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! 9/25/16

Congratulations Betty on your placement. I love calimari and if you'll dip those crickets in chocolate, I'll have some of those, too:)

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

Thanks Cheryl, I don't know if this is what Silent One had in mind for his contest but for some reason I decided to do a funny one. Glad you enjoyed it.
