A tribute to mapo tofu

Eight years have gone by
Through it all, you stood by me
Food truck mapo tofu

In the sunny times
Through the cold winter days
You fed my hunger

And today I went
To savor you one last time
To bid you farewell

Something went amiss
You were not you, you have changed
The smell, the taste - gone

Who did this to you?
Who dared defile your beauty?
Oh, what have they done?

Here in this tribute
I share memories of you
And toast to your taste

You were never like
The other mapo tofus
You stood out above the rest

Your sweetness, your sauce
Your soft tofu and veggies
Symphony of tastes

Though I wish that we
Could have shared another lunch
Change will always come

Oh mapo tofu
I thank Goosebeary for you
And wish you the best

Tofu on the brain
Makes Cat wax so eloquent
And makes me hungry
