The Meat I Can Eat

 

I always have loved meatloaf,

Mom made it, oh, so well,

That tender, sweet deliciousness

And what a sav’ry smell!

 

She paired it with potatoes,

And veggies, butter-y,

Then after grace was uttered,

She heaped a plate for me!

 

Oh, how I loved the flavour,

Onion, garlic was divine,

A hint of ripe tomato,

And spices were just fine!

 

I gobbled first and seconds,

And sometimes even thirds,

Mouth full of meat, potatoes,

Too delicious e’en for words!

 

Years have past, and Husby

Now wears the meatloaf ‘wreath’,

What I love the most about it now?

For it, I don’t need teeth!

With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So  Karen , Charlotte, Mimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?
