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!

Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,
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?

With OPERA as our topic,

Next week is sure to be,

The best one in a long time,

At least t’will be for me!

Thinking of joining us for Poetry Monday?

We'd love to welcome you!
