Poem 18 in the ProCrasstheNation Poemvember Poetry Project is about one of my favorite things: sandwiches. Thank you to Jennifer S. for helping me to gush about something I hold dear.
Mangia!

“Sandwiches”
I love me a hearty sammich.
Some bread and lots of meat.
Condiment selections,
and extra, extra cheese.
A hero, spuckie, grinder,
hoagie, flatbread treat.
A sub for my friend, Sharon.
Wraps, tortas, paninis.
When concerning yourself with matters,
of the culinary.
You could do a lot worse,
than grabbing a gyro with tzatziki.
A pita full of hummus,
a steakbomb with the grease.
A poor boy dripping sauce,
all over your knees.
Here’s a little secret:
Last call, at Mike’s Roast Beef.
Order a super with sauce,
on an onion roll, with cheese.
If going to Christy’s,
and you can avoid Sal’s lazy eye.
A ham and cheese with picks and ungs,
will keep you satisfied.
Papa Gino’s Chicken Pahm.
Collier’s Boloney.
Ground Round’s Reuben cut in half.
A Jenny’s meatball dream.
You can keep your five-star restaurant,
I’ll take the corner deli.
An overstuffed sando,
is what makes a happy belly.
