Food Labels

Fifty percent less fat
Than the regular
With no hydrogenated oils,
Preservatives or cholesterol
Stand out for attention.
Vanilla cake with
Mystery words are out of the mix.
Fair trade cup of the old Joe's kind has perks and
Salt of the sea and sauce of the soy
With red wine, balsamic, and rice vinegar,
Make a splash in my book.
Macaroni of the bleached kind
Is now discriminated against
The dark wheat kind,
And yet some
Wheat Thins really aren't
What they claim.
It all comes down to a label
Because nothing processed
Is something gained.

    Great pizza
    Must have
    A crust deep as the canyon wind
    Sauce out to the edges of time
    Flavor as fresh as lemon

    There is for me no greater tastier treat
    Then one of my very favorite meals to eat,
    a steaming plate of bubble and squeak.

    Sweet surrender,
    Tantalizi ng scents,
    Mouth watering morsels,
    Heavenly aromas,
