Ire and Rice

Posted at PFFA.

Ire and Rice

Most times my woman's meals are dire,
Too few they're nice.
From what I've tasted of her cooking
In recent days, I favor booking
A table in some paradise --
No, I don't want the special plate.
I say that for my dinner rice
Would compensate
At cheaper price.

(with apologies to Robert Frost)

A Frost parody, and a largely unsuccessful one. The joke isn't really funny or well-thought-out. I'll probably try a completely different approach -- meaning, a parody with a funnier punch. (I still like this version, though. Frost's original is one of my all-time favorite poems.)
