The Perfect Combination

We go good together

The Perfect Combination

by jack

 

 

A-1 on your sirloin

Butter on your bread

Chocolate on your ice cream

Or butterscotch instead

 

Cream cheese on your bagels

Jelly on your toast

Maybe peanut butter

Which do you like the most

 

Salsa for tamales

Lemon for your fish

Onion dip for vegetables

Delicious on your dish

 

Pinto beans in chili

Carrots cooked in stew

Bacon on your meatloaf

Chicken cordon bleu

 

Chives on your potato

Sugar in your tea

Pickles on your burger

Crackers for your cheese

 

Garlic for your pasta

Sauce upon it too

Milk poured in your cereal

Slices of fresh fruit

 

Gravy on your biscuits

Sausage would be nice

Cocktail sauce for jumbo shrimp

In a bowl with ice

 

Syrup on your pancakes

Frosting on your cake

Cream upon your peaches

A salt and pepper shake

 

Caramel on your apples

Seafood and white wine

Cottage cheese upon your pears

It’s so much fun to dine

 

Mayo on your sandwich

Ketchup on your fries

Dressing on your salad

Whipped cream on your pies

 

So many combinations

That we see each day

When we’re having dinner

Breakfast, lunch or play

 

To enhance each other

Nothing left to waste

Flavors come together

In the name of taste

 

There’s one combination

The best one I can see

Not to do with eating

Because it’s you and me

 

So perfect now together

Like ham on top of cheese

Lettuce and tomato

Onions in your peas

 

Or mustard on your hotdog

Relish on it too

The perfect combination

Is always me and you

 

Wonderful together

Sometimes sweet or tart

Soft and always tender

This love inside our hearts

 

Of all the combinations

Only one will do

That is when my arms are wrapped

Tightly around you

 

Combining of our hearts

Knowing that it’s true

This combination built on love

Forever me and you

This is one sweet poem! How you thought of the myriad of combinations is beyond me. I am happy that I have eaten dinner this evening! This was an absolute joy to read and the ending as an ode to a soulmate was priceless.

Ha only you could get from there to here, I'll take the seafood & wine please. Very much enjoyed this one, put a smile on my face, and now I"m starving to death!!

[Jack...]

Well then eat my friend, wouldn't want you to waste away to nothing. Thanks Frieda, got to throw a fun one in every once in a while.

You've spelt 'Perfect' wrong in your title hun.

This was a great write, Jack! Very witty but also sweet and cute. You come up with some splendid writes, very talented!

[Jack...]

Thank you so much for the heads up, I have since corrected my mistake. Obviosuly not the perfect combination of letters there.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I truly appreciate you stopping by and reading my fun poem.

It was still perfect :) Anytime, it was great!

[Veronica Chandler]

I was going to come up with some really cleaver, insightful review..., but now I am too hungry and thinking of warm apple pie a la mode instead of the point of this delightful piece. I can see the melting vanilla ice cream dripping down the sides of the perfect piece pie. But the sweetness in this poem has me smiling ear to ear too...

[Jack...]

Thank you Veronica...it is why not Wednesday!

[Veronica Chandler]

"Why Not?"

[Kristallo]

Well done. I liked this one a lot, you've combined two of my favorite things so admirable and with visual finesse for the senses. The cadence throughout was fun and uninterrupted from the first line to the last, and the last stanza was awe-inspiringly sweet. Terrific poem.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much. I am happy it satisfied your appetite.

[LadySoDivine]

This is such a funny poem! Very witty but also sweet at the same time. Somehow it reminds me of Dr. Seuss. :D I really enjoyed reading it!

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much. It was fun to write.

[Baby Ricochet]

I'm starving.

[Jack...]

Let them eat cake! Thanks my friend.

[Rita L. Sev]

This is so much fun! Whimsical and sweet; Makes me feel like eating something and hugging my husband at the same time. (You have a lot of great food combos, but forgot hot mustard on your soft pretzel!) ;) Really love this one!

[Jack...]

Yeah I did forget that one and it is one of my favorites. Thank you so very much for your comments.
