bacon v baconA Poem by Gill Fitzpatrickthe age old quandarySmoked or unsmoked?
That is the question! Which one is the
nobler? Do you have a suggestion? Each one distinct and
unique in its flavour So tell me, please tell
me! Which one do you favour? The smell of the smoked
one, you just can’t compare To the sniff of the
unsmoked that just lingers there Its smoked salty
sweetness, a joy on the tongue Smoked is the best one,
I’m sure I’m not wrong! But then when the
unsmoked is served on crisp toast I think maybe this
one’s the one I like most A sliver of sauce, must
be brown and not red Perhaps I like unsmoked
much better instead I can’t make my mind
up, I’m dazed and confused When shopping, I gaze
at them both, just bemused I just can’t commit,
not pledge one my troth And so in my basket,
you’ll find I have both! © 2023 Gill Fitzpatrick |
