I Found The Gods And Heaven

By Malcholm Dark

as the tears flowed from my eyes, I fell to my knees in praise...

All hand made
Marinara sauce
Over flat pasta
Layer after luscious layer
Sweet Italian sausage
Ricotta cheese
Seven glorious layers
Topped with fresh mozzarella.

And I knew, at the very moment it came from the oven
Hallelujah! Only Hallelujah.

And I knew, when I put that first bite in my mouth
Surely this had been prepared by the gods.

And I knew, when I was scarfing down half a pan
Surely this must be pure heaven I am in.

And I knew, even though I pretended not to
Surely this lasagna wasn't meant for dinner.

But it was and I caught holy hell for it
And hard as I tried, I could only say this,
"It was the lasagna's fault, he started it."

And when all was said and done
My belly mounded skyward
Ready to burst like Mt. St. Helens...

.
Like Garfield the cat
I had found the gods and heaven.

    So I guess it's the Flying Lasagna Monster now? Haha, I love lasagna and all, but I can't I'll fall down to my knees in praise of it, in public anyway. Another day brightener, and perhaps a catalyst to a new religious movement lol. Write on. Scholar
