Pot roast potluck

Harry and Mabel knew not what to do.
All they had for supper was an old gym shoe.
Sally and Fred had a pot of gravy,
So Mabel mused, "Well, maybe just maybe..."

She called up her mother who lived in Capris,
And shared her dilemma, her terrible quandary.
"Just chop up some veggies and add white rice,
Then pour in some gravy and lots of strong spice.

"For the gravy covers all sins, you see,
And with the right mix it'll truly be,
Scrumptious! Delicious! (If you've got the nerve,
To invite over guests and that's what you serve!").

So Mabel cooked the gym shoe pot roast.
She served it with wine and made a grand toast:
"Blessed are we who eat so well,
Just try to ignore the terrible smell!"
