My Sandwich by Carl D’Agostino

For morrow’s lunch, made an elegant
Dagwood Bumstead sandwich last night.
I wouldn’t trade it for an empress’s
full length sable.

Now I’m here at work this morning
only to find:
I left the gal dern thing
on the blasted kitchen table.

I am quite a sandwich fan, so that would be quite terrible. Now I want a sandwich, but all I have is bread and mayo. That would make a bad sandwich.

  I am such a mayo person just mayo sandwich wouldn’t be bad. Mayo on french fries too with pinch black pepper.

That’s one photogenic homemade sandwich if I’ve ever seen one. 🙂

Fortunately, I’m sure the Miami climate won’t wreak havoc with your sandwich and it’ll be just as fresh and tasty when you arrive home as it would have been at lunchtime! Am I right or am I right?

  Sometimes the heat sours the mayonnaise and the lunch meat gets a little slimmy too. Peanut butter/jelly is most immune to temp. Can heat up a can of soup in the sun and fry and egg on the hood off your car or steaming asphalt surface.But from now to April climate delightful. June-Sept worse than Bataan Death March.

  That type of coincidence has happened several times with bloggers I follow and who follow me. Strange.

Not to fear that you left it. You can get another at Publix tomorrow morning.
Gotta get there early to get a good parking space and the hot fresh bread to stick in the freezer.

    I make pizza for a living – I will make you the best – no leftover junk.
    
    Do you have a favorite or should I just do what my regulars like and make what I think suits you best?

    1. spinach and feta. 2. mushroom and black olive. 3. yellow squash and zucchini and sliced tomato. 4. Salmon(lox) and cream cheese. Never pepperoni – I had one triple by-pass – never again. The stuff’s a killer.

  Do they laugh when you bring your lunch? If you eat out or take delivery for lunch you don’t get a Baby Ruth candy bar.

  You’re right. Actually I did give that a fleeting thought when I composed the post. Seems like our stuff is relevant to only a specific age group – Gray Panthers. Oh, well. I still LIKE IKE.
