National French Fries Day

Yesterday, I learned too late, Was something meant to celebrate - A day when everyone should cry: Hooray, hooray for the French fry! To me, it isn't a surprise At homage offered to French Fries. They rank up with my favorite foods And always will improve my moods. Some won't eat them - too much oil! My healthy intake they will spoil! But to those folk, so lah-di-dah, My answer is just one word - bah! I don't need a special date Reminding me what joys await When served a crispy plate of fries. (Of course, that's why I exercise!)

I eat them sparingly, most are not made the way I like them – thin and crispy. The French (at least in Paris) make good "frites." I believe they invented them, but some say that honor goes to the Italians? My favorite potato dishes are scalloped potatoes and old fashioned buttery mashed potatoes. Enjoyed reading your poems. / M
