Hot and Spicy

Hot and Spicy

By Elton Camp

Some folks think food is especially nice
If it is filled with lots of pepper and spice

I suppose it’s everyone to his own taste,
But serve me that and it will go to waste

It makes the top of my head start to sweat
And of taking a bite I surely do regret

Such food would be banned if I had my way
Since it makes me still fell bad the next day

By far the worst restaurants I’ve ever seen
Are those that advertise their Indian cuisine 

I won’t eat there no matter what the trick
Why would I want to pay to be made sick

That's too funny, Elton. I do happen to like spicy food -just not too hot. So I understand what you mean. Good write. Love, Toquyen

Thanks for reading. Actually I like reasonable spices in food too. My daughter loves Indian cooking, but it makes me feel sick almost every time. I am not one to "fuss" about food and usually eat whatever is set before me. But not that.
