What's Cooking
by Sam Chen
An Israeli art dealer awoke
And dined while his wife
told a joke.
He inhaled what he ate,
And she found out too
late
She'd made her Jerus'lem
Arty-choke.
One interesting thing seems
quite clear:
The number of cookbooks
appear-
Ing for people to buy
Is equaled by di-
Eting books, year after
year.
In deserts like the Sahara,
The times people starve
is quite rara.
One reason, I've heard
(Though it may seem absurd)
Is because of the sandwiches
thera.
Some cannibals thought
it quite queer
That a verse-spouting
judge showed no fear.
When ready to dine,
They hung up a sign:
"Poetic justice served
here."
