Okay! Be prepared for a bit of silliness my friends… I figured since this was a recipe for a poet, what better then to put it into a little poem?
A Recipe for Poets
Gather your cheese of choice
whether it brie or simply
medium cheddar
or the comfort of smooth
fresh mozzarella
or a combination of all three!
And if you are of a mind
to be more kind
on your heart,
I will find it acceptable
to substitute low-fat.
Let’s start at the oven
a low-medium simmer,
slice a sliver of sweet
Irish butter
and lay it upon the spitting
skillet followed by
a piece of bread.
Now, do not fear
if butter is scary!
Simply spray two spritzes
of first cold pressing
first cold pressing
extra virgin olive oil,
because quality is a must.
With bread toasting, place
slices of bone-healthy
cheese, calcium necessary
due to excessive days
sitting, staring in front
of a computer screen
and as this gourmet grilled cheese
fit for a queen
melts to perfection
head outside
:quick now:
to pinch a sprig
of spicy basil
and upon returning
turn three times
before your window sill
and thank the sun
before feather-light
flicking of flaked spicy
leaves on your cheese
menagerie.
Place sandwich on plate
beside 2 cups precise
organic spinach in a
parmesan vinaigrette
French bath,
and do not forget two generous
heaps of raspberries
and blackberries.
Bon appétit!
