Ode to a Salami Sandwich

Ode to a Salami Sandwich

I got home late

And could not eat

My dinner with my family

And so I ate

A meaty treat

That satisfied a hungry me

Some nutty bread

Whole grain, no doubt,

To live a slightly healthy life

And then I spread

The mayo out

On both the pieces with a knife

Then cut the cheese 

(No, not like that!)

It’s gouda, with its waxy rind

Salami, please!

It’s full of fat

And salt and meat bits all entwined

I stacked the meat

I stacked it thick

I smashed it flat with all my might

And though this treat

Might make me sick

I’m loving every single bite
