The cruciferous prophet sticks in my teeth- <br />I think I'd rather have a tidbit, of thief; <br />All covered, of course, in a vinegar sauce <br />With just a light dusting, of the true cross. <br /> <br />Some rarefied spleen, set sideboard, <br />With red vintage wine; A.D. thirty-four <br />Frankincense and Myrrh, baked in aspic; <br />And saved for last, Shroud Flambe: digestif.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hannibal-lectors-favorite-meal/
