Something Wry For National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day (January 14)
Thanks to my friend Fred Bortz, who bugged inspired me to write a limerick celebrating National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day:
Something Wry For Pastrami Day
By Madeleine Begun Kane
It’s Pastrami Day, so I’ve been told.
Hot on rye, spread with mustard it’s sold.
Though it’s seasoned and smoked,
I simply ain’t toked
By its flavor. It just leaves me cold.

Ha,,, not everyone can love pastrami…
its funny….i did not know that, but guess what i had for lunch….hmmm….
I enjoy hot Pastrami on rye
Much more than a non-Jewish guy.
And my taste buds to tickle,
I add a dill pickle
And some Dr. Brown’s Cream, halevai.
Halevai
From a simple eater, I concur.
SO relieved to see simple verse in rhyme. Sometimes I feel like I’m alone in my adherence to classic structure & form. I love the irreverence in this… And how the everyday ordinary becomes fodder for the pen… A perfect subject for the tripping pace of a Limerick, in my opinion.
so now I’m hungry
sliced thin, piled high!
I do love some rye and pastrami
Much more than a scythe loves a commie
And with it for cheer
A pitcher of beer
Or more, if I’m out and it’s balmy
Never had it. Doesn’t sound great, I’ll give it a miss.
Ciao
