Redeye Gravy

Now sits the redeye gravy in the pan It certainly is not at all like jam Mom made it years ago for her man Fry some country ham, pour coffee bam Never knew why it was called redeye Then my grandson informed me just why Men who had been out late had bleareye Who looked like they had been drip-dry I always thought that it was because It had dark red color from drippings In my home it got an applause I thought that it was God's blessings I learned my husband doesn't like it My grandson doesn't like redeye gravy When I make it only make a bit Always redeye gravy left heavy Today decided to place on grits Feed to the cats see if they like it Now cat is running around won't sit I guess that caffeine gave them lift

Never have tried redeye gravy, Sara, but if it goes well with grits I'm sure I'd love it. I'm wondering what goes into the gravy to keep the cats on the go. Cute poem! Love, Carolyn
