Linda’s prompt for #Socs is Ham! To join in or read some
fantastic responses click ๐here๐
I once laughed til I cried
over a song about ‘spam’.
Was surprised when given a book
Called ‘Green eggs and ham’.
I was thrilled when cooked
Chips, beans and ham,
for the first time,
by a visiting man. *wink wink*.
You never know what form
memories will take,
or how we inadvertently
nudge them awake.
A smell of lavender
Reminds me of Gran,
reading the rhymes… you guessed it
From green eggs and ham.
The taste of pig does it for me
It rumbles my stomach
until i fill it with tea….
Anyone for a sandwich?
A whimsical ditty … My husband listened (as they do) and said “You do know you’re weird… dont you”?
Comments welcomed and responded to promptly.

Every time I see a picture of a can of SPAM, I think of the movie 50 First Dates with Drew Barrymore where Nick the Hukilau cafรฉ chef prepared all the meals with SPAM. Your verse, like the movie, bring a chuckle and a smile.

I had a book of Spam recipes. Tried most of them too, and always keep a tin in the cupboard for emergencies.

I understand as it’s not everyone’s ideal standby. However, we haven’t had it for a while as it’s not exactly on the SW free or speed food list!

I think that is what Spam does to you Ellen, though weird is better than odd I always think…
