This is my submission for the 'Writing Contest: Mystery Food May 2019' hosted by FoodKart where we had to either write a story between 200 to 300 words or a poem of maximum 100 words, featuring the mystery food: tacos.
______________________________
Hard or soft tortillas filled to the brim,
With ground beef or roast pork;
Have it as a meal, or on a whim,
Eating it without a spoon or fork.
Shrimp or fish, make great fillings too,
Accompanied by lettuce and cream;
Roll with chicken, fry to golden hue,
Spicy hot, it's a foodie's dream.
Stuffing of cheese and vegetables,
Served with guacamole and avocado;
Vegan twist, with fruits soft and sweet,
And a dash of lemon, honey and cilantro.
A simple dish, yet a versatile food,
There is a taco for every mood.
