Free Verse Carelessly

Now I just wanted a taco; Is that too much to ask. I have the meat and spices, yum. First I slapped the meat in the pan, Waited for one side to scorch, Flipped it over and Splashed grease all over but then, Scraped it into crumbles No one was even looking. Chopped finely da tamadoes, And some onion, continued cooking. Tuk three shells, pud a big spoon in each, Chomped a big crackle – enjoyed the paper plate. Spilled salsa down my chin, Spread grated cheese around the kitchen. Now that’s a way to end a good day. I just wanted a taco. (Forgot the green avacado.)

Your fine poem made me hungry my friend. I myself love a well made taco! Not with beef but with chicken as the meat and with extra hot sauce. And jalapeno's......
