Some harbor favor for gourmet
cuisine:
Caviar, pheasant or filet mignon.
Trendy like crepe suzettes, crème brulee, sushi,
Mildly to wildly exotic in theme.
Others, like me, have a simpler palette:
Meatloaf, potatoes, hot apple pie,
Pintos, okra and fried green tomatoes,
Coffee, no sugar, and light on the cream.
Buttermilk cornbread to crumble like sugar,
Biscuits with jelly, a savory sweet,
Mother’s fried chicken, a finger-food favorite
Served up on Sunday, a family buffet.
I would not argue or offer a protest
To anyone’s favor for fanciful foods, but
Pintos, okra and fried green tomatoes are
More than enough to get me through the day.
