Soul Food

I helped my Nana fix greens and cornbread,
we sat down at the table to be fed.
The corn on the cob, boils in the pot,
we have ribs, baked beans, and pork chops.

I cut up the potatoes with a paring knife,
Nana joked and said, "For a man,I would make a great wife."
We eat black-eyed peas and red beans and rice,
I am treated to sweet potato pie if I am nice.



We eat baked chicken but I love it fried the best,
The adults drink soda, I spill juice on my vest.
the meat in our greens is called, fatback,
that's what I am eating now as we play Blackjack.

My familys favorite dish is chitterlings,
We're eating them as we listen to the Temptations sing.
At breakfast we eat eggs and bacon at the table,
the milk is poured by our Aunt Mable.



We eat okra, macaroni and cheese,
I ask, "Will you pass the homemade ice cream please."



Dedicated to all the Nanas,Grammies and Big Mamas of the world!
Rest in Peace, Nana Pouncy!
To be absent from the body is to be with the Lord!

For an online friend/potential SG who loves fresh Tims!

Timberland Boots
2 people in a relationship should be like a pair of Timberland Boots
Unbreakable like a tough piece of leather
Well sewn together
Able to withstand any type of weather
You cant have one without the other
And besides that, they look good
Theyve been thru a lot


But they last


Always side by side
Taking long or short strides
No matter the color, no matter the size
They compliment one another just right
And when it seems like a long hike
Or a strenuous mountain to climb
The deepness of your soles will never tear


Dependable
Reliable


A trademark of durability
Even when you feel like things are coming apart
They can be tied up tight
Leaving footprints in the snow
U can look back and see how far theyve come


And anybody else who wants a timberland boots relationship
Should follow right in those footsteps
