If You Insist

I ran into the room, said, "Do I smell bacon?", but couldn't decipher the smirk Jim was making. "Sure, if that's what you wanna call it! Hey, why not stuff your gullet?", and like a true American I was taken.

Wow! I love your limerick and the smell of bacon. My father used to buy a big rectangular chunk, smoked, and hang it from a hook on the wall. The smell used to fill the whole house! Needless to say, that chunk never lasted long! // paul

Bacon never does sadly... bacon never does. Thank you for checking out my older work!

Well bacon isn't EVERYTHING... just the only thing that matters (ha ha ha... kidding!). Seriously though I like all kinds of food. They could have been grilling asparagus and I would have been just as elated as the bacon :)

I was always curious if what we Americans call "Canadian Bacon" is at all the same thing IN Canada? In any case I appreciate you stopping by, as always!

BACON! I love the smell of it, but I can't eat it. Have fun for the both of us. :)
