Best Chew The Fat Poems
A Foodie's Love SonnetBowled over, kneading you, feeling sub-lime
from my head tomatoes. Hear my heart beet!
Eggcited, wonton you olive the thyme.
Donut you carrot all for me at yeast?
You’re one in a melon, sweet sugar pie,
forbidden fruit I find so appeeling.
Cherry on the cake, apple of my eye.
Has there...

The Mystery of Humpty Dumpty(typo just fixed)
Old Humpty Dumpty, the egg on the wall,
had a friend Bacon, who was ten feet tall.
Those two went together like bread goes with jam,
pen goes with paper, or glaze goes with ham!
Friends since their childhood, they’d made a blood pact.
Bacon got fried,and gave...

The ElectedThe Elected
Sharks leave the water to campaign on land
Drink Champagne at political parties
Draw blood; circle around, troll for enemies
Take contributions with a wink
Tease young girls, kiss babies, follow rules
To the point of razor sharp teeth
Follow schools of fish
Delicious to eat
Sharks don’t just swim. ...

About the 1500'sMost people got married in June because
They took their yearly bath in May
Body odor was the reason
Of the flowers in a bouquet
A big tub of hot water was used
For a bath, so that's not complex
The males's right was to go first
The women and children...

Here's What We'Re MissingWe talk, we rap, we connect, we chat
To figure out where our heads are at
We discuss, we explain, criticize, clarify
We ask a few questions: What, where and why
We argue, debate, yell, fight and contest
We scratch and claw for the...

AboutAbout
Now I’m retired, free of bosses
And fools and spinners of bull;
Now I’m retired and free:
“Working”… was being trapped in a
Spinning washing machine
Should I explain, or let you imagine?
Now I’m retired: targets have gone;
Together with days and “time”…
Time is now, today and “about”
And coffee
Now I’m retired...

Mama's Golden Pond CriedMama's Golden Pond Cried
Mama loved to chew
off the Golden Pond
bone
chew the fat
of their autumn leaves,
dressed in splendor,
a scenic lake and cabin,
her pseudo stage,
of her new found barbies,
smiling at her
smile they did
so minted the american dream,
their lives golden.
These.
These
pocketed keepsakes she kept
next to the chip

A Farewell To LawrenceWe suffer in silence yet our hearts bleed out loud
We hope our hearts, keep our feelings sealed yet our eyes reveal what our heart tried to conceal
We Fight for Strength
We Battle for Bravery
We clutch our hearts and threaten to die for...

Naked truth, bent nails
dead men tell no tales
bad Apple, broken mirrors
burnt out light bulbs, crocodile tears
spilt milk, goose chase
two cents worth, rat race
rotten egg, bad to the bone
eagle eye, no place like home.

pulled punch
big cheese,
no free lunch

The Wonders of the Cell PhoneThe wonders of the Cell Phone
By Franklin Price
6/12/2016
The wonders of the cell phone,
If you can call it that,
Are miraculous and myriad
Not just there to chew the fat.
Can make a call, or text a friend,
Take a picture of a moose,
Play games, pay bills and find your...

GuestsThe guests have come and gone, now back to the old routine.
We showed them all the tourists spots, partook of local cuisine,
Put many miles on the old sedan and spent a ton of dough!
Sure was nice to see them come - better yet to see...

NadacowboyI am not a cowboy, though I wear a cowboy hat
and the boots I wear have pointed toes and heels that ain’t near flat.
I want to be a cowboy, but I’m stopped by one condition
I just can’t get a handle on those cowboy definitions.
When you...
