Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

My Blue Cheese Is a Dark, Reddish Brown

Of all the foods in all the lands of culinary charm
     There is but one offender my taste buds can’t disarm
While others may enjoy it, perhaps fried or as pate’
     I would rather eat a heaping pile of fresh steamed hay

Some may like it on white bread or in a Shepherd’s Pie
     I’d prefer a great big slice of pie that’s made of fly
So be it Chicken, Calf or Cod, not to mention Duck
     I would favor meatloaf made from ground up hockey puck

 To this day, the only food that makes my stomach quiver
     Is the gastronomic venom that’s known to the world as “liver”

Kim Rodrigues January 17, 2018 at 7:28 AM You kept me in suspense until the end! Stay away from the quivering liver! :) Mike Gentile January 17, 2018 at 9:32 AM Thanks Kim, trust me, I will !!!!!

CayCay Godwin January 11, 2018 at 2:24 PM Ew, I wonder if you grew up when "good" Moms served Liver once a week! I relate to the Liver quiver and found your poem a well-written, witty and entertaining write. Most enjoyable! CayCay Mike Gentile January 11, 2018 at 2:38 PM Thanks so much, Caycay I was fortunate enough to have escaped it most of my life !!!!

Richard Lamoureux January 11, 2018 at 12:37 PM I would have to agree. The fist bite starts off with a deceiving texture and then the liver taste kicks in. I think you met this challenge very well. Mike Gentile January 11, 2018 at 1:24 PM Thanks Richard, I know there are those who do like it, so more for them !!!!

Dale Gregory Cozart January 10, 2018 at 12:24 PM This is really clever and entertaining. Good luck in the contest! Mike Gentile January 10, 2018 at 2:27 PM Thanks so much, Dale !!

Heidi Sands January 9, 2018 at 3:55 PM This is funny Mike. I won't eat liver either lol. :) Mike Gentile January 9, 2018 at 5:32 PM I am in good company xxoo Happy Tuesday!

Silent One January 9, 2018 at 3:53 PM You like meatloaf? Lol... I am not a big fan of liver either. Mike Gentile January 9, 2018 at 3:56 PM Yep, meatloaf ( if done right) is quite comforting on a cold night and a little red wine doesn't hurt either!!

Vijay Pandit January 9, 2018 at 3:36 PM So cleverly depicted, Mike..enjoyed reading your fun poem..you know how to write fun!

Judith S January 9, 2018 at 2:52 PM This had me laughing Mike!!! I also can not STAND liver!! When I was young my mother made it with bacon ... but overcooked it so badly. It was just as if we were eating leather ... with no taste. Really enjoyed this one!!!! Best of luck in the contest! ~ Judy Mike Gentile January 9, 2018 at 3:25 PM Thanks Judy, I am glad you liked it !!
