Okay so my last couple of poems bombed and most of the comments focused on the thought that the poem was not much fun and so in furtherance of my shallow attempts at attention whoreing, i have dropped my nice old lady facade and any futile attempts to actually write poetry.
Enjoy!

Insert suggestive title here.

I went to pub last night,
the local faggots looked good.
Given the size of them,
I thought,
Two would suffice,
four would just over-face me.

The nice barmaid,
the one with all her own teeth,
noted my decision and
brought them over
and then explained
where the meat was sourced.

Initially I was concerned
that there was too much sauce,
it was slick and thick.
It put me off.
One taste of those meaty balls
was all it took.   I’m hooked.

I recommend the local faggots.
They are served all year round
at the Rose and Crown.

Note in the Uk a faggot is a traditional dish, very common in Devon pubs.   Balls of  pork meat & liver in a rich gravy served with marrow fat peas and mash - yum!

faggots means something entirely different here in the US. yet, in this context, they're the same. i'd recommend the local ones as well  Hysterical

Never underestimate the power of a well-rounded double entendre. Great humour is so very rare in poetry these days -- and this is great humour!
It could be worse

Thankyou to everyone who has stopped to read and comment.

This one comes from real life...our "local" pub gets quite a few tourists, we ourselves have taken Americans there. The reaction is always the same and they always have to try them (with a picture to take back home of course).
The humour might be great but sadly not great poetry, but in a nod to this grand idea, I've done a slight edit on line 5 St2 it was niggling me.

It's really funny! It's a double entendre, but all I can see is the thick juicy meat being inserted here and there, and the sauce, OH YES THE SAUCE.
Back!

Funny EW, In fact too funny, so funny I had to write a boring note about the history of the word "faggot", however I excised it.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?

The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.

glad I read the note at the end!

We have a similar local specialty in America: hamburgers.
