We know it costs extra, but we just couldn’t resist! This week’s Typewriter Rodeo poem is an ode to the avocado.
Avocados
Oh you luscious
Lump of green
Are you veggie? or nut?
Or something in between?
The way you softly smush
Into guacamole dip
So good I don’t even
Need a chip
I could eat you plain
I don’t mean to boast
Or drop you in salad
Or spread you on toast
In tortilla soup
You’re the perfect topping
Oh no, avocado,
We’re not stopping
A heavenly consistency
A delectable color
When it comes to food goodness
There is no other
Yes you, avocado,
Sliced smushed or whole
I love every bit
Of your smooth, green, soul.
