I'M a Meat and Taters Guy

I can tolerate most any grub that is placed upon my plate, Though I must be somewhat selective so as to control my weight! I love a juicy New Yawk steak and taters with a slab of cherry pie, 'Cause I'm strictly a meat and taters sort of guy! There ain't nothin' as tasty as a meatloaf with smashed pertaters, With lots of gravy, new spring peas and fresh beefsteak termaters! But spare me pickled pigs' feet or a feesh starin' me in the eye, 'Cause I'm strictly a meat and taters sort of guy! I savor various kinds of soups and a good homemade stew, And Beringer's White Zin wine with a delectable cordon bleu! Sushi causes me to barf and pungent kimchi tears my eye! I reckon by now you've guessed I'm a meat and taters sort of guy! I relish the products hogs produce like sausage, bacon and ham, And I don't care what others say, I'm an aficionado of good ol' Spam! But Lord have mercy! Spare the anchovies, 'specially on a pizza pie, 'Cause I'm strictly a meat and taters sort of guy! In these politically correct times, some folks might rashly conclude, That since I detest certain grubs that I'm a prejudiced dude. Well, that's their problem if we don't exactly see eye to eye. It just so happens that I was born a meat and taters sort of guy! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired (c) All Rights Reserved
