I Make a Mean Mug of Meatballs!

~ ~ ~

By Rowan Finley Published 3 months ago Updated 3 months ago 1 min read

I can make a mean mug of meatballs.

Don’t be confused, the mug isn’t mean,

although the pattern is mesmerizing, so it would seem.

The meatballs aren’t too mean either,

unless, of course, they hit your stomach the wrong way...

The meatballs are not rubbery,

they're actually something you can eat.

Take a seat and grab a gleaming fork.

Rest assured, these meatballs aren’t even made of pork.

They are kosher and pretty precocious!

Yes, auspicious, propitious, and delicious!

Step right up for your mean mug of meatballs!

    Okay THIS was adorable 😆 If you ever actually serve these, please warn people ahead of time—because no one’s emotionally prepared for meatballs that are auspicious and propitious.

    That's called thinking outside the plate lolol. Mugs can be used for many diverse purposes. Some even smile 😁
