Midnight Snack
Ham and Swiss on rye
with romaine lettuce,
slices of fresh tomato,
spread with yellow mustard
or the brown, pretentious kind,
lastly a dollop of mayo
turkey can be just as sublime
tummy rumbling
as the pen traverses the page
no mind the hour
or actually acting my age
I succumb to tastebuds
irresistible power
so, it's off to the fridge
alert saliva gland prods
to prepare and consume
the true food of the gods.
