Fabulous Foods

Fish, fresh fruits, fun french fries; pizza, popcorn, pecan pies;
Tacos and tahini; ziti and zuchinni;
Hamburgers and ham; jelly and jam;
Raspberries red; bacon, biscuits, and buttered bread;
Cheese and chips; doughnuts and dips;
Candies, cookies, and cakes; soups, salads and steaks.
To make me happy, feeding me food is just about all it takes!

Congratulations on your top win Andrea. You should have been married to my husband who loved to cook and loved to eat. The best part was he also cleaned up after himself. Blessings xxoo

I think your list of food certainly encompasses a great many of my likes and your poem is a happy one, eating is a great part of our lives, we eat we work we sleep we play, so I would join you in your happiness about food, just dislike greasy. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

It was not written correctly, so don't look to it as a way to do the contest.

Very nicely and creatively done, Andrea. I really struggled with this one. That you managed to make them rhyme is masterful.
