Nutitious Noodles

Nutritious noodles, curled like worms in a dish,
Served with sauce in a salad; stuffed with fish.
Veiled with vegetables… making a perfect pasta.
Superb, succulent, smooth and rolling in… strata;
Hot from the oven, often boiled before it’s baked.
With my fork I pick them up, just like worms… raked.
Filled with buckwheat, rice and whole wheat flour,
Yummy in my tummy, I can take it every hour;
Noodles can be nasty, dropping from the spoon…
Tasty and tempting, they can make you croon.
Are you I search of pasta… that is just perfect?
Then noodles are just nice… you can’t neglect!

My son practically lived on noodles when he was at university - he still loves them. I showed him the poem - he said - 'print it off' Well done, Adeleke and thank you for your kind words. Liz
