The Jerk
Hang me in the basement
Hang me out to dry
My meat is flavorful and chewy.
Hang me when it's cold outside
String me from the rafters
A carrion delight.
Salt me
Till I'm so dry my flesh cracks
Break easily in your teeth.
Chew the fat then spit it out
Too much gristle
Isn't good for you.
In the end just a bowl full of meat to enjoy.
In the end just an empty bowl and some gristle for the dog.
I was thinking of dehydrating some meat this weekend, I don’t think I’ll be writing a poem for it though. Lol hugs friend! Looks yummy!
Delicious and the reason I'll have cardiac arrest at 50😁
I've been perfecting my jerky craft for years. I tried to make fish jerky one time. The only one who ate it was the dog.
Never tried fish jerky, it's laborious with a long smoke process. This shit is easy, my sisters a beef farmer and we get our roasts cut into "stir fry" pieces. Just marinate and hang on the line. I made mine Tex mex using taco spice, my wife does a yellow chilli flake and her parents opt for plain.
we really need to hang out.
I am writing this with pen, while cooking roasted hen,
spices and veggies stuffed up in its belly,
mild heat melting its fat and looking like jelly,
the aroma is everywhere, neighbor showed from no where
we crack opened beers, while reading your poems.
chicken, friends, poets like you and beer always make me up cheers :)
Nice poem, Mr. poet enjoy your meat :D
Thanks. Nice little poem. Reminds me bbq season is only 4 months away.
(I've almost eaten through my personal jerky share😢)
@bleedpoet, you are such a nice person, you never forget to like and comments on your fans comments :) that's what set you apart from other persons (the trait of successful person), huge success is on your way :) Keep up the good work, I really like reading and commenting on your posts rather than writing blog.
I enjoy the care you put into your comments. I'm a real person, and nothing saddens me more then when people come and see what I've made and leave a copy pasted comment. I'd take great comments like these over a few steem any day.
@bleedpoet have many talent as a big writer his poet alwas well and that poetry made this pos amazing. i am a fan of @bleedpoet
Always aim to please, thank you for your kind endorsement.
I do not know what your food is, but poetry is a legend.
Beef, with a few spices. Simple and delicious.
Bon Appetit
no body writes for me a poem up to now. I am very sad seeing this:)
I am so confused you are sad and happy seeing this🤔
I was only jokking..I am happy for sharing..thanks again..
Yum. Homemade jerky is the best. Great poem too! Enjoy!
It's our second year making it, and it is hardly enjoyed, more so devoured, quite addictive. Thanks
A poem about beef jerky?! YES!!! Where has this been all my life!?
It began when a mommy cow got rode by a bull... A life was lived, then lost, the remains butchered, packaged, frozen, defrosted and hung... How old are you? This might head up a cow family tree😄
I am loving the "Meat Poetry"! Keep em coming!
I figured it a interesting juxtaposition to the veganism that is rampant here. Thus the title.
I am veggie, but I will cook your steak. There is room for us all! :)
