Snowed In

snowed in
the cheese grits is bubblin'
the honey butter biscuits are a-risin'
the applewood bacon is a-sizzlin'
she takes charge of the three cheese scrambled eggs
i make the hot chocolate, and i did not forget her marshmallows

snowed in
i am starting the lightly sweetened sausage links
she takes care of the buttermilk waffles
butter pecan syrup for me
strawberry syrup for her
i put the cheese danishes and the cinnamon rolls in the oven
the icing is best when it is done with a woman's touch

snowed in
checking her out with strategic timing
i catch her notice checking herself and she quickly turns away with a smile
sighing heavily, i take in the perfectly blended aromas
she goes to the window and watches the snow continuing to fall
i do to the window where she is and hold her from behind
we still ourselves in the moment.....wondering what happened to us.....

Stronger

Strange are these feeling that beseech me
overcome by the aroma of the not yet crisp
applewood bacon   sizzling on the grill
not realizing    I have been burned

Sitting at a table meant for two
my eyes are glued to my book
but my thoughts are only of you
that killer smile and those angel eyes

It has been long  way to long
since I have cooked only for one
a simple tear trails my pallid cheek  and
for a moment I allow myself to be weak

Even though I miss you so    I know
I have to be much stronger

The Icy Mix Is Coming Down

the icy mix is coming down
got my applewood bacon and cheese hot pockets
got my cheddar cheese instant grits
got my hint of honey almond milk
yet i am still a bit hoarse

the icy mix is coming down
got my remote control
found a fairly new episode of house hunters
got my favorite place on the sofa
yet i am still a bit off the main course

the icy mix is coming down
set my tablet up in pandora
got my louis jordan station giving me eargasms
laid my weary body down in my favorite spot on the bed
yet i am still feeling a tad bit far from near

the icy mix is coming down
got the blinds open but ajar
got the attention span on the view but partially
got a maze craze space as filler for the rest of the day
yet i am still the unfortunate source of a malevolent misery because she is not here


Premium Member Bacon

Friend to pancakes and scrambled eggs
Slices of heaven from succulent pigs
No sleepy head can stay asleep
Bacon's aroma makes taste buds weep

No cheeseburger can survive
When Bacon is piled up high
The sandwich of the gods
Bacon from the meat of hogs

Flavor savor smells so good
Eat it Eat it you know I would
Save the grease for extra flavor
Bacon is the taste I favor

Bacon bits make a salad palatable
Bacon strips make liver eatable
Bacon is the real deal
Bacon Bacon for every meal

Bacon cooked with cabbage
Without it life is savage
Bacon is a dog's favorite treat
Forget Fido let me eat

Smoked with hickory or applewood
Cured with sugars is understood
Crisp or chewy Yum Yummy Yum
Maple or peppered give me some

Baked, microwaved or fry
Without it kiss life goodbye
Bacon Bacon fills my freeza
Best part of any pizza

Bacon can never be eaten raw
Buy precooked if no time to thaw
Bacon makes a wonderful jerky
Bacon is pork never turkey.

Winter

The cool north wind is blowing
Winter is here to stay
Sweaters are out and airing
Lets go out and play
Rivers have frozen and stopped flowing
Its snowing, its snowing, its snowing

The aroma of burning wood
The smell of hot coffee
Warm jacket with red hood
Eating marshmallows and toffee
Sparrows among the applewood
Brings memories of girlhood

Snowflakes on hair and pink noses
Gloves and colourful mittens
Garden full of fragrant roses
Cat with her litter of kittens
Grandpa in the sun dozes
