Short Pastrami Poems

Sauerkraut in the kitchen
Chased the pastrami away
Now I can’t make a Reuben.
Start of a really bad day....

now she thinks she’s pastrami...

Mr. Rudy Giuliani
In New York piles high the hot pastrami
   
  Testifying before Washingtonian swamis
  He's begging for extra-thin-sliced salami...

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?...

         And a tad more pastrami

            Fer my pizza on yer next service call!"

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!"

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....

Best Sandwich Ever 

Sam Adams favorite sandwich
Was the make it yourself sandwich
Served at the Ashland Oregon, Co-Op
A modified BLT sandwich on Gluten-free bread 
Cheese, roast beef or pastrami, bacon 
Sprouts, lettuce, tomatoes, dill pickles, peppers  
Mayo, mustard, ketchup 
Just heaven in every delicious bite...

The restaurant was noisy;
We shouted when we talked.
If I had been from Boise,
I’m sure I would have balked.

But all the hungry tourists
Outside Katz’s formed a line.
For deli, we’re not purists
So the other place seemed fine.

The food was mediocre;
The service merely fair,
But rain was the provoker
So we ended up in there.

Yet it was what we needed,
A refuge from the wet
So convenience superseded
The pastrami we’d not get....

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...
