Any Way You Slice It

/ Karina Pinella / 7 Comments

Slice it,
Dice it,
Divide it,
Just give me a piece

Dice you,
Divide you
In more than one piece,
Figuratively.

pizza lover
You take-a piz-za my heart,
You fill me like no other.
Get thee to my plate;
Your aroma makes me swoon!

I am ready to cut you apart;
I cannot share you with another
Even if I inflate
As big as a hot air balloon!

What makes you so hot?
Sweet onions galore,
Dough kneaded just right,
Sausage and three kinds of cheeses!
