A Cup of Seuss

Waiter oh Waiter please do serve me do I ravage from hunger from hunger I do To start some spaghetti with fine onion rings Topped with an apple and some other things A soft boiled egg balanced on top of a stick Could you master this neat little trick Fluffy warm souffle with mustardy cheese Surrounded by hundreds of fresh garden peas Pancakes without the warm maple sauce Bring about thirty I eat like a horse For main course I desire a chicken complete Don't kill it or cook it just tie up its feet Garnished with roast spuds and custardy cream With mashed carrots and swede a true diners dream With plenty of gravy baked in a crust Mixed with raisins and peanuts I think its a must And finally followed by the sweet I love best Profiteroles and ice cream in a fresh robins nest Coated in cucumber and hot orange peel I trust you will bring me this glorious meal With lashing of coffee and biscuits and tea Now hurry now hurry bring this meal to me My stomach is rumbling like a great prairie beast In anticipation of this glorious feast

Hi John, You did a great job with this seuss like poem. I think Seuss would be proud. It had content, rhymes and humor. Congratulations on your fine win. It was well deserved: -) Alexis PS, I wrote a seuss like poem too entitled "Beetle bug soup." I did it just for fun and I didn't enter it in the contest.

Thank you for your comments, I am overwhelmed on a third place. I have read the winning and second placed entries and they were far superior and funny. A fun contest. I learned a lot of tweaks from wrinkles on wording fron the above two and will write myself another seussy poem for the general poetry area. thank you once again. John
