Best Carrot Poems
House of commons, Quebec i think,? questions and
Odd answers; the air waxed thick..up to point..' debate
Was staged, till the veil of control, almost got frayed.'
Yet oppression was to carry this bout' the speaker flipped
And switched it out, on the un-reigned shouts, a little grim?Yet a smile indeed he wore, above the sober; gown of..
( Law?) The switch on beasts maybe is banned? Whithin
The border of that land.? If one is there it must belong to
Historys annals, and in real sad songs, owned by the folk
And not one man? An heirloom albeit not that grand.' I
For one observe such tricks, the denial of carrot
And the weilding of stick..Er i mean switch.!

Oh how my Grandmother could make a wonderful carrot cake
I'm sure many can remember how our grandmothers could bake
How that wonderful smell would meander right up to her front door
So as soon as we walked up we knew that something special was in store
And then finally one day, as I grew older and I even got my first car
I called and said 'I was coming over', for Grand Mom didn't live that far
Saying 'I wanted to learn more, so one day I might be able to bake
She said, "sure come on over, and we will make some carrot cake"
Of course there was no wonderful smell as I walked through her door
And then out on the kitchen table, all scattered there was so much more
There was salt, flour, oil, baking soda and powder and even vanilla extract
'Wow!' thinking the taste of all these ingredients by themselves really lack
Yet when all these things are brought together with a loving hand
By being part of this sum and coming together they make something grand
Maybe you're the flour in God's plan or maybe you feel like just basic oil
But God's is using all of us in his plan and you wouldn't want the cake to spoil
(Romans 8:28)
Dedicated to my grandmother Cecil Senechal

I was really having trouble deciding on a pet
Exactly what I wanted I wasn’t sure just yet
I pondered and I pondered until I couldn’t bear it
Then it finally came to me, I’ll get a baby carrot
Now I did not expect to have just any orange sprout
It took a lot of looking to pick the right one out
By the time I picked one out, my head was in a whirl
But he was sure a cutie and I quickly named him Earl
Earl can be a character and he is quite a riot
But when I’m watching TV, he’s always very quiet
Earl won’t watch the Gourmet Chef, in fact he really hates him
It’s because one day he cooked some carrots and he ate them
Earl always keeps a tidy room and never makes a mess
He never gives me trouble and I really must confess
The few times he’s been naughty and had to have a whack
He took it well and never even thought of talking back
I recently brought home for Earl a little carrot friend
I think it was a big mistake that bit me in the end
When I got home from work today I caught him kissing Earl
And then it finally dawned on me, my carrot is a girl

I love the orange coloured skin
My carrot has to tempt my eyes
I love the crunchieness within
Which with my teeth I realise
I munch, I chew, I taste the juice
The sweetness of the central core
Willingly I let seduce
This vegetable, this paramour.
There is no finer time than this
A summer's sunset in a field
A carrot slowly chewed is bliss
My soul is calm, my stomach filled.

Because of a jackknifed tractor-trailer up ahead,
vehicles on this highway has been stopped cold dead.
The radio traffic report came on a little late.
That is the reason for my ignominious fate.
I had to use the highway to get to the liquor store.
I ran out of beer, so I had to get some more.
Therefore, I will be stuck here for quite some time.
The way some people drive seems like a big crime.
Wait a minute! I see a female that is sublime.
She is in a little foreign job a few cars from me.
This attractive redhead appears as cute as can be.
Hello there carrot top! Yes, I am talking to you!
Why don’t you come over here and have yourself a brew?

I am sorry,
I am very sorry,
This is for my daughter
I mean my young, beautiful pet.
That was it, the voice of my friend
Who now prides himself
Of another daughter across the street
Only God knows how many of such
I mean those susceptible to his carrot.
Indeed, very young
Full of life to live
Looking innocently attractive
Until he crept into her life.
Her Aunt’s door left ajar
She fell like a pack of card.
He dazzles her Aunt with intermittent gifts
He branded the girl “My daughter”
My innocent friend became a father
And dangles before his daughter a lanky carrot.
As times tickles away,
The daughter not only eats the golden carrot
But she swallows it gently with exactitude
Yet, her Aunt saw no changes
When carrots thickens her sister’s hips
And her flat buttocks getting curved roundly
While her chest pointer getting shaped
Her Aunt still blinded with gifts of “Suya and bread”.
Here comes this day knocking
As my friend’s daughter
Vomits and coughs repeatedly,
She feigned to be well before her Aunt.
“Nothing, I’m okay”
She smiled to her friends
And pretends to all
But grim only at her father
The act got caught short
Not for too long,
Now we all know,
That she has swallowed her father’s carrot
And it got stucked in her throat.
When?, Where?, Who?, her Aunt queried
Three months ago, she retorted
My . . . My . . . My . . . father, she replied.
Before eyes got blinked,
My friend’s was out of town
In search of another daughter.

Spiced up for my good friend Tope and his daughter.
It all happened on my visit to Abuja.

Foggy windows of the cafe on a rainy, rainy day.
Fingers tingling, saved from the cold by warm porcelain.
Coffee and carrot cake.
A meeting with friends over a tasty treat,
Half an hour, short and sweet, then back into the cold.
Home again and warm again.

Come in disguise, the invite read
Feast our eyes, allow us to guess
Dress in truthful lies, was what it said
Like a queen in chess, whose off with their head!
Prizes awarded for the best dressed
Whoevers costume most impressed
We've got Batman and Joker
Lion-O and Mummra
We have Tom and also Jerry
with Catwoman played by Halle Berry
Wearing the mask off of Jim Carrey
Alice is hear, she looks so grand
The MadHatter too, he's never bland
Someone's even dressed as a foetus
bet they thought that would beat us
I am naked with a girl on my back
for that idea I took some flack
But I felt it'd do ever so well
I am a snail and this is Michelle
Over there's a man dressed as cheese
chatting up girls who like bries
I jump over two men clothed as sheep
Who beg my return cos they're trying to sleep
A quick chat with Bob Marley
and see a scooter dressed as a Harley
Even has the handlebars from Salvador Dali.
Please don't get too depressed
poor losers and all the rest
look at Joe, he did best
put the effort in and passed the test
don't use his sash as a garrot
he looks great as a carrot
fancily dressed as a parrot!

From an old live action memory, we first start to see your vibrant spirit
Rambunctious, exuberant and decided; RED
Breathtaking, beautiful eyes from the genes of a father
Like the baby blue shallows of the ocean
Past the calm, lies crashing waves of wild energy, and an irrepressible excitement for life, through the endless experiments it offers
An unwavering flame of determination and strength
Shining from the inside out, a love of sequined shirts and blinding sparkly silver hats
Reaching for the stars with a dream to be an electrical engineer
Small in stature but equipped with the roar of a thousand lions,
She’ll change the world
Tough, tireless, tenderhearted tendencies
Strength of character, amid affliction, and despite the odds
Creativity, unimaginably limitless like the vastness of space
Crafted concoctions of sweet smelling, pink strawberry delight
Our fiery carrot top, she’ll change the world.

Cream cheese and flour are combined
With fine chopped walnuts
A cup of drained pineapple
And grated carrots
To bake a classic
Carrot cake

Our young Martin was out in the snow
Despite the cold, his face was aglow,
A sight never forgot
A snowman he liked not,
Why upside down he wanted to know?
Poor young Martin, despite being wee,
So curious he went on his knee.
The carrot seemed so low
Asked mum in voice so slow
“Is that how all those cold snowmen pee?”
