Gumbo on the Bayou

Fresh from your shower
you drop your towel
I swear the holy Trinity stood before me
patted dry to perfection
spreading oil over your deep fryer
I sautéed over to your side
noting its going to take both hands
and a big spoon
to stir everything you’re dishing out
combining your floured whiteness
with my heated drippings
is going to make a perfect roux
but let’s turn the heat up slowly
we wouldn’t want to scorch anything
Mmmm I can smell what you’re stirring
a little seafood added to the mix
and don’t forget my sausage
I know you want the whole link
you’re right these two boiled eggs
need to be peeled carefully
and allowed to float around
in all our sauce
sucking up the flavor
you know, this has simmered long enough
and I see how you’ve been eyeing
my big bottle of hot sauce
the moons already up
so what do you say
we move all this out to the pier
spread it all out
and do like the gators
and chomp down on it
