Finicky

No Almond Joy for coconut Please don't suggest roasting chestnuts Stifled by sage and pumpkin spice Cauliflower rice won't entice Though blasphemous, I'm not bluffing I am not thankful for stuffing He picks out onions, celery All for love of finicky me. 11/10/18

A fun poem Michelle. I do the picking off of any green or red peppers. My husband indulges my pickiness too. He shells all shrimp for me. I enjoyed this! : )

My mother-in-law would make a separate batch of stuffing, without onions and celery, for me!

This is perfect!! (I especially LOVE the line "Cauliflower rice won't entice"... although the other lines are excellent as well! Great work! ;)

Aww what a fun poem and a tolerant spouse too... cauliflower rice i adore it is so versatile i throw in any leftover veg, we eat it at least once a week:-)

Thanks Jan - yes I'm afraid I am awfully picky about my food (just like a little kid!)
