Sure, we'll have that, too ....not!


We perused the menu, reading down through the 14 choices of grilling meats
And settled on three, bypassing the opportunity for grilling pig womb, or tracheal rings,
And passing on the delicacy of rumen (look it up) or large intestine.
Flashbacks to childhood of staring down a cows tongue, taste buds included (!)
On our dinner table, the stern look of my father demanding that we place tongue
Against tongue, served cold, yet more daunting.
Sure, we'll have that, too, has its limits at fish eyes and pigs feet,
While heartily applauding the Japanese!
