It’s just bread
And cheese.
But the bread
Came out of my oven.
And the smooth
Soft texture
And subtle flavor
Give away
The potato
That was mashed
To go in it.
And the cheese,
Tartly crumbly.
Good, aged
Sharp cheddar
With a bite.
It’s not the showy
Hot and bubbly
Cheese and potato
Of potatoes
Au gratin.
It’s just lunch.
Let’s get that book written!
Love,
Artie
