Poetry Monday is a challenge, normally hosted by Diane at On the
Border. But starting this January she's taking a break due to health
issues, and Messymimi and I have conspired
to keep the chair warm for her. We will each set the topics for one month, I began with January,
Mimi supplied for February, and so on until Diane returns.

Today's word is Pizza ~ The sun is shining, the trees are green, it's time to dig, and sow, and weed, and rearrange, and, and, and ... But still I like thinking up poems, this time just a short one.
A pizza is a nice, round thing
One of the pleasures hungers bring
Bottom made of crispy bread,
on it spread tomatoes red,
Mushrooms white and melting cheese,
ham and shrimps my palate please.

And a bonus. Pizza made me think of this totally crazy German song called "Ich bin ein Döner" (I am a döner kebab).
If any Germans around -- Hallo Iris und Karen Myyrätohtori -- Ja ich höre gern Deutsche Partyschlagersänger ;) Und korrigieren Sie bitte alle Fehler.
The refrain goes like this in German:
Baguette macht fett,
Sushi macht wuschi,
Pizza macht spitzer,
aber Döner macht schöner.
Let's try that in English:
Baguette makes fat,
Sushi makes woozy,
Pizza makes spiteful (or maybe horny - my German slang is dated! - 20 years since we stayed there)
but Döner makes prettier.

Next Monday: Politics
Smiling at your poem - though my preferred flavours don't include ham or shrimps.
SvarSletAnchovises and pineapples are my favourites, but they're tough for rhyming purposes ;)
SletPizza is almost always sure to please, especially if everyone can have their favorite toppings.
SvarSletSure, we make homemade ones, so - different toppings to please everyone ;)
SletVery good poems. I have never had shrimps on a pizza but I wouldn't mind trying thta one day.
SvarSletShrimps on pizza is good - on a pizza bianca it's a bit like shrimps alfredo.
