Ode to BBQ

The naughty sister of ketchup

Spices up the dullest of meals:

Mom’s dry pork

Your frozen pizza

Soggy,reheated leftover chicken tenders.

 

This saucy miss instantly transforms

A lukewarm burrito made with ingredients

Stolen from roommates with actual culinary skills

Into a creative, delectable masterpiece.

 

This southern-born vixen

Is good for slathering ribs,

Drowning chicken, and soaking pork

Served on fresh, thick buns

With sides of potatoes fried, baked or mashed

But best suckled from sticky fingers.

Thank you! I had to write an ode for class over an unexpected topic. I thought it would be fun to personify something like BBQ. Thanks for reading!
