Breviário das coisas breves

a food poem

wrap me in bread crumbs
toast me till I’m brown
roll me out in pastry
turn me upside down
stick me in with pasta
mix me in the pan
turn me into casserole
bake me with a flan

I’ll spice up every meal time
make a culinary treat
that will make you the envy
of everyone you meet

I’ll top your mash potato
season up your soup
stop your custard sticking
fill the ice cream scoop
and when the party’s over
and lettuce starts to sag
you can take me home forever
in your little doggy bag


(Jim Bennett, Madelaine)
