Combination Neighborhood Feast
Dellabetas brought in the tomato sauce,
Shanks came with pepperoni and sausage
My mother had a great idea
Why not roll out some dough and bake it together?
Dough with meat and tomato sauce?
Why not? It is just quirky enough to do something.
Aunt Gladys brought in some cottage cheese.
She wanted us to add that too.
When she was not looking, we put it into the refrigerator.
Cottage cheese did not seem to go along with our theme.
It was a neighborhood feast, and it was terrific in the end.
It is pizza! Our cousin from New York told us.
This was 1961. We were meat and potatoes people.
We had never heard of pizza, but we liked it.
The next time we saw the word pizza
it was on a Chef BoyArDee Pizza making kit.
