Mixed Up Stuff Biryani
Mixed up stuff in a dumpster truck
Placed in front, lost out lady luck
Cut up chunks of a coral snake
Left in an oven too cold to bake
The dyed rice in a toxic brew
That if eaten leaves eyes askew
Yellow red and burnt out browns
Craftily topped with lemony crowns
Seriously! Carrots too! In the milieu
Gulp and keep in a murderous stew
No mutton or chicken or even beef
Dead and barren like a burnt out reef
Charred remains of onion flakes
Now have to eat whatever it takes
Pooch wagged and lowered his snout
Hair raised cat, lost, screeched about
Flies too nose dived into the morass
Like so many soldiers dying of gas
Girl who cooked it will kick me out
Send me spiting in a coughing bout
