Best Barbecue Poems

Each morning just before lunch at eleven,
I can see the black smoke rise.
Pops has his large grill fired up.
Chicken and ribs sizzle over the flame.
Just come here to satisfy your hunger.
Pops is not skimpy on his sauce.
The man is the boss for cooking.

Coals
Turn white
That give off
Heat for cooking,
Now season the steak
And then place on the grill,
Then when it starts to sizzle
Start turning so it doesn't burn,
Cook throughly to your perfection
Then enjoy with salad, fries and cold beer.

Reckless Ron from sunny Bennelong
Turned barbecue sausage without a tong,
He'd use his teeth to open beer,
He'd call out loud, " I've got no fear,"
But alas, one day he left the gas on.



Authors note:
Bennelong is the point in Sydney Harbour, NSW, Australia, where the famous Sydney...

Once there was a right dandy dude from New York
He dined each day on the finest loin of pork
Never met a pig he did not admire,
Roasting on a flaming barby fire
Made even tastier by the pop of the cork.

The sun is shining,
warm summer,night
time to set the grill alight.
Wait untill the charcoal is white,
then you know,it's right.
Bratwurst, steaks,spareribs,
it makes my mouth water,
thinking of this.
The aroma of the meat
sizzling on the grill,
cold beer nicely chilled.
Salads,jacket potatoes,
garlic bread too,
any thing else,just wouldn't do.
Guests seated at the...

I am a barbecue chicken man
and I don't mean from a can
grill or roast it slow and long
slather that sauce on strong
You bet I like it wet
saucy and tangy sweet
Barbecue is like
making candy out of meat
Simmering in it's juices that barbecue smell
makes your mouth water...

We were strolling through time's meadow just walking love's dog....
Then I found a log; threw it in my back pack when she roped his hog ?...

The clouds roll in, the sky gets dark,
The trees sway to and fro
And thunder rumbles, getting set
For Nature's rainstorm show.

Of course the timing coincides
With readying the grill
But if I have to barbecue
While rain pours down, I will.

The burgers and the dogs deserve
A charcoal bed below
So...

it's beautiful, the whole dam business,
the circle, the new and distant friends,
the words formed, which blow away; 
like Zeek and Ike and Calloway; 

and the dark sky, rests; and I 
find a jilted tree, not far from the buzz, 
and the busy blue-breezed, hussy; the...

Barbecue Love
 I grilled your dreams
 Burnt your hopes
 Singed your expectations
 Set your life ablaze
 I fed you charred hopes
 Which gave you indigestion
 The result was constipated love
 Which could only be healed 
 By a laxative name Tyrone
 Tyrone picked up the...

Hang on the wood fire 
Mutton burns with oozing oil---

Ah, the smoky scent hovers
As mesquite burns on
Taking care not to burn them
I flip them often
Juicy hamburgers
Needing some
Cheese!...

lord of the outdoors
ruler of the castle
king of the barbecue
wielding fork and spatula
like a maestro
snow rain or shine
surf and turf
burgers or hotdogs
rotisserie chicken
exotic kebobs
grilled colorful veggies
nontraditional desserts
take a bow
you’re a pro

put a cauliflower on the barb-b
let us roast it while it's still alive
put a burger on the barb-b
it was dead before it was fried
chomp on lettuce, no sound
of begging can you hear
but you just ate it, live me dear
all flora breaths for the world
but go...
