Tastes Like Chicken

I don't care about turkey,
chicken wins hands down.
No need for any gravy,
it is never dry.
Add baked potatos,
some brussel sprouts too.
Yummy, yum,
yum!

The chicken, a lowly bird
In turkey's shadow
On the day it should be safe
It rests on my plate
Next to Brussels sprouts
and double baked potatoes 
Baptized with
Wine!


For Andrea Dietrich's "Make me drool" contest.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/15/2014 12:05:00 AM oh my gosh, I should have done comments before judging. Now I know who wrote the double epulaeryu. I really did like these, Richard. But i could only place those who did one each. This is excellent work (despite the fact you included the brussel sprouts haha) I have often cooked chicken instead of turkey. I just don't get all the fuss about having to have turkey when chicken is so much better. A man after my own heart!! Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 11/15/2014 8:40:00 AM Thanks Andrea.

Paul Callus Date: 11/9/2014 12:00:00 PM We both agree on this one Richard.....give me chicken over turkey, anytime! Your unsophisticated recipe is ideal for me! I think you're going to find a long line of hungry people waiting outside your door:) // paul Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 11/9/2014 12:02:00 PM Fortunate for me my wife is a chef Extrodinaire so I am treated to many masterpieces. I on the other hand lack talent in this arena.

Monterey Sirak Date: 11/9/2014 8:46:00 AM Are you cooking dinner? Sounds good. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 11/9/2014 10:00:00 AM If I were the one cooking I would recommend you not get to close. I lack culinary prowess. My wife on the other hand is a true artist.

Tim Smith Date: 11/9/2014 5:25:00 AM I'll bring the wine. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 11/9/2014 10:02:00 AM Can you bring a bottle of Oops from the Vibrant Vine? It goes great with Chicken.

M. L. Kiser Date: 11/8/2014 2:21:00 PM When I saw that title, I had to read it. I don't eat chicken, but the rest of the meal sounds great! Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 11/9/2014 10:02:00 AM ;0)
