Rare is the word <br />That is used to describe <br />'Half-cooked' <br />But you decide <br />What's on your plate. <br />Is it ready for the palate <br />Or needs another round <br />In life's baptismal fire. <br /> <br />Rare retains the flavor <br />The succulence and the texture <br />While overdone is, well, overdone. <br /> <br />s<br /><br />Sidi J.
