A Poem for World Food Day

Eating Etiquette 101; 

  where you from? 

[She]

Why do you eat chicken that way

Don't you know it is much better

when you eat while holding it with

your fingers

Reasons come by the multitudes 
Main one being of course is that

Fingers were made before your forks

And that way when you're done you can

lick your fingers 

[He]

But here's my reason for the fork 

Major, differences in locale 

Our upbringing tells the story 

mine north of Mason-Dixon line 

while you're from the South

My poem, boyhood of prairie life

Prairie Boy 

Born on the prairie 
in an upstairs bedroom 

Sod busters came there 
early eighteen hundreds 

Seven miles from town 
share cropper mom and dad 

One twenty acres 
Eastern Nebraska hills 

Too small for a horse 
he rode his bike to school 

First girl friend was there 
Storm cellar clandestine  

Changed schools for high school 
rode horse grades nine ten 

He helped on the farm 
and milked cows year around 

Last two years in town 
he earned a scholarship 

End of prairie life 
Jimmy had made big town
