Comfort Food

      Comfort Food for Me: 

        A list poem of sorts 

It's apple pie and vanilla ice cream 

   calms me down for all day 

Before that my breakfast,  apple fritter 

   with cuppa black coffee 

There will not be those pastry wheels for me 

   fattening, off for years 

About ten o'clock there's granola bars 

   bars and more black coffee 

Two in a pack and that's enough for me 

   Now my coffee's Half Calf 

At noon it's a hot dog, cheese and mustard 

   With Diet Coke and ice 

Potato chips of course, onion dip 

   Share my coke with my wife 

Youth on the farm and in the corn fields 

   Ladies brought lunch at four 

Before the dark bring in the grazing cows 

   Cake and decaf coffee 

Not on the farm now still habbits remain 

   Red apple will tide me 

Seven strikes on the clock bides wash to eat 

   Hoping for some roast beef 

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes fills the bill 

   Used Mother's recipe 

Green string beans and red beets. Suggered ice tea 

   Leftover apple pie 

Ten o'clock and bed bed time snack, watch the news 

   Ice cream, not apple pie
