Tender, Steaming-hot, Tangy Pastrami Sandwich

      Poetry is not a pastrami sandwich
        Don’t pile the adjectives high

      Let the meat greet the customer
         Leave room in his mouth for a sigh

I dunno, those adjectives in the title got my mouth watering...which is strange because I'm a vegetarian, but good advice, and I'm glad because I have a hard time coming up with adjectives.
