Robert James Liguori Poet Rhyme

The Meatball

I'm a meatball in a sub,
With three others just like me,
We are warmed by tomato sauce,
And a blanket made of cheese.

The roll is our surrounding house,
Handled by a man,
Shivering at a football stadium,
While sitting in the stands.

My best friends will soon leave me,
One by one as I watch the teeth,
Overreach each sphere of nutrients,
Devouring what's beneath.

This is what I was born to do, so I will not be afraid,
Munch, munch, munch. Oh what a glorious day!

Kim Rodrigues September 22, 2021 at 11:17 AM You are a fun poet! Thanks for the laugh! I love a good meatball sub. My sister and brother-in-law make the best ones. They owned a sub shop for a bit!

Robert James Liguori September 22, 2021 at 3:49 PM Thanks, I try to be funny, sometimes it works! Sometimes, not so much!!

Joseph P. DiMino September 19, 2021 at 8:42 AM Well, having had many a good sub, I could not stop before finishing this read. Delicious! A fovorite! Robert James Liguori September 22, 2021 at 3:51 PM Thanks, the meatball sub I bought at the supermarket had an opening in the wrapping, so rather than eating it, I wrote a poem... So it didn't completely go to waste!

Chris Conn September 19, 2021 at 5:49 AM It hurts when I laugh and I laugh when I cry. Thanks for the lost B side Beatles tune. Robert James Liguori September 22, 2021 at 3:52 PM Your welcome, thanks for the comment!
