Keep your bacon, keep your ham
Keep your loganberry jam
No pastrami
No salami
In my sarnie I want Spam
Ain’t no bones, ain’t no brains
Ain’t no seeds, ain’t no grains
Slightly spicy
Tasty nicey
Spam ain’t got any veins
And the tin that it’s in
Kinda square, kinda thin
Ring pull lid
Key got rid
Spam don’t slice off your skin
So that’s Spam; good to eat
Not some cheap luncheon meat
Fried or cold
I’m just sold
Because Spam can’t be beat

When you attend a wedding,
You’d expect, one would assume,
That the planning would be geared for friends
Of both the bride and groom.
So it’s always a surprise, that as
The bride or groom’s mom’s friend,
There’d be oh, so many aspects
Of the wedding to commend.
Yes, my close friend’s daughter tied the knot,
The venue a delight,
The ceremony held outdoors,
The chuppah decked in white.
The food was all delicious
And the cocktail hour rocked,
With my favorite deli meats on rye –
Pastrami! I was shocked!
The ceremony was a blend
Of two religions, yet
Both traditions were included
In a magical duet.
The bride and groom were glowing
And the crowd could not help smile
When they joined the band to play the drums
With joy, pizzazz and style.
But the best part was the music,
Which made dancing not a choice,
For the pick of songs got everyone
To boogie and rejoice.
What was really most amazing
Was that all the dance tunes sung
Had familiar lyrics we all knew
From back when we were young.
Yet they spanned the generations
So the friends of groom and bride,
Plus their parents’ friends all hit the floor
With zeal they couldn’t hide.
Even grandkids danced a storm up
And their energy amazed!
Just watching them go on and on
Left some onlookers dazed.
Man, I haven’t had that kind of fun
In ages, which just proves
That the perfect setting helps us all
To bust out all our moves.

This man in Brooklyn named Isadore,
some big sandwiches he would adore.
Corned beef and pastrami,
and kosher salami.
He can’t fit in his clothes anymore.
Who says a limerick has to be Irish?

Overheard by a fly upon the wall
During Clinton's tete-a-tete with his moll
Order extra salami
And a tad more pastrami
For my pizza on your next service call

He comments Beuys’ art
they hang to his dentalia
in slimy appearance
menus on wrapping paper
then
note the mental thing
yes, yes, he said so,
and where are the nuts
the crackers, the slow food
crisscross
crosscriss
a cookie with my coffee
still harvests thoughts
wrong war thoughts
so wrong during the war
November sun
warms a sanitary finger
and goldfish in my hand
hidden under fallen leaves
in brown memories

Explanation
Joseph Beuys is a controversial artist, one of his
works is called 'food for thought'. I saw this at
the museum of psychiatry when I guided some folks;
theme of the exposition was "lost in memory".
Next to the museum is the garden where 3 of my
sculptural works can be visited. We did so.

George worked in a construction company. He spent all his days walking the steel beam but when he got home, he became the master of inventions. One night he borrowed his wife's ironing board and made himself a grilled cheese sandwich by pressing the iron to the bread. It was an ooy-gooey delight. While all the other men sat down to crusty bread, George pulled out his panini forkini pastrami alla bellini. He bit into it with great delight. The mozzarella sang to his tonsils, "Eres bella, Eres bella" Tiano's boombox voice was heard, "Heh George, there are 4 of us," which translated into, "Yo George, where is our bench pressed sandwich?"
That night he got an earful from his wife Juanita Delacruz, the Spanish Queen of complaint. "Dam it George. The ironing board is full of melted cheese and it smells like recycled beef " It was time to take the invention to new heights.
He made a mean machine of good taste. This is how George Foreman was birthed. In George Papadopoulos's shed. Though he was no son of a priest, he knew a blessing when he saw one. He was recompensed by a happy wife
and a jolly foursome crew.
There are rumors going around that it was really invented in some other form or way. I for one will stick to my story dear readers. If I fudged is just a bit please forgive me. Its a tad more entertaining, don't you think ?
Now here is my research paper on the matter, short and sweet.
"Truth be told ? It was promoted by a former boxing champion George Foreman. Since its introduction in 1994, over 100 million George Foreman grills have been sold worldwide.
Inventor?: ?Michael Boehm, Robert Johnson Inception?: ?1994"

persians pickled
firm and crunchy,
thin and pint size -
spice them with little red flakes
and briny water.
pack them side by side
in a sparkling jar.
twist, pop that top,
fork-stab those
puckery suckers.
serve:
alongside a sandwich -
perhaps a plump pastrami
or
with dumplings drizzled
with thick and savory gravy
or
combine spears with choice cheese
on an appetizer plate,
pleasing to the palate.
experience the hiss, the crunch,
the sluice of slipperiness —
the bumpy pleasantly-green dill.

I’d prefer
I’d prefer only to eat things I like.
I’d prefer to eat only in Rye.
Only I’d prefer
I’d only prefer
I’d prefer to eat things I like, like pastrami on rye.
But I’d rather die than have to dine
On a burger with wine.
Just stand in line and count til’ nine and then
You’ll learn to lie.
Only I would prefer to eat things you like
To bring to a party.
It’s partly me and then again it’s never been a part
Of me to take it to committee. When the vote comes in,
the inventory can begin.
I’m counting on the part that’s good,
the taste of tea and vinegar.
I’d prefer to eat only things I like, despite your good intentions.
Sample this and have some of that, whether I like it or not.
I’d rather have gin.
My address went something like this, and then ended
Up in Berchtesgaden.
Everyone wants a lair, only his had flair.
Six, seven, eight: who do we get to humiliate? It’s alright with me as long
As gays can marry.
I’m lonely. But I’d prefer to eat what I like, only
There is nothing left.
Pass me your plate.
I’d prefer to dine
alone.

DOGE boys Musk and Ramaswamy
Box their cold cuts with pastrami
They soon will behold
While napkins can fold
Budgets are not origami

Went to a deli
And piled way up high
Was the sandwich I ordered –
Pastrami on rye.
I slathered on mustard
And savored each bite
Along with a pickle,
The sour just right.
If you’re feeling hungry
I’d urge you to try
(In a real New York deli)
Pastrami on rye.
