Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Light Verse

French Fries

They are without a doubt
my favorite potato delicacy
French fries
Just the aroma makes me swoon
in sheer ecstasy ... bang   zoom
As a youngster, I could eat them everyday
if it were left up to me
French fries
Sliced in circles or sticks,
tossed in the deep fry ... hmmm,
has me licking my lips
Scientists try to tell me
that their nutritional value is low
But what does an egghead know
Anybody who disses the fries,
they must be slow
Or gotten concussed in the head
by an errant elbow
The bottom line is this:
give me the French fries,
and you can have the rest of the menu
Kwaheri, arrivederci
and a fond adieu
Call me king of the potato heads,
now what shall I call you?

Carol B. February 19, 2017 at 1:18 PM I am a French fry lover as well :). I enjoyed this fun poem and now it has me craving fries. Especially poutine

Eve Roper February 18, 2017 at 2:10 PM I love that salty french fries except every time I see the oil and it I think of my heart and cholesterol so I go for the potato wedges instead. Cute poem why don't science leave us alone. Thank you for the compliment on POTD was totally shock it rarely happens hugs Eve

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart February 18, 2017 at 1:48 PM About time I see an ode to the great fried potato! I'd give up chocolate b4 potatoes, ranking addiction, well can't survive on cocoa alone ;) I live steps from La Poutinery and somehow have self control. I love your poetry as much as The French Fry Freddie. Irish descent, spud is in my blood xomo

Suzanne Delaney February 18, 2017 at 1:21 PM Love the waffle fries from Chick-Fila. Last night we had fries in Duck fat oozing with cheese.....would not order them again but the beer was good.

Charlie Smith February 18, 2017 at 10:56 AM Cardiac fries are the best. Loaded with cheese, bacon, green onions and lot's of jaiapinos with ranch dressing on the side...yuummm Freddie Robinson Jr. February 18, 2017 at 11:33 AM Charlie, you're talking my lingo, buddy. I would order that in a heartbeat, pun intended. Ty for the comments, my friend. Love and peace to you, brother.

Daniel Turner February 18, 2017 at 9:53 AM Pass the ketch up:) I was raised on fried potatoes. I eat them almost everyday. Fun write, Freddie:) Freddie Robinson Jr. February 18, 2017 at 10:02 AM Ty, Daniel. Ketchup is cool ... but you know, Daniel, I love to put hot sauce on mine. Just the African in me I suppose.
