Hah! Beth!
What a hoot!
I laughed aloud as I read through your well-crafted lines.
I've never been able to create the quality of homemade meals that my mother did. My trick? Always make certain everyone is close to, and then serve! :) (Oh, Mom! This is soooooo good! Almost as good as grandma's cooking!) :)
Thank you for sharing!
Best Wishes!
Fondly,

Geesh! I need to proofread closer:
I meant, "Always make certain everyone is close to starving..."
Take Care!

Comment from Brenda Strauser
I really enjoyed this story. Very creative and witty. The picture goes well with the words. I liked the way it ended. I was a pretty good cook and didn't need much help from my mom. Besides that, my mom wasn't the best cook. Great job!

Thanks Brenda, I appreciate the review and comments. Since you didn't mention any problems with it I wonder if you accidently hit the wrong rating key. It's okay if your didn't, but you were the only one out of 28 that gave me less than a five so I always ask. It is easy to do.

oh, I am sorry. I did it by mistake. Can i go back and change iy

No problem, you can change it to a five. I've accidentally done it myself. I hope people tell when I do.

Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
This is a truly delightful poem. I loved the Irish setting, the wife's plotting for meals, her husband's pleasure in them, and, best of all, the delightful surprise ending.

Comment from Ric Myworld
It's sounds hard enough for me to think about writing a poem, but writing a story in a poem seems almost impossible. But you've proved me wrong. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from jmdg1954
Yuckkkkkk....
I had a bad feeling about this when I neared the end,
That though tasteful, it may cause them to up-end.
The moral to the story, learn to cook so you know what you eat,
Because out of a package, it may sometimes not be meat!
Best of luck in the contest, Beth..

Thank you John. You're all about cooking and how different things might taste so I'm sure my poem did gross you out a bit.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I've said it before, Beth, your poems are often laugh out loud funny. I wonder what Paddy thought of ashes mixed with water, lol!
This is such a fun story, well told through your rhymes. My favorite line, "he'd become his granddaughter's protein".
Good luck with this in the contest - you've got a contender here.

Thank you Pam. Paddy had to have a lot of wine to get it down. I remember you had some people eating in your story too. If I would have to eat someone, I think I'd rather deal with them as a dry powder. LOL
