Lol you are making me crave some junk food Andrea. I do have a chicken tamale that may suffice.

A day will come that I eat my last chocolate. I had deadly, flaky biscuits tonight. If such things cause my death, it will all have been worthwhile. Sure wish I could sleep on my stomach again, but the back won't allow. Thanks for the brief walk down this lane.

I'll take the junk foods. What is bad for us is always more appealing.

Jennifer Walker

I agree, most health food is boring and that junk food is so much more appealing to me. Well written to the point poem.

Chocolate and chips are both weaknesses for me. I enjoyed your poem.

I'm a lover of all foods myself - grilled asparagus and a can of V8 juice seems just as appealing as a grease burger with some french fries. But that's just me! Kimchi, however - I'm not sure about that stuff. I tried it and couldn't take it... my opinion on it might change if I had it WITH something, instead of by itself.
