BUFFET FODDER

 

Let’s go for a pizza

I often hear said

but I’d much rather eat a

real meal instead.

 

It’s okay as a snack

but I really can’t hack

it served as a meal

it has no appeal.

 

Dried up tomatoes

on cardboard beds

should be fed to the crows

or buried in lead.

 

Healthy nutritional and complete

primo, il secondo, il contorno, plus sweet

Italian food sends the taste buds soring

but a pizza on its own is really quite boring.
