Minced Words
Give me leg, a breast or a steak
A fillet or rump any time
For a solid piece of meat to chew
Is nothing short of sublime
Serve it with rice or slices of bread
Chipped potatoes or a veg or two
Add a sauce if you'd like for me to try
I'll happily share it with you
Or mince it and throw it into a pan
Brown it off, let it simmer so nice
Salt it and add any flavours you wish
Add herbs and pepper and spice
If you give it a twist, you might make it your own
Either bold or subtle is fine
Simple or complex, tried and tested or new
I'll be ready to sample and dine
The same can be said for your poetry and words
If you prepare them and treat them with care
Then I'll trust you to help fill my mind and my soul
I'll devour, if you're willing to share
