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
