The Things I'll Give Up for Lent

This poem is not meant to offend anyone or belittle their beliefs. This is only my attempt at humor. ~Things I’ll Give Up for Lent~ Liver and onions, Minced meat pie. Drinking beer from a can, Celebrating the 5th of July. I’ll do away with Haggis, Kiviak and Sheepshead Smalahoue. Rocky Mountain Oysters, Escargot and Fuhu. Escamoles and fried Tarantula, Jellied Moose and Airag. Gaeng Kai Mot Daeng, and baked polliwog. Chocolate-covered bacon, Candy corn or a root beer float Goodbye Goober burgers, and pickled ear of goat. Koolickles, popsicles, Hominy grits and Spam. Frog’s eye salad and Turducken, Tapioca and jellied Ham. But on this Valentine's Day my dear, know that there is one thing that's very true. I'd rather give up my chance to go to Heaven, then spend a single minute without you.
