Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Cold Pizza Topped-Off With Spam

All day Franco-American spaghetti-suckers
  do not make connoisseurs' lips pucker
Neither do grilled spiders and a side of beans
  appeal to kings or to queens

When looking to make a culinary splash
  never serve reheated corned-beef hash
And even if you're in a real time jam
  fuggetabout cold pizza topped-off with spam

Just stick to the basics, you'll surely succeed
  ~ A dozen raw eggs afloat in seaweed

Bill Baker November 12, 2021 at 9:48 PM Great flow and rhyming, but I would not want to have you cook for me. lol Bill Gershon Wolf November 13, 2021 at 7:33 PM It's ok, Bill. I know how pricey my culinary services can be for some folks. I can always rent you a reasonably-priced 'Kitsch-en-Gershon-bot' for a day or two. Bon Appetit! lol. :) gw
