Michelle Faulkner Poet Rhyme

An Acquired Taste

You are what you eat; it is true,
                    So cannibals are people too!

Jennifer Proxenos June 11, 2022 at 3:24 AM Great fun and clever write, though I can't help thinking that cannibalism could solve our problem of global over population ha, ha, ha. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer

John Watt May 14, 2022 at 10:58 PM This was laugh out loud funny, Michelle. I love your macabre wit. Did you hear about the cannibal who had a wife and ate children? He was late to dinner once... he got cold feet. Great write, great title too, best wishes in the contest. Michelle Faulkner May 16, 2022 at 2:36 PM I had several ideas for titles for this, such as 'Tastes like Chicken' and 'To Serve Man' (from the classic Twilight Zone episode) but thought An Acquired Taste was the best fit - glad you appreciated the humor, not sure how many would~

Sally Eslinger May 14, 2022 at 10:19 AM Giving me quite a welcome laugh today! Seems to me a tailored fit to the contest! A great day to you, dearest Michelle! Michelle Faulkner May 16, 2022 at 2:38 PM Glad you liked it, Sally :)

Gershon Wolf May 7, 2022 at 8:30 PM Ha, ha, ha, ha! Wish I could laugh more. It hurts too much with every bite that cannibal takes. Smiles, gw Gershon Wolf May 11, 2022 at 6:51 PM Remember that first you'll have to contend with layers of fat before you find out whether there's any me-at worth eating. :) Michelle Faulkner May 8, 2022 at 10:10 AM Thanks gw, I should have you for dinner sometime (evil laugh)
