Humble is Sweeter Served Between Two Crusts!
The Indigestibles
No room for mushrooms, can’t live with liver.
The thought of brains just makes me shiver.
Though I like pizza, my other law
is I don’t eat tomatoes raw!
Drinking milk’s against my wishes.
Fish is simply for the fishes.
I eat no veal or other baby,
and steak for me is simply “maybe.”
So if it’s your plan to invest
in things that I like to ingest,
I won’t make it any harder
for you to come and stock my larder.
All else you want to bring to feed me—
what edibles you wish to cede me:
Injera, curries, Thai, Chinese—
all are sure to tempt and please.
Except for one thing I just thought of
that in the past I’ve had a lot of.
There’s one more mouthful I won’t try.
I have no taste for humble pie!
(Yes, ’tis true. You’ve seen this before. Not enough hours in the day lately, and if the prompt fits, reblog it, I say!!!!)

My feelings exactly. I like my pie sweet or tart or maybe both. With a little bit of crunchiness.

That’s how I like my humble, as well.

My favorites: pumpkin with ice cream, not whipped cream, pecan pie–same way, blueberry or cherry pie ala mode or chocolate pie with both whipped cream and ice cream. No to rhubarb, sweet potato or mince pie. Hell, yeah to all others. Apple can be great if cooked until apples are tender with just the right amount of cinnamon…not too much. All with pie dough crusts, not graham cracker. (Just in case you were thinking of baking me a pie and bringing it down to Mexico. You’d be lucky, because they’d make you eat it at the border or they would confiscate it and probably eat it themselves. Too bad for moi.

What a fun poem! Food is always a good subject for the funnies. Enjoyed this immensely, Judy. I’m a relative newbie to the world of blogging, so I haven’t seen this before.

Thanks, Olga. When I can’t be profound, I settle for funny~~~ ;o)

The poem actually made me hungry, which is extremely therapeutic for me at this lonely, dreary, November-y time of year. So, please accept my biggest “thanks a bunch!” for that, and for the laughter. You are really clever!

Thanks, lilykatz. Were you hungry for all the things I don’t like to eat? See what a service I provide, leaving more for those who appreciate the “grownup” foods in life?
