Delicious Poem by Paul Butters

Delicious

Rating: 3.5


Television cooks rarely do
Fish, chips and mushy peas
With spotted dick for afters.

No
It's got to be
Creamy coconut curry
With Balingud Zalud
Soaked in Chimichurri sauce.

Or Jalapena Lime Slaw
Accompanied by spicy Sriracia mayo
And Rachero Sauce.
Plus a side-dish of fluffy soufflés.

The starter is a vibrant veggy ratatouille
With sashimi, tacos and tortillas.

But then there's always vemuelli noodles,
Pommes frittes
Teriyehi
Thana messala
And Enchilada Casserole
Covered in Romesco Sauce
Or Hollandaise
With Falafels and couscous.
Then Neapolitan Ice Cream souffled Erotica.

All impossible of course.
But don't we love
The sheer seduction of those Words.

Aloha Paul and Cheers! Butters? Whatever! Thinking out loud is such a crime these daze! Yet Good Sir... Your words are wonderfully resonating... colour filled and fine for debating just how words do effect the human thinking condition... say... your fine examples versus Sars-cov-2 virus... Yea, big distinct difference! Great wright! All of the best from this life, to you, and to all of our relations... Michaelw1two
