Gourmand--Tet

Gourmand - TET

Sight
Smells Good
Tastes good too
Let me touch it
My four senses all like the beef jerky

My fifth sense hears the complaints of my choice
What do I care
it's sole food
old shoes
choose

Thank you for the placement, Charles. By the way, speaking of your last name, my father was born in Messina, Sicily, Italy
