  • tinned cheese and macaroni
    turns me inside out.
    even recalling it now,
    I want to throw up.

    the heavy smell hit me first.
    it crept through the room.
    rank! stank like old, stale vomit.
    lingered just the same.

    then there was the look of it!
    fattened, dead maggots
    slopped in pale yellow liquid
    that moved really slow.

    the sight of it oozing made
    my skin crawl. still does.
    piping hot on a blue plate
    on a monday night.

    my mum and sister would eat
    on the move and joke;
    "you don't know what you're missing."
    I would walk away.

    they would laugh and scoff it up
    with cold buttered toast.
    making slurp sounds as they chewed.
    God, they were weirdos...

The more I read this poem, the more I want to pop down ASDA and buy a tin of macaroni. Guess that makes me one of the weirdoes...

Weirdo?

Naaaaah...

I'm the weirdo. That's according to my sister earlier today when she reached for yoghurt in the supermarket and I nearly fainted. Can't stand it either...

No, it's baked beans with brown sauce and celery with pickled onions for me :P ...

  • All macaroni
    should be taken out
    and shot.
    Or at least stretched
    into spaghetti.

    How dare it exist!
    Oozing around in a sickly,
    yellow gloop,
    passed off
    as cheese to the masses.

    It's an outrage.
    If there was a politician
    I believed in. I would write to them,
    asking that they got it banned.
    Disgusting stuff!
