Cracker Barrell Poem by Gio Masserati

Cracker Barrell



Comfort food
Inexpensive, what?
Never in the mood
For food like that
I mean, don't get me wrong
Love comfort and food and comfort food
But I tried it twice
Tasted like the picture
Can that even be a thing?
Has to because was my experience
Like in the old days
TV dinners as a kid
Banquet 🐔 Chicken dinner...
Fried Chicken,
Mashed potatoes w gravy,
Buttered 🌽,
Chocloate Brownie for dessert
...mm then, but now?
Was kinda good, kinda bad
Here...try it!
Ewe! Cardboard! ? ...
Hey! It's not that bad!
Like I said,
Tastes like a picture
Keep it up!
Just want to eat at home
Thank you very much
I like my food to be comforting
But, edible and stuff...

Oh this poem! Deliciously clever and appetizing. Beats Swanson TV cardboard dinners any time. I remember them well, just as you so jovially described. Still smiling and satisfied By your humorous, Poetic talent, Here, magnified. Who knew That a TV dinner Could also put you In such a good mood, Too! Thanks, Gio
