daddy loves meat and potatoes

meat and potatoes were my Daddy’s meals
mac and cheese are for other heels
he slathered ketchup on every piece of meat
liking a dessert, anything insanely sweet

pizza? no. tacos? absolutely not
and he did not like cake that was store-bought
Daddy was picky about what he’d eat
every meal needed meat and something sweet
