Premium MemberCabbage And Beans

Far be it
from me to lecture
others on best methods
for success -- myself no paradigm.

In my defense, though,
many of us are hardest
on ourselves, less critical
and gracefully lenient when 
it comes to others -- 

But with self,
constantly aware of every
pimple, even those well
hidden – I often wonder
why so many of us bother
to even own mirrors?
(reflections so subjective)

Too

A Drink Of Let Go

A Drink of Let Go

Hardy Levis shorts
Stuckup seesaw 
Let go of forgot
Now playing
To my mistakes Sounds of chord Shapes in time 
Echo at the end before
The meeting has begun   
I can't let go 
I say what is life
On any casual day
Will I miss the flowers and the.trees
There's a girl over there
we latch on

Sardine for Beans

Peaches and pies, apples mixed with steamed rice
Come and have dinner with me tonight;
 my stomach is growling, and my appetite is rising
There is nothing on the table to eat except passion fruits
That fell from the tree and sour mango cream
But tonight I have something special for you 
And it will make your dream come
...

Has-Beans

One cup was enough
to curl his toes
as caffeine
the psychoactive chemical
allowed no doze
or more than a mug
no matter how roasted
the polyphenols
affected his free radicals
'til he did feel really quite toasted
and yet with no wish to upset
the happy home
after so many years of married life
he chose to grin and bear it
the 'Harried Hubby' syndrome
for altho' his dear

Stimulation

Hot coffee
black coffee
really has the means
when I sup but half a cup
to make me feel
quite full of beans
only one requirement tho'
no decaf if you please
and altho' born in Kenya
where the coffee grows
why it's called
'a cup of Joe'
I'm sure I do not know
but
hot coffee
black coffee
is the best ammo
when I do a mug or two
to give me

Premium MemberIts all green, yet no beans'

Observe the rise of the virulent greens' attention demanding; with  outbursts obscene' the desire to relegate
All humanity' a great lust to destroy; time proven means, in
A mad push to the bottom fragmentation grows; as order
Is dis-placed  chaos is at full throes.' Much sacrifice to
The pagan is now behind closed doors, yet is claimed

Premium MemberBike and Beans

I got a mountain bike 
it sits on my side porch
it sits under a torch 
it should go on  a hike 

I got free beans from Mike 
There’s three beans in my  jeans 
That I’ve had since my teens
or since I was a tike 

bought a psych trip to Wyke
I didn’t take my

Premium MemberI Love Refried Beans

I love refried beans
Jalapeno peppers too
I chop them up and eat them in a bowl of sour cream
All day, all night, and on weekends

But then I get old
My throat betrays me
My stomach goes amuck
I get acid reflux when I eat this
Luckily, I have six huge bottles of Tums

Premium MemberCan Beans

Always a can or two of pork and beans in the pantry
great side dish heated or just eat em out of the can
never any pork just a piece of fat, but most flavored
with a tomato sauce that makes them slightly sweet
cook them with a little barbecue sauce so good to eat
top with bacon bits even

Premium MemberFull of Beans

What happens when the only light you see
Is the mainstream media’s gaslight?
It’s Plato’s Cave all over again
Except the fire throwing shadows now
Is an official gaslight torch.
Ironic tho’ given the current gaslighter’s revulsion
Of all things fossil fuel.
But gaslight it is.
Although the source of the actual gas
Is still under investigation.
My hunch, my bet, my two cents
Is that

Premium MemberJust Born Jelly Beans

Never saw them sold where I live
 get em from Amazon, probably overpay
but they are the taste of joy
 grab a handful and shove those little jelly beans in my mouth
munch on all the colors combining into a burst of fruit flavor
 they are soft and chewy as if they just were made that day
goodness

CAFE

A cute single teen
Enjoys her toast and beans
A young man opens the door
Thier eyes meet over the floor
With cupids arrow in between  
Like a movie love scene

They share a table to feast
Vowing every time they meet
To sit at the same place
Over the table, face to face
But a fire the following week 
Closed the cafe
