Betty Janko Poet Couplet

Come To My Table

I’ll serve you a plate of delicacies
To fulfil all of your weird fantasies.

A bowl of soup with a floating fish eye
A side of fried crickets piled to the sky.

There will be escargot in golden shells
Not the kind once found in mossy wells.

Octopus tentacles brought to the table
Plenty of squid if you think you’re able.

For desert, a green spun sugar tower
A hundred-year egg, an edible flower.

But ,if that does not to you seem a treat
There’s a McDonalds right down the street!

Daniel Turner October 3, 2016 at 8:15 AM Congratulations Betty on your placement. I love calimari and if you'll dip those crickets in chocolate, I'll have some of those, too:) Betty Janko October 3, 2016 at 10:37 AM Dear Daniel, I actually ate a chocolate covered ant once. Trust me, you wouldn't like it! I passed on the crickets but I did eat everything else! The egg left a lot to be admired. Thanks for the comment. Betty
