Rocket Egg Fury : A Menu Poem

Guest of Honor: Charles Bernstein 

Welcome to the very first installment of the Thanksgiving Menu Poem. This is a concept poem structured around the thanksgiving meal I would cook for everyone I could invite to honor a great poet. This year, the guest of honor is Charles Bernstein.

I am a trained chef and I have the ability to prepare this meal and if you come over with a few dollars, I’ll prepare this for you 🙂 Be sure to come back next year!

Love, Geoffrey
