Notes About The Poem
Modern Southern Style Biscuits..

Biscuits

Tall Aunt Euvela Made biscuits for our dinner It was requested of the crowd How many biscuits are required? My daddy said, "I always eat two." Uncle Troy said, " You won't eat two of Euvela's." When dinner was eaten, All the dishes washed. Uncle Troy said," Morgan, two you stopped short of." Daddy said, "Troy, you was right those biscuits were as big as plate." He continued, "No one could eat two of Euvela's biscuits." That woman had those big hands with long fingers to match her six foot height..

what a fun story about Euvela!! Never heard that name before either. Wilberforce was the guy behind the movie "amazing Grace" and his contribution to doing away with slaves in England many years ago, Sara. but Brian says not to put any extra info on our contest entries, otherwise, I'd have given an explanation below the poem
