A haiku response to the food prompt, “anchovies”

This salty heaven on a hot slice of pizza, nothing tastes better

I adore anchovies. I can eat them on just about anything. I’ve even been known to eat them straight from the tin. The only downside of anchovies for me are all those very fine bones. Most of the time they dissolve without a problem, but once in a while I get one that lodges awkwardly in my throat and stays there for hours, even days. Nevertheless, I always forgive the anchovy, that little slice of salty heaven. Yum….

Just call me Dr Zoidberg, right? ;)
