JUST IN TIME

 Squash is a great vegetable
 Often overlooked except
 During the hillidays
 I mean holidays
 For a minute there
 I must of thought 
 That I was living in Kentucky
  
 Good folks there, though
 And meant nothing derogatory
 They have great basketball
 And you can’t forget mint juleps 
 The Derby and My Old Kentucky Home
 Their whiskey is known around the world
 Their coalmines are well documented 
  
 About the squash
 It is important to bake it long enough
 You want it to fall apart with a fork
 No need to ruin it with brown sugar
 It stands well on its own
 It can be a whole meal and is healthy
 Provides many vitamins and nutrients 
  
 I like it as a side dish to pork ribs
 A rib, some squash and a little fruit sauce
 What more could a person want
 Maybe a toss salad and a glass of white wine
 Getting back to the title of this musing
 I woke up just in time to put the squash into the oven
 Nothing important to your life, but thought you would like to know
