Meat and Potatoes Please

Meat and potatoes and chicken will not do Has to be beef and genuine Iowa-grown corn-fed too Mashed potatoes not those flimsy flakes from a box Gravy stirred by loving hands valuable as Fort Knox Dessert can be cake if you cannot get Mom’s pie If you can there’s nothing better under this old sky Scalloped corn and twice baked loaded potatoes With thick bubbly cheese sauce that freely flows You are on a diet? This is really no problem at all. There is a always a leftover pile of carrots left in the hall Sometimes a new relative brings a piece of lettuce too I will eat the good stuff leaving rabbit food for you
