Meatball Memories

Some really big meatballs.

In Pennsylvania once we ate
some meatballs that were great in size;
we had a large spaghetti plate
and it was meatball mass surprise.

I was so young yet I recall
the girth of meatball awed me so;
there came a taste upon the ball--
I think it was oregano.

The sauce signed in upon my lips
with savory tomato tang;
we met creation on our trip
as we were there for meatball bang.

  (Mount Union was the little place
  we stayed because the car broke down;
  with wafting Parmesan in space,
  and lots of ample ball around.)

O meatball, there in bread crumb growth,
so dominating on the dish;
can I ever consume you both,
extend my stomach on a wish?

Mouth-watering meatball repast
delighted every bud of tongue;
a meatball memory was cast--
things look so big when you are young.
