My dinner plate/grandma's back yard


Simple greens
Verses frozen beans

Corn meal
Knee- d- ed into corn bread

Light Mango spread
On Banana bread


Eat your spinach like your mother said
And charge your chard

Paint the rainbow with your squash
And cry like the Nile with
Saboas


Lentil jump around in my
Arroz con pollo

Tauro, Tauro, Tauro
Ahora usteds....

Con Orchata

Simple greens
Verses frozen beans

The last of the mo-ji-cama'
Dance the rain dance in my tang

Pina y pina
The ripe co-co-nut on the floor of the cute little hut

Simple greens
Verses frozen beans
Don’t taste like the skillet of my grandma hands
In her southern ways
Too much pork fat in those days
Caused her to sing simple
Songs
'Bout simple green verses
Frozen beans

In California....
