Andrea What a clever and humorous write. First you make the reader hungry with the yummy food, then make them choke on it from laughing at the end. LOL Thanks for the sweet and nice comment on my Robin Hood poem. Hugs

Love tuna with all the trimmings, but today I'll pass. Lately I've been 'inserting' my 'Foot in my mouth. Best wishes, Andrea!! Mikki

Hi Andrea- I kept wondering who wrote this after I judged bc of the inserting foot in mouth at the end. Excellent ending for a healthy treat. Congrats on this write. I ran each poem thru the syllable counter and then read them out loud to my com-padre for full effect. This is a great read out loud! BLIND JUDGING DOES WORK. :) Hi five, healthy gal! Gwendolen

Andrea I really need to put on some weight and the beef and provolone topped with mayo sound delicious. A calorie overload for some but I could use it. Good luck in the contest. Best to you, Diane

Haha that last line is a hoot! See rhymes with foot? heehee love how you ended this, just when I was envisioning this yummy write-- good one sweetie! & thanks for dropping by my poem-- actually that was the write that I lost in the first place, I re-wrote it and I think I got about 80% in? but I missed the contest..still had fun writing that though-- hugs to you :D

Nothing like a good footlong sub, Andrea! I'm not a teacher (exactly), but I am a homeschool mom who looks for a lesson in everything. :)

Yes, the old saying, "A moment on the lips, an eternity on the hips." Glad to know there is good-for-you fast food. It is great to cheat once in a while and drown in grease. Love, daver
