A Song of Suet
A Song of Suet

Dumplings should be made with suet,
white nuggets of gold we mined for
in a steaming stew to savour,
prospectors of the tasty treat,
as we were in our fabled heyday.

All mined out now,
and suet a forgotten dream;
small comfort that we know now how it’s made.

Free verse
For Express It In Eight, 02.24.22
Prompt: Dumpling.
