Oh lasagna, you are such a delicious dish
Cheesy yet meaty, a meal on a plate
To change you I have but a single wish
When baking, must you always be late?!
Ricotta, mozzarella and a bit of parm
Tomatoes and basil with oregano
Meat or fresh veggies, just off the farm
And then comes the pasta that is oh so slow
Slow to grow tender and hot in the middle
Smelling so good as it takes its sweet time
When you just 'bout give up--put grilled cheese on the griddle
You give it one final test and oh how sublime!
The taste and aroma perfectly intermingle
Bring back memories of mama's Italian feasts
Such a perfect concoction causes taste buds to tingle
The beginning of many such dinners on Prospect Park east
