Elbow Room

An assortment of fresh healthy veggies
leafy and green and godly
strewn over pasta -just macaroni and fusilli
celery broccoli chopped spring onions
tomatoes just the right colour and firmness
cucumber baby corn, and bell peppers
green red orange but not jalapenos
the tang tailored to taste
umm...Cherries make it too sweet
but a healthy colouration is requisite
though the tomatoes will bring the red
the cherries do bring in a dissimilar chromatic quality
now for the dressing-the adornment
mayonnaise wee bit extra
shrouding the vegetables thoroughly
without making them soggy though
the way it sometimes gets
thats a turn-off
the crunch should remain
'Coz therein lies the punch
but that's a trick to achieve
it shouldnt taste raw you know
the crunch should compliment the marshy quality
otherwise its all just a big sham
And cider-vinegar, crushed garlic cloves
salt and pepper to taste
the fluxing and mixing is as important
as the chopping with a precise hand into precise shapes
the tossing-careful without being sloppy
the dressing should seep in, embrace the items
thereafter comes the aroma..oh...
the aroma of perfection..beau ideal
it fills the lungs with appetite
-the mouth with gustatory perception.
the aroma is a tell-tale.
besides, the presentation is prime
like an architectural wonder on a plate
the aesthetics wedded to the build
ah! there it is..just the way i like it..
Spot on-ready to be dug in..
Oh...but wait...whats that-
there..on the other side
there...looks like.. Roasted Chicken
oh a pox upon it!
she couldnt eat the whole in one sitting?
umm...luscious...doesnt seem over/undercooked
The way it sometimes gets
juicy and meaty...sinful..
oh...just the way i like it...
