Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Meatloaf

On the mundane meatloaf I must opine

   'Tis an all time favorite grub o' mine

      With smashed pertaters

         And fresh termaters

            Topped off with a two dollar jug o' wine

Mike Francis May 22, 2011 at 4:38 PM As I sat reading this I have two meatloaf's in my smoker over cherry wood! Takes one of my favorite foods to a whole new level!! Maybe I'll write a poem about it!

Ralph Taylor May 2, 2011 at 10:40 AM Sounds good to me, Sarge. One of my favorite meals, minus the wine. I'll have a glass of milk instead! Excellent piece. Ralphie

Daver Austin April 29, 2011 at 3:35 PM OH, my God! How many times have i polished off a two dollar bottle of wine. Dish made no difference - meat loaf usually took too much time to make. Ah, but a load of spaghetti? I'm a thirstin'. From one USAF Sgt. to another - wonderful recipe poem. Love, daver

Carolyn Devonshire April 29, 2011 at 9:18 AM Thanks for the comment, Bob. Your work always has so much of your country character in it that it's a joy to read. Love, Carolyn

Carolyn Devonshire April 29, 2011 at 8:59 AM Ah, the joys of the simple life, Bob. Guess Dad didn't like meatloaf because Mom never made it and she tried to please him. Love the way you top off the meal with your $2-dollar jug of wine! If this is for the contest, you know I'm pulling for you. Love, Carolyn

Andrea Dietrich April 28, 2011 at 11:46 PM AWESOMELY done in a hillybilly fashion. I think you are the one that creates those hilly billy tales, aren't you? I sure love yer pertaters there!!
