Re-Cook (11/30)

The prompt for day eleven over at NaPoWriMo was to write a tanka, which is a poem based on the syllable pattern 5-7-5-7-7. It seems to work best when the final two 7 syllable lines contain a sort of turn or surprise that the first three lines might not wholly anticipate; this is what I came up with...





A steak was not done

to the customer's liking

so he sent it back;

the floor, saliva and sweat

made a splendid seasoning.
