Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

No Anchovies

No pizza of mine
will have those fishes packed in brine.
I must agree they do not taste fine.
I like mushrooms, peppers, and extra cheese.
However, I ask one favor please.
I do not want pizza with anchovies.
For some other folks who like meat,
sausage and pepperoni can be neat.
Those little fishes are salty and never sweet.
Very few ever consider them a treat.
Therefore, before the pizza gets cold,
I want you to place those anchovies on hold.

Wilma Neels March 5, 2011 at 12:57 PM Totally in agreement with you.. why they even put anchovies on a pizza, is quite baffling to me :) Ps: you made me crave pizza at 11pm with this write

Carolyn Devonshire March 4, 2011 at 9:56 PM I'm with you on this, Robert. Hold the anchovies -- toss them back in the water. They don't belong on pizza. Extra cheese if you please! Fun poem. Love, Carolyn
