Michelle Faulkner Poet Limerick

Green Cuisine

Lurking in fuzzy leftovers is seen
A quivering, crawling hairball of green
A florescent prune
Or cheese from the moon
Gurgles gastric, plastic alien spleen

The miser squire requires gluts of caffeine
To dissect this science project's gangrene
Harpoon on a spoon
Zoom to the saloon
Lunch ladies' supreme mystery cuisine.

Robert Lindley April 13, 2019 at 9:50 AM With my being one with a very fickle stomach, I fully understand the necessity of avoiding green and grossly tainted food. Great limerick and very creative! Michelle Faulkner April 13, 2019 at 5:14 PM I'm very finicky too, Robert, glad you liked this one!

There were many great entries, so you should be proud of your achievement. Best wishes, Carolyn Michelle Faulkner March 24, 2019 at 5:17 PM Thanks for the placement, Carolyn, appreciate it-

Lindsay Laurie March 18, 2019 at 7:01 PM G'day Michelle … sounds very tasty. You probably know that sausages and pies are known as mystery bags in some circles - thanks Michelle - Lindsay Michelle Faulkner March 24, 2019 at 5:17 PM No, didn't know that - I just learned in Australia cookies are called 'biscuits' - slang is sure funny!

M. L. Kiser March 18, 2019 at 11:02 AM I just remembered, I've somewhere else to go for dinner; sorry I can't make it. Good luck in the contest. Michelle Faulkner March 24, 2019 at 5:16 PM But there's always room for green Jello!

CayCay Godwin March 15, 2019 at 2:54 PM You put a lot of 'umph' into this, adding more admirable intensity to each image laden line. Superb job. I hope no one does nose garbage - I'll gag, no - I'll click off before that happens. Really, truly - you done good. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Michelle Faulkner March 24, 2019 at 5:15 PM Thanks, CayCay, I almost put 'gag me w/a spoon' but that would be too dated!

Rico Leffanta March 15, 2019 at 2:43 PM What? No escargot? Good luck, then! Aloha! Rico Michelle Faulkner March 24, 2019 at 5:15 PM Nope, not fond of slimy things on my plate!

Tom Cunningham March 15, 2019 at 1:38 PM Haha I'll pass, not feeling too hungry. Good luck. Tom. Michelle Faulkner March 24, 2019 at 5:14 PM What, you don't want my green meatloaf? :)
