Food To Die For

A hungry cat
    might pick at a rat
  But she'd prefer to
    feast on a fish

  Whereas a dog
    refuses 'puppy chow'
  If he espies
    some meat on a bone

  As for me, I'm not picky
    I'll eat what's put on my plate
  As long as it's still edible ~
    to Heaven I don't want to be late

I am guilty of giving into the warm, sweet smell of Dunkin Hines brownies. Ugh! Why are things that taste so good,so bad for you? I think I heard all doughnuts were sugar free. Could that be true? Maybe only in my dreams.

Filled with wit and light! As always, you weave your lines with pure cleverness. Give me a minute, I need to see what's in the fridge. Who wants to go anywhere with weather like yours anyway? Huzzah!!...ab

Well, I'd brave the elements for some hi-brow puppy chow. How about you, Anselmo? lol. Thanks, Gershon

A good one, G. Let's just hope that "manna"...whatever that is...is edible when...and if...we do manage to get there.

Well, they say the 'manna' looked like a coriander seed, but as for the taste, it depended on each individual's state of mind...

I'm sure you'll make it to heaven precisely when the good Lord is ready for you, gw. The reason I'm still around is that hell is too full and heaven doesn't want me...yet.

I'm glad you're sure. The Devil is ready to nail me to the wall right at the Pearly Gates... l0l.

That's right. I want to be on time up there in heaven. ~ Mr. Punk Chew-Al
