Opening Bids Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Fresh fish frying,
Batter dipped...
And deep fried.
Homemade potato strips,
Still commonly called 'French Fries'.

Baked beans brown sugared...
With corn cob on the side.
Add my three egg cornbread mix,
Brings tears to eaters eyes!

Surprised I'm not,
I've got them hooked.
I want them to think of me,
As a naturally gifted cook.

And besides...
I've taken time like this,
To ensure they are fed...
And satisfied near bliss.

Introducing something different,
Done with pride!
I raise my hand high,
Catching stunned looks...
With wide smiling eyes.

Announce I do,
That discounts are offered.
Opening bids for my new books...
Starting an auction by this author!
