POTLUCK

Pickles and beets
A good combination
Add in some peas
A fantastic creation.

Pork fat and sardines
What were you thinking?
Add in some mustard
And milk, just for drinking.

Fry it or bake it
Boil it or simmer
You know that I’m hungry
I’m ready for dinner.

Get out the ladle
A spoon and a cup
Add in some carrots
Some salt and ketchup.

Can it, or serve it
If it turns to jelly
Just serve it up
Make room in your belly.

Down goes the pasta
Frog legs and more
Don’t forget dessert
We’re making smores.
