Surprise Me Please Food

Firefly gravy and fluffy white mashed potatoes if you please.
I will have that next to cherry pie and greasy soup that heaves.
I like my food to surprise me in the middle of mid taste.
If it starts out sweet and ends up sour, I have won the race.

I have to add a green vegetable? What about a broccoli?
With a bit of cheddar cheese, drop it on my favorite knee.
I like my food to walk toward me and wiggle, dance or neigh.
It makes me feel powerful at the end of a tiring day.

I tossed it down, looked at it, almost scraped it, but Trixie liked it so here it is.

I LOVE mashed potatoes. I could eat them at every meal, and have them for snacks in between. With loads of butter, salt, and pepper. Sometimes I add jalapeno peppers.

Creatively written Caren. It can certainly lead someone to have an appetite too :)

I am glad you liked it. I was not sure it made any sense at all.
