Julia Child Cooks with Spam

       
(Found Poem created from the spam comments on my Wordpress Blog)

Add grain to
cover the sides of a 
9 inch three layer cake. 
Roll with wine bottles.
In case the dough tears somewhat, 
don’t fret—

Shred some coconut,
obtain pseudo crab, 
an apple,
walnuts,
have a salad!

Then get the dough
smoldering hot and
wrap those cupcakes!

Pick out the right pumpkin,
reduce it,
consume 3 ounces a day,
along with a mug off coffee—
Always a healthy snack.

Make grilled corn sheets 
with a homemade vinaigrette,
veer away from the usual 
pile of meat.

Since chocolate appeals to many people,
get a lot of spam,
to get that “perfect balance”
in every cookie.

You’ll be pleasantly surprised!
