Good Luck Meal

For our New Years ‘good luck meal’ we’re have’n Pork on a – 
‘SPIT' - son
No I didn’t say – ‘SPIT’- son
(I wipe my eye)
Yes I did say ‘SPIT‘- but not ‘too – SPIT’
It is okay son- don’t cry-we can all get things wrong-
From time to time
Now where was I -ah yes, 
The reason for the –‘SPIT’…
Testing-testing
Are you okay now-son - Good
It is considered good luck-to eat Pork- 
With black-eyed peas and sour kraut on New Years day  
And the reason for the –‘SPIT’- they say 
It cooks the pork - to perfection, 
Myself -I prefer lamb

This poem is so cleverly done and I've tremondously enjoyed this. I've also learned something new about culture. The pork and the black-eyes peas along with sour kraut for good luck - I will get some tomorrow as I need the luck my way! Interesting and brilliant read! Thank you for sharing! Thank you as well for the kind comment on mine!

Creative look on the tradition. I like the almost slapshtick delivery, very nice twist at the end too :)
