Another Fine Meal

Go to Massachusetts for its chowder,
in Maryland you’ll find tasty crab cakes.
Texas has their famous beef brisket rub,
KC says it’s good BBQ they make.

Head to Maine to dine on some lobster,
Florida’s Coconut Shrimp is best.
Montana cooks some fine mountain oysters,
Colorado’s lamb chops top off the west.

Eat some deep-fried pickles in Arkansas,
in California get their avocado toast.
Crisp Fries with vinegar in Delaware,
y’all, it’s them boiled peanuts that Georgia boasts.

Hot pork tenderloins of Indiana, 
Hawaiian shaved ice, Beignets of La.
Wyoming’s Fry bread, Illinois’ Deep Dish,
Michigan Pasty, Cheesesteak from Pa.

You can travel around America,
even a few countries across the sea.
Anything you’ll find has yet to compare,
to my wife’s fried chicken and mac-n-cheese.
