Please provide your address. Do you get many return customers or does that salmonella get them first time around. I must confess I loved your menu, in fact I'd like to make a reservation for my mother-in-law.
This was a very clever poem and a most deserving winner. Congratulations.

You are right. We were to make something humorous from something serious. Why did you put that in your author notes? Did someone give you a low rating or a butt chewing? You made it into the contest, so you must have been on the right track OR they wouldn't have put you in?
I'm giving it a 5 because a) it is a good poem b) freedom of speech, even if someone has an issue with it and c) because I am a 61 year old female who does what the hell she wants to do! :)
Good Job!
Wendy

    Thank you for the great review, Wendy. The author notes were added because some folks were voting in the booth when many of the entries weren't adhering to these rules. That's why they were added. I really appreciate the generous stars, W. I'm glad you liked the piece.

Bless his heart. I guess if you're homeless that anything could be on the menu. In this great country that we're in, their shouldn't be anyone homeless and hungry. Thanks for sharing this humorous, interesting, and well written work. Well done!

This is an ingenious contest entry. We need laughs, need to look at possibilities, need to learn how to survive with humor, and need not look down on survivors. Well done!

No need for confusion - your piece is great! Good rhythm, and (unlike most) VERY clever and subtle, rather than making the obvious cliche choices. Great work! :)S

Hello my friend

I like your poem about homeless cuisine. I can see how this qualifies for the contest. Homeless people have a hard time finding something to eat. Well done.

You did a good job, Mystery Author, with your contest poem. Yours is a serious topic expressed in a humorous way. However, the humor doesn't hide how many this applies too in a land of plenty. Your lines read well with great imagery. Your picture is a good pairing, too. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully, Jan

A very well-written poem about the under the bridge cafe that have to be very creative to put food on the table. From odds and ends and a few scraps, everyone's hungry enough to eat.
