Is there a kind of food that you
truly detest?  Do you ever pinch your
nose or stick out your tongue when
you see certain foods on the table?
There is one food that I especially
don't  like.  So much that I was
inspired to write    .  .  .








Farewell  My  Anchovy

.     .     .

Farewell my anchovy, You're leaving my plate. You're oily and slimy, And doomed in your fate. Your texture is terrible, It's that rotten smell I dread; You make me want to spit and yell, If I lick you I'll drop dead. Awful, horrible, disastrous, bad; Horrendous, distasteful, pungent - how sad. Malodorous, atrocious, sickening, foul; You're not food for me, but you might be                                                       for an owl. Go find a living, Anywhere but here. Here you're not welcome, Nor any place near. You're banished to Siberia, Where they might cut you some slack. I wish you well on your journey, And don't ever come back. - S.C. age 9
