Tasty Teresa

Inspiration

Tasty Teresa was written for no other reason than to amuse myself. I'd got the couplet about finding Teresa in <someone's> freezer / in convenient family-sized joints in my head, and I had to write the rest of the poem to find out how they'd got there. The male protagonist was originally called "Hannibal", but that seemed a little too obvious, frankly, so he became Mario, to rhyme with "lothario."

Publications
