Notes About The Poem


Follow soupers have a slice on me, and enjoy, cheri

Pizza America's Favorite

Thick or thin, it is the Friday night order in special,
Supreme or meat lovers delight, whatever toppings
You like it, does not matter for it’s 
The all American favorite, Pizza!!
Roll out that dough, cover it with Italians specialty
Sauce, cheese me to please me, I’ll never get enough,
I’m simply addicted to this deep dish pan delicious stuff.
Cut me no single slice, for more, more, more,
Is the thunderous roar of my mighty hungering’s
Rumbling, within my tummy, for what Pizza!!!
Circled or squared, just roll that pizza cutter of 
Portions pleasure, pick up your slice and allow
That thick cheese to pull apart naturally,
Then bite into Nirvana, for this is heavens
Perfection guaranteed by the slice.
Now the frozen microwave style may work in a pinch,
Delivery or the hot and ready special can satisfy
My personal hunger glitch, for that tasty pizza pie,
As long as can get it, I’m satisfied.
Oh grant me one pleasures sinful command to break
Dearest lord above, to indulge myself, and stuff
Myself with pizza, pizza until I burst, for gluttony is
One distractions fault I have dear father, when it
Comes to this circle food, as it spins on the nightly
Commensals boob tube.
Is it not against the law to hide messages within
Certain text, because I swear these advertisers
Know our fragile human weaknesses, late at night
For  this delectable substance, called what
Pizza, if I haven’t mentioned it enough,
Yummy, yum, yum old chum.
It’s the party hardy mid-night special, on all
Channels of the United States of America,
There is no doubt of this, rock my world
In flavorful old time favorite, dude I’m
With you all the way, especially on a 
Friday night.
This is my declaration of independence
Declared in Italian sauces redden stainy ink,
Give me Pizza or give me death, just kidding
Folks, by the way do you want that last
Pizza slice, I’m not quite full yet, lol.

- A fun poem, dear Cherl - An old man I knew always complained that people often ate pizza ..... he had never tasted, but he believed it was "crap" food - On his 90 years b.dag, I made a HUGE pizza for him and his friends - He LOVE it !!!!! .... But I think it was his first and last pizza :)))) - I wish you a beautiful day - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

How funny, Cheryl! I have been dieting and pizza is what I miss most. Oh, how wonderfully you describe this "delectable treat." My favorite line is "Give me Pizza or give me death..." Okay, I'm ready to roll over now. LOL Love this one and it goes to my faves! Love, Carolyn

Pizza is one of my favorites. A guilty pleasure! It is not the healthiest food, but maybe that is why I love it so much!... I enjoyed this creative piece, right down to the last bite. Great work, my dear friend!

Hi Cherl! Let me start by saying that I only eat pizza that comes with a thin crusty base:) This delightful poem tempts, and falling into sin becomes so very easy! I love it!! I'm alone at home at the moment...my tummy is in need of filling...so on the spur of the moment I have decided to go and put a pizza in the oven; txs for the inspiration!:) Have a lovely day...and save that last piece of pizza for later on:) // paul
