Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Nourishment

It’s coffee over tea for me
And bagels over bread.
My other drink of choice is beer
Or, rarely, wine instead.

I like my veggies crunchy,
Even if they’re somehow cooked,
And on pizza or on pasta
I could live ‘cause I am hooked.

My day would not be happy
Without cheese and also fruit,
Plus some cake or pie or cookies,
With an ice cream bowl to boot.

Though my diet wouldn’t satisfy
Most people that I meet,
My mind and body seem content
With what I choose to eat.

Marikate Kingston March 23, 2023 at 11:36 PM Sadly I found macadamian cookies to be addicting. Thank goodness I'm not a good baker. My mom used to say somthing funny when eating a sundae. "One minute on your lips, forever on your hips" You're last 2 lines sum it up for me! This was fun to read but now I need a snack. Tee hee.

Caren Krutsinger December 30, 2022 at 10:50 PM I want to come by and eat some of your food; it sounds like my favorite stuff!

I Am Anaya December 23, 2022 at 11:45 AM With every delicious bite, I would be satisfied but tippin the scales! Love your choices

Gershon Wolf December 22, 2022 at 9:57 PM Sounds like you are in the 'mellow jello' stage of life. ~ Takes one to know one. LOL

Andrea Dietrich December 22, 2022 at 10:09 AM Your verse two is the only one compatible with me, but yeah, pizza and pasta may they reign supreme forever!! I like cheese a lot too! and I force myself to eat 7 veggies with a few fruits per day. that is probably how you keep healthy!

Hannah Borke December 21, 2022 at 3:46 PM Your poems about nothing turn out superb

Tom Cunningham December 21, 2022 at 11:45 AM Eat and drink what you like, like you I only eat food I enjoy and puts a smile on my face. Tom

Terry Flood December 21, 2022 at 11:41 AM Coffee, ice cream and cheese… my, you could make a trifle. Okay, a weird trifle, but hey… it’s coffee, ice cream and cheese… YUMMMMMY! I do like fruit but you said ‘cheese’ so er… what’s fruit? ;-) Terry

Jim Slaughter December 21, 2022 at 11:28 AM Well, Ilene, this delightful piece is certainly "nourishment" for the soul. I like my veggies either raw...as in a salad...or steamed.
