Haiku52:
Our thoughts on food and cooking
In seventeen beats.

Yesterday we found
a grill on the street. God,
is this a signal?

don't teach us to fish—
teach us to grill, and to drink,
and to eat outside.

I have a thing for most foods topped with a fried egg, a strange disdain for overly soupy tomato sauce, and I can never make it home without ripping off the end of a newly-bought baguette. I like spoons very much.

A cookout for us?
It is an absolute must
Bust out the rib rub.

I would love to grill.
If only the rain and hail
would cease and desist!

Rain, rain, go away!
There are dogs to grill. Ketchup
and mustard await.
