ODE TO A SWEDISH MEATBALL

Meatballs in hoagies.

Meatballs on pasta.

Meatball perogies.

Meatballs…ya basta!

Big, bad Tony Soprano.

Has no bloody idea.

That the finest of meatballs.

Are all found in IKEA.

A tomato-based salsa.

Might, to some, seem a dream.

But the best meatball sauce.

Contains fresh dill and cream.

And a true meatball master.

Much to many’s surprise.

Is eleven feet tall.

With blonde hair and blue eyes.

So, next time in your kitchen.

Embrace your inner Sven.

Fry a ton of Swedish Meatballs.

Stockholm Syndrome’s your friend.
