Lamentations: Poke sallet blues

Mention of poke brings on cravings in Up North for Kentucky which brought-on collard greens at the Kroger's came calm down.
Poke Sallet

Consarn it, anyways. Why did you have to go and mention fresh poke? That flung a powerful craving upon me for a big bait of water creeseys, but such things are unheard of here north of the Green River.



I'll just have to hightail it over to Kroger's and fetch home a mess of brought-on collard greens.

Thank goodness I have vinegar and bacon drippings to season 'em up right, and enough yellow meal to make a pone of real cornbread.

If only I had some sassafras root to make a gallon or two of spring tonic, I'd be set!
