the spiral ham

the wonder
of the spiral ham,
precut and cooked,
a modern
miracle, no less important
than say
the discovery
of insulin
or penicillin, the building
of the great wall
in china
or the taj mahal.
they have nothing on this ham
that someone stood in
line for three hours to buy,
not me.
but yes, let's bow
and give praise
to the honey baked spiral
ham,
sweetly glazed, oh my,
are those pineapple rings?
a moment of silence
and appreciation
please, before the first
bite.
