Craving Real Food

So tired of baked chicken

Count tofu as something fake

I don’t mind tuna salad

But today I crave a steak.

Creamed beef might get by

For more palatable fair I beg

Just a few grits, of course with butter

Topped with a soft fried egg.

<o:p> </o:p>

Baked halibut for some will suffice

I’ve heard it called a great dish.

For my taste buds nothins better

Than fried southern  catfish.

<o:p> </o:p>

I eat broccoli, asparagus and such

Even, at times, some Brussel sprouts

A pot of pinto beans and neck bones

Will surely bring out the shouts.

<o:p> </o:p>

Wheat germ bread is okay

Pumpernickel, wheat, even rye

But, a pan of buttered cornbread surely

Will satisfy my taste buds’ eye.

<o:p> </o:p>

Some stuff just may be cool

Frozen yogurt- it’s alright

What’s wrong with a scoop of real ice cream

At least every other night.

<o:p> </o:p>

Crumpets and tea might be sweet

Or dessert I might just pass by

But how can you expect me to give up

Both apple and sweet potato pie.

<o:p> </o:p>

Fruit cocktail and ginger snaps

Don’t take long to get old

An occasional pinch of ambrosia

has never hurt a soul.

<o:p> </o:p>

Okay, okay, okay

<o:p> </o:p>

I watch my diet like I’m suppose

So please do not misunderstand

Give me just a little slack, cause

I’m just an old time southern eatin man.
