The Menu for Today.

 The menu for today: Green Onions dipped in Mayonnaise,Swamp Water and Filberts lightly toasted.I am sorry to say Dear that we are all out of  Tator Tot casserole, I was not in the mood to dine upon it and probably never will again.I know it was the special of the House but never again will it be so.
 Shall we brew our Swamp Water before we dine? Fill our cups with something Orange,a bit of  Red Punch and something with Fizz to make it just right? There, there it is that divine memory filled Swampy Color,refreshing as we wash down our Green Onions dipped in Mayonnaise. Onions freshly pulled from the garden are always the best. Warmed from the Earth and cooled by the just from the fridge Mayo.
  Are there no Filberts? Let us go for a drive in your Big Truck, across the Fields of Golden Fall turning down the road lined with the Filbert Orchards. Stopping to search like the Squirrels for our sought treasure,filling pockets with our horde. Now let us return to Home and the warm stove to toast our little nuts in a pan black with age and time.
  Age and Time what do you know, here I am  looking back upon those two. Wondering , Wishing ,Wanting and Remembering. Most likely you would reply to that with "Well...I dunno about that." in your soft spoken way. I dunno about about that either and that is why today I invited you to dine with me upon a memory of Green Onions dipped in Mayonnaise, Swamp Water and Filberts.A meal suited to a Farmer and a Child.
