Lonely Meatballs

Apparently, I inspired Dr. Thursday the other day with a comment about making supper. See what you make of this poem.

"Lonely Meatballs"
For Nancy, based on her idea.

Time to make dinner
kids get your crayons and toys and your books out of here
(I need a beer)
Look in the pantry
Thank God they had pasta and sauce and the jello on sale
Thank God for Ale!

All the lonely meatballs...
My cooking has begun
All the lonely meatballs,
I'll have to taste just one.

Out in the kitchen
stirring the sauce in the pot on the stove in the heat
"When do we eat?"
Wash your hands NOW, kids,
Water is boiling, hey kids get out forks, cups and mats
And pasta vats!

All the lonely meatballs...
I buy 'em by the ton
All the lonely meatballs,
I'll have to taste just one.

Look at it cooking,
Taste to be sure that the garlic Oh no I have added too much
Look in the hutch
Add some more sauce - fixed.
Now for the meatballs I baked and I froze: In the pot!
Stir until hot...

All the lonely meatballs...
(A salad would be fun)
All the lonely meatballs,
I'll have to taste just one.

Chop up some lettuce,
They say that using a knife in that way is a crime
I got no time.
Oil 'n' Balsamic
(Spendthrift and miser) a pinch of the salt and mix well
(Shake it like h*ll!)

All the lonely meatballs...
Lord how the time doth run!
All the lonely meatballs,
I'll have to taste just one.

Yeah, there's some cheese left.
Find some wine, darling, then get me the grater out please?
(Rhymes about cheese!)
Yes, it's al dente,
Sit yourselves down kids, and darling will you take your place?
Now we'll say grace...

All the lonely meatballs...
Thank you God for each one
All the lonely meatballs,
Our dinner has begun.
