A Disgraceful Place for a Pineapple
For the "Food I Hate" Prompt (instigated by Paul Stewart and Donna Renee)
O pineapple,
You take me to tropical isles,
with juicy breezes
and pokey palm tops.
I delight to find you
As a tart surprise in fruit salad
As a perky palate cleanser
Or sweetly ringing an upside-down cake.
O, pineapple, the places you'll go!
Just heed this point, you pointy fruit ...
STAY OFF MY PIZZA!

Dead and Wearing Green
She was wearing that green dress when I first saw her, five years ago to the day. Flowing meadow fabric draped over long legs, thick auburn hair flowing down her back. That smile. Of course, she is still beautiful now. But now she is no longer alive.

this one’s for all the pineapple haters out there
I tend to disagree. Whlie not the best thing ever, still, pineapple pizzas are nice 'tropical' pizza species. My relatively new discovery was pizza with french fries on top. How do you feel about this burst of gastronomic creativity?😅
Wonderful and hilarious. Have to disagree with this take though. Bring on the pineapple. 🤣
YES! Pam and I always have to order separate pizzas because she asks for hers to be defiled!
Haha!! I love this and agree 🤣🤣. Can I add a link to this in the pillar post? ☺️
Lol it should be forbidden to put pineapples on pizza.
I'll take yours. Just slide it over onto mine. For me, pineapple gave pizza new birth.
LOL, I thought this was going to have a different "gotcha" at the end, but no, it came down to pizza! Damn pineapple on pizza. Though I will say, a Hawaiian pizza, with ham and pineapple and a spicy note can be good, it just has to have a white sauce. (Please don't bite my head off.) 🫣💖
Terrible discovery I made recently: Pineapple pizza was first made in...CANADA! A million apologies...and a lot of thanks for this poem!
Totally agree!!! Pineapple and pizza should never share the same space!!! Love it!!!♥️♥️💕
😂 I 💯 percent agree! Pineapple has no reason being anywhere near tomato sauce and cheese. Good one, Sonia!
