My son joined the US Navy <br />Because of the sausage and gravy. <br />In the Army it's called SOS <br />It made my waistline wavy. <br /> <br />I like corn bread with butter and honey. <br />To make it you really need some money. <br />I don't have any so I eat rye bread. <br />With milk and sugar it keeps me fed. <br /> <br />I'm a bird dog from the Florida sticks. <br />In super markets I find hens and chicks. <br />I stand and point till the basket comes. <br />But I get strange looks from everyone. <br /> <br />The money is short so I gather stones, <br />And lizard eggs right outside my home. <br />One of the eggs had a rattlesnake, <br />But it tasted good in my stone soup bake. <br /> <br />Sausage and biscuits are a treasured dream. <br />I'd rejoin the Army but I'm way too mean. <br />I put raisins in milk toast and close my eyes. <br />Holding my nose for a sausage gravy surprise. <br /> <br />Whether Army or Navy <br />I just want to say, <br />Sausage Gravy or SOS <br />Are great either way.<br /><br />Robert Edgar Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sausage-and-gravy/
