Grits Is


Grits is singular -
It modifies
the appetite good
and defines the place where
grits is from.
If this ain't clear -
to them born north of here -
all these fancy words cain't
convince 'em
All I'm saying is
that grits is - nothin' -
'er nothin' but cream of corn
Lots of import-ed people
eat cream of wheat -
but down hea'h
we eat grits -
hot 'n - special
with real
cow butter
just smotherin' 'em
sorta' gooey like
Go ahead -try 'em fer breakfast
'er - ah - Y'all


F William Broome 2008

Never tried them being a "far" Northener but I certainly do love cream of wheat so I'd sure give them a go.

Love your poem...but have to say I agree with Karla! Have tried them up north AND down south...not my cup of tea...lol. I guess it's an acquired taste.

To me, grits is naaaasty - nothing improves the taste - sorry! Now your POEM about grits is clever. Still can't convince me to eat 'em, though - LOL Well done -
