Do you like Braunschweiger?

It's OK if you don't, I could live without it

Do you like knockwurst and sauerkraut?

It's OK if you don't, I could sneak it

Do you like peach pie?

Please God, let him like peach pie...

Any kind of pie, I would suffer to live without

But I could do it, I guess..

Do you like me? I hope you do,

I totally could not live without you

Loving braunschweiger as I do, this caught my eye, and I am so glad it did. What a great poetic statement to equate out-of-the-ordinary foods with affection.

Also, your poem "Within" had super imagery that struck me as all good poetry does with the thought "I wish I had written that!"

Hello MOFW,
I like you too.
This is about being with a man who doesn't like eggs or cheese, 2 of my favorite things. So I was thinking, since I would give up eggs and cheese to be with him, what else would I give up.

In a nut-case shell. :-)
