Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 My Favorite Meal

Fried chicken, corn flake battered style,

Mashed potatoes with gravy thick.

Favorite meal not had a while.

Steamed buttered peas, green veggie pick,

Wheat bread fresh from the oven baked,

Sweet iced tea with a lemon slice.

For such a meal, for long I ached.

And now served to me, oh so nice.

Then for dessert, fresh apple pie,

Atop with vanilla ice cream.

So filled with gratitude am I,

Enjoying now what was a dream.

Home from the war in Vietnam,

My favorite meal is cooked by Mom.
