ode to stretchy pants

Though I realize this detracts from my whole “this is a legitimate Master's degree from an accredited university!” argument, here is my first attempt at a gastro-limerick. We had ten minutes to write some sort of poem in our first writing class - can you guess at what time I wrote this? (That’s right, just after a giant potluck lunch.)

Compliments! elastic waistband

I revel in feasts long and grand

Though filled with regret

Of course you can bet

I still wear you – tight jeans be damned!
