boiled potato and a can of sardines

boiled potato,
but it cooked too fast,
too hot,
too much: and it's
soft on the outside, chewy on the inside.

boiled potato,
skin slips outa my grasp,
soap in a tub,
dog in your arms.

can of sardines,
with tomato sauce.
didn't expect much;
I was not disappointed.

can of sardines,
but the pull-ring broke,
so I had to lift the cover
with the back of a fork.

boiled potato,
a can of sardines.
crunchy? who'da thought? yes, it's
bunches of crunchy chewy
potato,
mixed with simple sardines;

it's my meal, and I' got it,
and I'll chew it
till it's gone!
