An Ode to A Spinach Empanada

Oh, spinach empanada, a Catalan delight,

With a history abundant, your taste takes time for a flight.

From ancient lands to modern-day cuisine,

Your presence on our plates is truly serene.

Wrapped in a golden airy crust, perfectly baked,

You gift a symphony of flavors, each note with no mistake.

The freshness of spinach, so vibrant and green,

Adorned by the spices — an exciting scene.

With each precious bite — a road into savory bliss,

A medley of textures, a joyous abyss.

Your filling — so inviting — is a wholesome treat,

Fulfilling the body, with heart and soul complete.

For in your vibrant essence — a nourishing embrace,

And generations carry your many tastes with grace.

In every morsel — a warmth spreads within,

Reviving holy spirits, soothing the depths within.

Oh, spinach empanada, how we sing you glory-praise!

For the eternal joy you awaken in countless ways.

A delicious timeless existence you so finely embody,

Forever grateful for your presence we are, as eternity visits the body.
