Fall brings out the hankering
For something warm to eat
Soups and stews are perfect when
The weather’s lacking heat
My favourite is a red-wine stew
That’s filled with veg and beef
Cooked for hours, all day long
It tastes beyond belief
Thick and rich, slow simmering
The smell intoxicates
With fresh-baked bread served on the side
Deliciousness awaits
Pepper hot or sweetly spiced
With bay or cinnamon
Cumin, chile, nutmeg, clove
Adds much when added in
I recommend you eat the food
That keeps you satisfied
This season’s best with seasoning
That keeps us warm inside!
