What do you get when you cross one very creative writer and her love of bacon?  You get this!

Ode to Bacon (And How I Love Thee)

Ode to bacon and how I love thee,

For without you and your salty goodness,

Your meaty charms,

I’d be quite hungry.

Oh bacon,

how wonderful you make the world.

You’re the one food that improves everything it touches,

Other than cheese or peanut butter of course.

Just one slice of you,

Or maybe two or three,

And a mediocre sandwich becomes divine,

A dull salad turns tasty.

And luckily for me,

Bacon can be eaten anytime of day,

In anyway, with any dish,

It’s a versatile crunchy meat,

A delicious treat.

I was almost brought to tears…truer words have never been written.

The author? A wondrous young lady by the name of Miranda Koerner (aka the Blond Duck).
