Grilled Cheese or Ribs?

Hate to eat late, but I have to eat when I get home from work, even late...

GRILLED CHEESE OR RIBS…?


 


NOT INTO COOKING,


WHEN HOME FROM WORK I GET, LATE,


BETTER TO JUST THROW IN THE OVEN,


THE FOOD WE USED TO FISH WITH, YES THE BAIT…


 


WHILE MAKING UP MY MIND,


MY NEIGHBOR, OH SO KIND,


BROUGHT OVER SOME WONDERFUL RIBS,


BOTH RUFUZ AND I ATE LIKE KIDS,


EATING THEM ALL DOWN,


WITH NARY A STOP TO BREATHE,


BUT WE WERE BOUND,


TO EAT OUR FILL AND MORE,


NO MATTER HOW MUCH MORE ROUND,


IT CAUSED ME TO BE FOUND…


 


So, the grilled cheese idea, thankfully got nixed,


and quite thoroughly kicked,


right out the door,


the moment the ribs,


came in, I got dibs…


 


Rufuz got the bones,


which he seemed to love just the same,


to him, anything different is never lame…
