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
