Funnel Cake
The Scent of Fried Food Draws Me Towards the Booth
An Extremely Long Line, but Definitely Worth the Wait
Squeezed Batter Swirled and Dropped into Bubbling Oil
The Sizzle and Pop of Golden Perfection
The Hum of the Ice-cream Machine
Finally Served on a Platter
Crunch of Fried Batter
Sweet Strawberry Syrup
Melted Ice-cream
Heaven
ode to thick crusty saucy bacon and pineapple covered deliciousness
TAP……………TAP on the door! I’m already reaching for the
Knob because yes I was watching out the window………
Belly rumbling grinding sounding out its empty hunger
I pay……… I thank ……. take the box
It’s hot…….. oh my it smells
So good! Lift the lid
And free a slice
Mmm I bite
Into my
Pizza!
Ode to a food I miss, no thanks to COVID-19
Ode to the best food I’ve ever found; that’s right,
the succulentest food you will ever chance to meet!
This food’s as luscious as it is smooth,
a food revealed by my sweet niece.
I cry when I eat it
because it is so GOOD!
Orgasmic, Euphoric, Delightful, Ecstatic,
Roasted nightshade spread,
Baba ganoush,
Eggplant!
