Wendy Watson Poet Limerick

Summer Cooking

Sizzling sausages spit at the sun
Yes, the summertide season’s begun.
Salads,barbecued fish 
And a charred veggie dish,
Summer cooking, what feasting,what fun!

Roasted pineapple next for my sweet,
Then bananas and cream, what a treat!
Melting marshmallows too
With a chocolate fondue
Summer cooking is just up my street!

I’m beginning to rue my excess.
I have over-indulged,I confess.
Summer cooking is fine
But one must draw the line
Or put up with digestive distress!
