Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose Poetry

My Love For Biscuits and Gravy

Three times this week I have had biscuits and gravy.
They are fifteen hundred and two calories per plate.
I know because I do not make them.
I eat them in restaurants and they list these calories.
All three times this meal was super scrumptious.
I was not expecting them to be as good today.
For the menu listed them as 1402 calories.
At this rate, I should weigh six hundred pounds by Sunday.

Robert L. Hinshaw June 28, 2023 at 5:09 PM One of my favorite meals as well, Caren! In the Air Force we called it SOS (Best I don't interpret those letters - the brass at Soup wouldn't abide it - ha) Caren Krutsinger June 29, 2023 at 1:44 PM I love it so much!

Sara Kendrick June 28, 2023 at 11:45 AM Ha!! Ha!! ROTFL..When I was growing up, biscuits and gravy was part of our caloric intake everyday because it was cheap. I haven't eat very much biscuits and gravy since I was pregnant with my first child because the doctor told me not to eat gravy any more and that it would be better to eat toast. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara Caren Krutsinger June 29, 2023 at 1:44 PM I love biscuits and gravy - thanks for stopping by Sara
