Trotters: a Very Dangerous Delicacy

Trotters: A Very Dangerous Delicacy!


Trotters and knuckle bones
Is a rare meal, real treat.
Cordon Bleau of repute
Will moan of cooking time-
Simmering that last eternity,
And the massive power bill 
That hits below the belt!
But popular myth attached
To the slimy delicacy
With soup thick and slippery
And salty: Aphrodisiac.
But, one thing for sure;
Once you kiss your girlfriend
Prepare for the sweet woe
Of sleeping away from home,
With slimy soup on your lips
To her, you’ll stick forever!

I bet you'd like to remain stuck to her lips, you sneak. Nice poem, shamwari. Licia ;-) Joseph Matose November 20, 2013 at 1:05 PM Shamwari, trotters make me a young boy! Thanks Licia. JM
