An Ode to Pizza

a poem by Dylan Otto Krider for the Colorado Daily

 

 Whose curds of milk, whose crusts of bread

Make students flock, their hearts a twitter?

When boyfriends left, and roomies failed

T'was only you who delivered.

 

Blest! You I unconcern'dly find

All hours, days and nights other stores slept away

My health of body and peace of mind

But a phone call, night or day.

 

When I'm empty, who fills me?

Who nourishes me when I am weak?

Who gets me through the late night hours

When I need to study, or can't sleep?

 

In winter you warm me, fresh from the hearth

In summer, you cool me, wrapped in foil, straight from the fridge.

 

How many accounts have you balanced?

How many club meetings did you feed?

How many depend on you, tasty pizza

To get them through the college years?

Yet when I need you, you're always there

Just for me.
