Poem for her 495

Dear Readers,


Pickles and chicken and crackers


Those flavors not easy to explain
But you know the style and the taste
As you tell me the smile on your face
Says that we will have to see if this
Is the recipe that can be repeated
But if not then we will get the camera
Out and take that picture of you
Oh wait, let us take your picture anyway
Let us not need a special occasion
Just any day you are near the camera lens
And me here with a fast click of shutter
The recipes that happen are there
The face that tastes them yours
The pictures in the scrap book full
Of recipes tried and prepared
The ones with ear marks oft repeated
They fill the air with soft kisses too


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.
