PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It was a meal that my late mom cooked but it sure didn't please.

Every New Year Day, Mom cooked hog jowls and black-eyed peas.

I always ate it but it was something that I didn't enjoy at all.

I would've rather had pizza, Domino's was who I should've called.

I don't have to eat those meals anymore and it sets my mind at ease.

Thank God that I no longer have to eat hog jowls and black-eyed peas.
