Roger A. Davis

Chili con queso with crispy flour chips
Lay's potato chips and french onion dip
Sautéed mushrooms and medium-well K.C. strip
McDonald's french fries smothered in ketchup

Crushed ice with Coke or Pepsi
Hot fudge shake or sweetened ice tea
Grape slush or cherry limeade
Peach cobbler and ice cream, homemade

Most of my favorites are listed here
My mom's fried chicken, I hold very dear
Her chocolate chip cookies are the tops
Let’s not forget her rice and pork chops

A juicy double hamburger with cheese
Onions, mayo, catsup, hold the lettuce, please
Fried fish, shrimp cocktail, most seafood
Lobster and crab legs, this would include

Steak fajitas with guacamole and sour cream
Pizza Hut, thick crust supreme
Did I mention my wife's baked beans?
Her enchiladas and lasagna, best by all means

You probably haven’t finished this piece of prose
Because of the saliva and hunger throes
Welcome back from your food search
Hey, no problem leaving me in the lurch

Because, while you were gone, I thought of more
Ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and a campfire smores
Scalloped corn and hamburger tater tot casserole
Strawberry preserves on Pillsbury crescent roll

Doughboy died of tummy touching and yeast infection
Hot dogs are made of chicken lips and other rejection
Please remember this, escargot is not fast food
Sure hope these last lines didn't spoil the mood
