Corn bread and collard greens
Fried catfish and hot sauce
Smothered pork chops
Fish and grits
Baked macaroni and cheese
Shrimp and rice
Biscuits and molasses
Rice and beans
Memories of times when a good and simple meal
Gave you strength before and after
Long days of work
Though times were hard and workdays long
These meals and much more
Brought some comfort to life’s chores.
