Mexican Minuanetta

A menu, Annetta, I’m hungry as a bear. But first, something lighter, tell me, what have you there? Chips, by the bowlful with salsa as starter fare. Do bring them A-S-A-P, and yes, I declare Extra? bring some queso with tender, loving care. First course finished, once more the menu, if you please; Greens, tomatoes, cucumbers with lots of chickpeas, Hidden Valley ranch, the best dressing will appease. Iced sweet tea with two slices of lemon, I’ll squeeze. Just a simple salad will stave my hunger’s chime. Keep that menu close at hand, for proteins are prime; Leafy salad down the hatch, now it’s entrée time. Menu calls loudly in clear meatier voices. Now for the main course, Bueno! stomach rejoices. Operation Fulfillment: contentment, my need. Polla Poblano, with rice and black beans to spare; Quesadillas, two with chorizo, two with cheese. Rich cuisine fills me up, I am feeling sublime. Skipping dessert sounds like the wisest of choices, Tosh! bring me fried ice cream, for I have gone to seed. April 6, 2020 Contest: Minuanetta Poems Sponsor: Emile Pinet
