An event

​An event
 
If visiting Grandma Fannie
 
An event could be predicted
 
If one saw
an apple pie
 
fried chicken
 
biscuits
 
sweet tea
 
coffee
 
potatoes
 
            tomatoes, green beans,  okra or all three - canned or fresh
 
homemade pickles
 
It might be a funeral, a wedding, a birthday, visiting friends or relatives, or a graduation
 
All qualified as an event.
 
I am sure Covid—19 would have earned an event label.
 
I shall call it an event.
 
Apple pie is ready for the oven
 
Nearby the bread dough rises
 
With all due respect to those with an eating disorder, diabetes or a gluten intolerance
 
I call upon the spirit of all the Grandma Fannies
 
Come sit
 
Eat
 
Even if six feet apart
 
Coffee?
 
Sweet tea?
