BONUS SONNET: In Which I Plan To Order Up A Pizza... For Science!

At Stirling University, was learned

A fact I've long suspected to be true.

That same stuff which so many mouths has burned

Is what makes pizza taste good in review!

The pizza sauce has fibers in it which

Prevents the crust from getting soggy, and

Keeps cheesy goodness in its place, all rich

And lovely on the top. That's why it's grand,

That pizza, cold, the morning after we've

Had it all hot and fresh, delivered or

Homemade in our own ovens. Always leave

Some for the next day. Research is a chore

But it's important that these great results

Are proved and proved again, by smart adults!

At Suppertime, I Muse On My Crock Pot

My parents are still here due to the snow

That's falling fatly on us in Cheyenne

And to my invitation to do so;

Round Two of hospitality's the plan.

It's cocktail hour as I start to wind up

The preparation of our fine repast:

A chicken dish with apples I've lined up

Since 'round the crack of noon. I cut up fast

An onion and some garlic cloves; I thawed

Some frozen chicken and some orange juice;

I mixed that juice with spices and, no fraud

Dumped all into a crock pot, turning loose

The slow heat on the food, right then, at noon.

Now to add in some apples; ready soon!
