Sandwich Choices

Choices There are so many choices to be had When ordering a sandwich What kind of bread What kind of meat or any meat What kind of cheese or any cheese Whether to have sprouts or not Whether to have a pickle or not Whether to go with a classic peanut butter And something sandwich I loved peanut butter sandwiches As a kid Peanut butter and sweat pickles were my favorite Peanut butter and banana is good also Peanut butter and strawberry jam What a delightful memory My current favorite Is a BLT with sprouts, avocado, and kosher dill pickles? Heirloom red tomatoes one slice per each half Avocado one half per each half One half pickle on each half Bacon cooked just right – well done but not black Sprouts and lettuce just right Timamook Yellow smoked cheder cheese On each half On Gluten Free bread with chipotle mayo And Dijon mustard Cut in half Truly a sandwich made in heaven And bacon makes everything Taste so damn nice And God if you are reading this poem You had better prepare them for me Or Heaven will not be worth it Does Satan serve BLT sandwiches I wonder Probably not Probably you become the bacon In his hell sandwiches published in Duane's Poetree

Hell sandwiches ? The whole piece made me hungry all over again, even though I've just had supper; and the end just made me laugh. Nicely done.
