Of Food and Love

Have I got the hots for you
You've altered my eating habits
What am I gonna do
Apple, Cucumber, and a sliced
Chilli too

Toasted as a toastie
I only made, just two
I didn't add the cheese
I substituted with green
Chilli, twas tasty & mean

A lovely combination
I had never tried before
But yum, yum
Filled the tumm
I even looked for more

But disciplined I'll be
I threatened not,
To eat too much
Today for my tea.


I remember years ago
When at primary School
My Mum discovered
A new combo sandwich fill
Raisins with curry powder
I remember the taste still

Walnut and apple another
Tempting taste
Corned beef, Onion & Tomato sauce
Used as a paste
Through a blender as a spread
Thickly on a lump of bread

Thank you my dear
For adding to my palate

Twas a lovely combination
The flavour lingers on
The sweetness of the apple
And the spike of Chilly too

Just sent this to say
Mum
I love you,Yes I do

scher: I know what you speak, the foods of our youth are close to our soul, plain though they may be, we love and yearn for them ...right? Too bad there isn't a recipe corner eh?

To my poetic Friends
Thank you for your comments
Dave, food comes under the heading love,
Carol,Whatever do you mean, of course I love my mother
Although she's gone 5 years
True.. replaced with another !!
and yes my dear, cheese,
well can be fattening,
and especially at night;
may produce nightmares ,
rather than dreams
of pure delight
hug
handshake
kiss
