I Love Food

I Love Food Contest
Sponsor: Lewis Raynes


Yummy steak fajitas with a pound of sour cream,
   along with hot salsa and many tortilla chips, I do wish,
      chicken quesadillas are my number one dainty dream,
         I’d have to say Mexican food is my favorite savory dish.

I eat more than my stomach seems to be able to handle,
   then I write and sleep it off until the next dinner time,
      my life is so full of food it’s in a messy complete shamble,
         it’s time for hard and soft tacos as I think of a rhyme.

Cheese enchiladas are good from my gramma’s recipe,
   a few green onions topped with delectable hot sauce,
      black beans mixed in with cilantro so incredibly spicy!
         with just a pinch of hot chili powder gently tossed.

A complete meal with palatable food upon my plate,
   entices me for more before I even take the first bite,
      for the scrumptiousness of my love for food is innate,
         when I was just a wee young lady it was love at first sight.

The greatest feeling about eating is filling up my void,
   even though it seems silly and hard to comprehend,
      but Mexican food will always be very hard to avoid,
         at the restaurants I’ll always be the first to recommend.

Oh, the edibles and luscious cuisine I choose to love to eat,
   fill my tummy with rumbles and tasty appetizers so great,
      oh, I almost forgot, Mexican corn dip is a delicious treat,
         for the scrumptiousness of my love for food is always innate.
