Happy National Scrapple Day!

That’s right: I said scrapple,
not Scrabble or Snapple
or any game you play.
Not to lead you astray.
A classic recipe;
nigh, a necessity
not at any buffet.
They had to find a way
to use all bits of pork.
They found it south of York:
they mixed it with cornmeal—
“everything but the squeal.”
Mixed and poured into pans;
enjoyed across the land.
Creativity on display.
