I will take a pizza.
Just cheese please.
Maybe pepperoni.
No, pepperoni.
I get heartburn.
Bacon. Bacon and Pineapple.
NO mushrooms. I hate mushrooms.
Just Bacon and Pineapple and cheese please.
I know it isn’t a real Hawaiian pizza.
But technically Hawaiian Pizza isn’t Hawaiian.
I love cheese pizza though. Maybe half and half
Half cheese, half bacon and pineapple.
No extra cheese.
Extra cheese gets weird.
It throws the sauce, crust, cheese, topping ratio off.
I know what I am talking about.
I do. I have made hundreds of thousands of pizzas.
No that isn’t hyperbole.
I worked in pizza places most of my adult life.
You know what, never mind.
Just make me a cheese pizza.
With extra sauce. but not too much.
Light extra sauce.
Yes that’s a thing.
I don’t want my cheese to swim off the pizza.
It’s simple really.
If you want, I can make it myself.
I know I don’t work here, yet.
Then make me a cheese pizza.
A little extra sauce.
Cook it just a bit longer.
No, not well done.
Just cooked a bit longer.
If you can’t do it, find me someone who can.
It’s Pizza. Very easy to make.
I have made hundreds of thousands of them.
No, it isn’t hyperbole.
How many have you made?
Nice, sounds yummy!!
We as a people can be very hard to please xx
This was a fun read
Was this one as fun to write as it was to read?
Especially fond of the repeated phrases and heir variations. Also enjoyed the conversational tone. Great poetic cadence. Sounds like real speech.
“heir variations” is a typo (missing the “t”) but it’s inspiring a new poem I plan to write after I finish my marathon recovery.
“Light extra sauce” I love it! What a fun poem!
