Cream Corn

One of life's true pleasures Is cream corn from a can Hot or cold it matters not I'm just a great big fan I have it with potatoes Or I spread it on my toast As topping for my sundae I love this way the most People stare and say aloud “That seems a little weird” If you've never ever tried it It's tastier than it appears I'm really quite a simple dude Don't need expensive stuff A dozens cans of yellow gold That might be just enough! To satisfy this hungry dude For a day or two or five Can't stop this lustful craving Think I'll try it on apple pie! © Jack Ellison 2013

a great FUN poem. I too used to love cream corn. But corn is not very nutritious. Sadly, all the really good tasting food usually is not. That's why I am eating less of them now in my middle years!!

Sounds like you're easy to feed... Everyone around here are picky eaters... My son Joey keeps bringing home girls who are vegetarians... This is the midwest beef and potato part of the country... ARGHHHH! What do I know about cooking vegie meals... unfortunately, nothing... I just give them money to eat out on... Come to think about it... He may be just saying that so I'll pay for their dinner out... I think he's out smarted me...

Hey young fellow, happy to hear you liked my poem about corn! If you do happen to try it on apple pie, let me know what you think... somehow that doesn't seem too appealing! LOL

Please don't try these combinations! Although they may sound yummy, take my word for it, they should be avoided! LOL Hugs, Jack xox

My passion for corn is somewhat more subdued than yours. I laughed so hear corn flew out my nose.

I love corn but don't eat creamed corn so I don't know if I like it. I can't see having corn on the sundae or pie though. Never heard it until now. You sound easy to please, Jack. Do you have a favorite dish that you come back time and time again? There is a favorite restaurant of mine and I found myself coming back again and again for the same dish! Have a great day :)

"I found myself coming back again and again for the same dish" I thought I was one of few that did that! LOL Since this weight loss campaign I'm on, I'm more selective in what I eat but I'm certainly not starving! Hugs, Jack xox
