She looked healthy enough
As her long delicate fingers
Lovingly caressed the can of Spam.

She couldn't decide between
The regular, lite, turkey or smoked.
Two cans went into her basket
One came out..and back and forth.

She appeared to be on a diet
Of fat and salt that only
Cubed cans of gelatinous meat
Could satisfy.

Never mind the baby at home
craving creamed carrots,
Or hubby at work
with a juicy steak on his mind.

Finally she moved on with
At least a dozen shining
cans of mystery meat in the basket.
The Hormel people would be proud.

Believe me...

It was a sad day for the Armour Treet
Left still on the shelf..
Taking comfort from a neighboring jar
Of Penrole Pickled Eggs.

ROFLMAO... You have just described Balladeer's dream woman... especially if she also cleaned the shelves of vienna sausages! *G*

I enjoyed this! *S*

This is cute with a vivid imagination working.
I like spam once in a while. Fried crisp and tender.

I chuckle. This is very imaginative and well written. Thank you for snatching away my winter blahs!

Those cravings are enough to drive a girl mad!

Too funny!

I still gag when I think of the SPAM sandwiches my Mom used to make...
