“The Midnight Snack”

The Midnight Snack

Adapted from the poem

“This Is Just To Say”

by William Carlos Williams

I have consumed

The last tamale

That was in the steamy

Hot Pot

And which you

Were certainly

Keeping for a

Midnight snack

Forgive me for it was

Exquisite

So tangy and spicy

And so warm
