On the groaning agrestic table
Gastronomic goodness abounded
Gracefully arrayed.
Greengrocer’s plants galore,
All gloriously arranged beginning with
Giant grapes and plump gooseberries
Grapefruits, guavas and galia melons glistening.
Granulated sugar
Blended with eggs, milk and
Fresh ground grain flour
Were agreeably transformed into
Griddlecakes!
(Graced with golden syrup
And fresh ground ginger root)
Guiltily in their gluttony
Gourmets tipple with grappa and dry gin
Whilst gusseted gypsy queens
Girlishly gobble green tea gelato!
Glorious yes quite glorious
Was the cold gazpacho
It temped both great and small!
And the vision grew with more marvels still …
Until in the grey morning was heard:
“Great gads!”
(It was Gregory who groaned grievously
As he glanced upon all the goodness.)
“Give me the gift of a gourmand’s gut
So that I might taste it all.”

wow you certainly did tackle this with gusto! It was a mucho gusto to read 😉 (I don’s speak Spanish but Google assures me that much gusto means pleasure. Google is never wrong, right?)

Great G comment my dear Grandma! Going gaga myself with these alliteration poems .. especially as I had a full day outside of the house and had to write it late (It’s 11:30 – so I’ll say my good night to you!).

I know, I love these poems! I was going to do a piece on Goats…but ran out of time. The G-word did take awhile, though.
