Ode To Dollar Pizza

Ode to Dollar Pizza

By Spiral Breeze

Hot from the oven

You burn my mouth

Yet I am hungry after class.

So I persist.

Your crust is chewy,

Yet not too soft or hard.

Your sauce is good too.

I’m not one to complain.

It is your cheese I love.

Your ooey, gooey cheese.

Stringy and delicious.

With toppings on top.

But you only cost a dollar.

Yes, one hundred pennies.

No tax, which is nice.

One dollar, so good.

One dollar means no chicken,

Or olives or pepperoni.

But, dollar pizza,

You have flavor!

It gives me time to appreciate

Your crust, your sauce 

And your cheese.

And when I am feeling 

In the mood my Italian friend 

Made by Arabs,

I sprinkle pepperoncini 

On your cheese.

It has the most wonderful kick,

To your otherwise blandness.

Sometimes, I even go for Oregano

Rigani in Greek.

But you are not Greek,

You are Italian,

Made by Arabs.

So dollar pizza, 

Have fun digesting in my stomach.

Till we meet again,

Another fresh and cheap slice,

Straight from the oven.
