July 12, 2023:
1 Box Rigatoni - dry and brittle,
In need of a little -
Moisture
1 lb ground beef - pink and lean,
Delicious protein -
Savory
2 Tomatoes - red and round,
Fresh picked, firm all around -
Plump
1 Red onion - purple and spicy,
Fresh or diced precisely -
Tearful
3 Garlic cloves - wrapped in white,
An aromatic delight -
Perfume
1 Jar spaghetti sauce - blended and sweet,
With herbs and spices, a treat -
Delicious
4 cups cheddar cheese - finely shredded,
Melted gold, flavor embedded -
Gooey
1 Bottle red wine - full bodied taste,
Aged 10 years, for red faced-
Pleasure
1 Small honey jar - nature’s syrup,
Mixed in for tiny chirrups -
Sticky
