoup Written by: Ronald Watson. March 10, 2013. Eat A Little Piece? Ethel, she is an elderly little lady who bakes sweet tasty treats, and constantly, she is asking,” Please, come on, eat a little piece?” It was her secret cooking recipe’ that would knock the socks right off of your feet. Then, she gathered up together all of, “The Powers That Be.” When it came time for them to eat a little piece. To sip it up with their coffee and tea; Devour some up like, the cookie monster on: Sesame Street. Either, it should taste more like, their moms red beans and rice. Or it would taste just like, those sweet and honey barbeque ribs that is cooked so nicely. Because it is her secret cooking recipe’. Yet, still she is asking, “Come on now, please try a little peace?” But, they all just stood and shook their heads, saying that they were all having War instead.My Poetry on PoetrySoup Thank You.
