Ode to the Perogy

Please, please, please do not be late,
Oh dear! I can not and will not wait.
And if you want, you can bring a date,
But she better not steal from my plate!

Filled to the brim with potato and cheese.
Once forged and boiled, they become a tease,
Then add butter, salt, pepper, and sour cream.
Now do you see why your tongue will dream?

I like to swallow them whole,
As if I was a polish troll.
I shall complete my goal,
Of eating every last pasta roll!

When do you think I will have too much?
Maybe when my belly and the table touch?
No, no, just place them in a bunch,
And I will have them for breakfast or lunch!
