Ode to Pizza

Oh beautiful, magnificent, tasty pizza, there are millions of reasons I love you, multiplying by the day. 

You are so versatile, and always seem to warm my stomach, making me feel good inside.

You melt to my tongue’s touch, filling my mouth with temporary warmness, letting me enjoy the taste for minutes on end, helping me stay positive, even if I went through a tough day.

You also let me choose your shape, depending on my feelings. 

Oh, perfect river of tomato sauce, your magical, soothing, sweet aroma of the ripe tomatoes wafting through the air, the minute I pull you out of the rectangular oven.

Your beautiful smells seem to wrap me into your arms, keeping me warm inside.

The more I think of you, the greater I want you.

You let me customize your toppings, adding whatever I want, letting me choose what I want, and when I want, making the possibilities infinite.

You can cheer anyone up, negating all negative thoughts.

Oh, marvelous mountain of endless taste and happiness, you somehow seem to help me with my despair and cheer me up when there seems to be nothing else to depend on.  

I just love it when my pizza is divided into 1/8ths and the angle at 45 degrees. 

You help me out when I’m hungry, and even help me bond with my family through meals.

Your cheese melts off your crust, making it impossible to pick it up back into the pizza crust without hearty laughter.

Oh, beautiful colorful meadow of creativity and possibility, you bring joy to my days.

Time seems to go by, minute by minute as I admire you from the windows of restaurants, my stomach growling from hunger, just like an over-excited dog.

You fill my life with jubilation, keeping me warm when things just aren’t playing out too great. 

No matter how often, and how much I eat you, my thankfulness towards you is never reduced.

Words cannot describe how thankful I am, towards you.
