On Top of My Pizza

On top of my pizza
filled with bacon and cheese
sits a juicy pineapple ring
filled up with garden peas

This gives much wanted colour
to my anticipated big bite
the base is so thick
raising one's mouth a new height

The juice from my pineapple ring
runs all over my pizza
adding zest to its taste
giving it a new added feature

Now the ring slips slowly down
to fall off the plate
on to the floor below the table
I'm sitting at with my date

Then it moves over to the other side
where sits my date a real beaut
who thinks I'll have that
but finds it stuck to her foot

So I cut it from her foot
making her footloose and fancy free
with my knife and fork
made her eyes see only me

Love came via a pineapple ring
to cherish and keep we joyfully sing


AUTHOR NOTES: written with the  childrens song in mind 'on top of spaghetti'
with a slight change of focus!

I love pizza, it's actually my favorite food. I have never tried it with pineapple.... I really enjoyed this poem, Gordon! It was a fun read, and it's a lighthearted departure from what I normally read on a daily basis. Great work!
