artisan bread sliced
I baked on a stone
in a oven medium
on a warm summer day
placed on a stoneware platter white
on a table of butcher block
with the condiments I’d need
to prepare my noon feast
from the deli bought
baloney fresh as can be
on a platter laid out
slices fresh and round
to complement these
from the grocery I got
a tin of bright red
with Ritz crackers filled
with a butter knife spread
mayo pure and white
mustard nice and brown
tart as I like
round slices I did spread
upon the white bread
and covered them all
with crackers mirroring them
rebellion did raise
it’s little ugly head
and swiss slices square
on them I did spread
a second bread slice
to top it all off
to complete my noon feast
now ready to eat

Have not eaten any in decades. Drooling and may go get a few slices from Eastern Market Deli. Also overdue for a Reubin on a fat onion roll! A great write!

would only say that the red dye #2 in balogna is sodium nitrate which
combines with the amino acids in the meat to form carcinogenic
nitrosamines
