Grits

In the land of biscuits and fried chicken fried,
There's a dish that'll make you feel all warm inside,
It's a Southern delight, a true culinary hit,
I'm talking 'bout grits, y'all, God's best creation, I'll admit!

Now, you can have 'em plain or you can dress 'em up nice,
With cheese, with shrimp, they'll make your taste buds dance on ice,
Shrimp 'n grits, a classic combo, oh so fine,
A dish fit for a king, a meal that'll make you shine!

Cheese grits, oh my goodness, what a treat,
Creamy, gooey goodness, can't be beat,
Cheddar, mozzarella, or even a bit of Parm,
You'll be coming back for seconds, ain't no harm!

But let me tell y'all, there's a line you can't cross,
A rule about grits, it ain't no mere gloss,
If you sweeten 'em up, add honey or sugar, oh my,
You've committed blasphemy, you might as well fly!

Only a yankee would do such a thing,
Sweet grits? It's enough to make a Southern heart sting,
Grits are meant for savory, for salty, for cheese,
If you want 'em sweet, well bless your heart, just say please!

So next time you're hankering for a true Southern dish,
Remember the golden rule, it's your wish,
Shrimp 'n grits, cheese grits, they'll never fail,
but if you make sweet grits, you are going straight to hell!

So raise your fork, dig in with a mighty cheer,
Grits are the best, have no fear,
God's own creation, a gift from the South,
Grits are what it's all about!

In a world of fancy dishes and gourmet cuisine,
Grits stand tall, they're the real queen,
So let's all give thanks for this humble fare,
Grits, oh grits, beyond compare!

So here's to grits, the Southern star,
The best dish by far,
No matter how you like 'em, they're sure to please,
Grits, oh grits, bring us to our knees!
