A Feast of the Gods

Upon the table, the buffet stand
gourmet all in a row
gormandisers standing in line
plates on hand
to dig in the delectable

hearts from virgins so pure
sliced so thinly
peppered with chili
from beyond Cathay
piled up with shredded mango

innards and gizzards
of gutted rogues
stuffed with diced lotus roots
mixed with nuts and parsley
sprinkled with sauteed shallots

soft succulent brains
of baby monkeys
fried in soy sauce
with ginger and onion
celery cuts on top

the stew is thick
bones grounded fine
filled with potatoes
it is good hot stew
the diners are licking their lips

happy thanksgiving
tuck in
The turkeys
are all six-footers
Enjoy the entree.
