Prepare it any way you please –
grill, bake, or fry. Top it with cheese,
sautéed bell peppers, onions, sauce,
steamed veggies. Still, I’ll surely toss
it to the dog, for I loathe liver.
I’d sooner chow down on a sliver
of cardboard or a strap of leather,
a tree root or a branch of heather.
If ever you’re my enemy,
force-feed me liver and you’ll be
quite satisfied, for I’ll be sick
and begging, “Alka-Seltzer – QUICK!”
