Ode to Pizza Friday – Feb. 12, 2008 by Dawn Melanie
It was hot,
It was fresh,
Sometimes it burned my tongue,
But always, Comforting,
Pizza Friday
Cheese,
Pepperoni,
“The Works”,
Toppings did not matter,
Pizza Friday
Rootbeer,
Iced and Cold,
Garlic Sauce,
Jalopeno Peppers,
Pizza Friday
My diet will change,
Melancholy I’ll be,
Memories eternal,
12 weeks - no more,
Pizza Friday

NO MORE PIZZA FRIDAY?!?!?! But I enjoyed my melted mozzarella/pepperoni through you!!! What’s a gurl to do??? (smile) I wish I could flip the script and start my own pizza Friday, but gurl, you’d have to roll me into the gym!
All kidding aside, I liken the ending of your Pizza Friday to a space launch at Cape Canaveral…"T minus 10 and counting…."
Its on and crackin’ now….. You are, and will be, fabulous!!!

Is there really a better cheat food out there than PIZZA, with garlic and jalapeno’s?…………….I didn’t think so. C’mon Saturday, get here….
February 14, 2008 at 6:49 am
Did someone say GARLIC AND JALEPENOS? Ok…I’m in!
Dawn Melanie…when are we gonna party pizza style?
February 14, 2008 at 9:45 am
It will be a while until I have pizza agian, Superbowl weekend was when I said hello and goodbye the the beloved food. At least on Saturday I welcomed to the door of my being, 3 medium pizzas, but after Sunday, the door for pizza will be closed for a long time.
I hope you are doing well

Yes Ode to Pizza;
You tasted so good from the first day my lips met you.
From that day forward I was addicted to you.
I prefer you the opposite temperature as I like my women. You must be cold.
Your roots were born in NY.
Iv’e tried many of your cousins in other parts of the world but only you my NY friend satisfies my desire.
Lastly, you suck because you’ve stuck around my waistline to long.
