Best Digestive Poems


Mad Defining

Maddening thought to process such a word
Mad definition defining more than anger
Mad upset feeling fever flushed climatic danger
Mad mangled minor class offense verse major
Madly suggestive messages a madden proclaimer
Mad made digestive mental notes selective 
Madder matters making moves motioning more
Minds mad capacities hijacking brains plane
Mad makers massive maze uncontained 
Moistening our various vented veins change
Mad to be or not to be?
Crazy…

Not Sitting Well

Certain foods you used to love
Don’t sit well any more.
Our stomachs can’t digest, with ease,
Some things they did before.

So it is best avoiding them
And sticking with each meal
Or snack which to your taste buds
And digestive tract appeal.

The same applies to friendships.
Some relationships, once good,
No longer make us feel the way
You’d hope a friendship would.

Eliminating foods or friends
Means that much less to choose
But if we love what we have left
We don’t have much to lose.

Pardon Me

The digestive system, what can I say, 
A favorite to exercise many times a day. 
It’s always working whether awake or asleep, 
And most of the time you don’t hear a peep. 
But once in a while, loud sounds can be heard, 
If from someone else, then give them this word. 
Borborygmus it’s called in the singular form, 
But hearing it once is just not the norm. 
Borborygmi it’s known as the plural kind, 
But don’t let this words get you out of your mind. 
Remember…
One hippopotami cannot get on a bus,
Cause one hippopotami is two hippopotamus.
Just memorize the words, load your burb gun, 
Borborygmi means many, borborygmus means one.

The Merits of Fasting: Merry Ramazaan

Fasting cleanses both body and soul
It breaks you only to make you whole
Its spiritual connection plays a vital role.

Now not only the wearer knows the shoe pinches
for you get the chance to be in the needy's shoes
A whole month to forget those addictive binges
A chance to comprehend the poor man's cues.

Donot complain if your tummy's rumbling grumbling
for the poor man has always been thus starving
Feel his hunger, feel for him
and side by side give your weight a trim
Everybody wants to be so slim.

Many religions do prescribe it
The fasting one will describe it
If you have never done it
you might want to try it.

A month of fortitude, forbearance is a month of fasting
intended to impart a self-control and patience that's everlasting.

We all need ketosis to get rid of the lipids, fat stores
And researcher Google just told me that's what fasting ensures!

Craving for eatables the belly though may be raging
yet scientists have proved that produces a substance for anti-aging!

So if you are interested in a healthier, longer life span
come join me and fast away this month of Ramazaan.
It's time you understood God's health plan.

Researchers say the fasting person diverts energy
from the digestive system to the immune system!
Every wajibat has been proven good for both soul and body
Scroll even Google for yourself to thank the fasting dictum.

Fasting's a perfect way of bodily detoxification
Researchers say it's notable how fasting detoxifies each organ!

So come one come all, fasting can be for any creed
It lowers the BP and lowers the greed
as attention is diverted from the self to those in need.

I hope a month of NO food yet gives some food for thought
For a fasting from pondering should never be sought!

Premium Member Prodigal Son Lessons

I said to my prodigal son
who stole from me,
it is not competitive economic strategies
that dominantly empower life;

Competitive ecologies and economies 
are dominantly decomposing monocultures,
just the opposite of regenerative synergetic praxis
and regenerative intent toward polycultures.

Monopolistic internal consumer-culture
develops into decomposing organic systems
dissonant cognitive 
and emotive 
and neural 
and digestive systems
diseased health and well-being
 
Socio-economic 
and politically dissociated systems,
all negatively trending toward closed-entropic,
swollen monolithic sad dismay 
replacing former therapeutic system 
glad array.

We need cooperatively dominant economies and ecologies
to reintegrate positive revolutions
that endo- and ecto-symbiotically evolve
dipolar co-arising life regenerating 
holistic healthy systems.

Competitive critical events,
like stealing from and stolen from,
struggling between painful suffering of ego-self consciousness
and "positive deviant" stress,
self co-arising right-brained redactive eco-precociousness

Contention 
seeking bicamerally balancing contentment,
joint cooperative ego-eco echoing
incoming/outgoing waves 
of double-binding comprehensive co-passioness.

Primal
and yet stealthy 
nonverbal structures
of cosmo-neuro-logical information
evolves bilateral-analogical exflowation,
cobinary
bicameral information co-redeems
transparently co-arising
EgoSelf+EcoOther resonant co-discernment.

"All money is a matter of belief"
said Adam Smith,
As all embodied wealth value 
is synergy 
for relief from self-isolating mind sorrow,
said Now MindTime to Here BodySpace.

Transparent matters 
of historic linear human progress belief
square-rooted in herstoric matriculture's transparent 
vulnerable co-communing energy
invites co-gravitational trauma relief 
from eco-political dissonating stress.

I love my prodigal self-infested son,
perhaps somewhat more than he yet has capacity
to love his wounded womb progenitor
speaking up and out
for restoring and restorying healthy
wealth of peace.


Angela's Dream

Such strange fat fireflies so early in the month of Beltane, pondered Angela, as she watched their ephemeral light brighten then fade.  Was she ken to a mutation from some radioactive mist or super acidic rain?  Or, more simply, a mischievous neuron in her prodigal imagination played. 

It was kind of scary, she thought, for how unspeakable would they become by summer?  Angela waved her arms chaotically, hoping to obfuscate their sense of direction.  Running home, she collapsed on the toilet and performed a thorough lavation to refresh and calm herself -- whilst a single, stealthy flyer wangled and buried it's exoskeleton deep within her shorts, without suspect or detection. 

There it waited, nestled in her warmth like some grotesque, undefinable blur.  Her sleep was a nightmarish kaleidoscope of aerial motion over meadows and fields of variegated flora and shambling human/insect hybrids that feasted and festered upon her.  Angela's brainiac intellect lay suspended in the grip of a changeling's aura. 

She woke in warm light, instantly relieved that the interminable night had ended.  Her eyes appeared befuddled, for the sun was now setting in the pastel-painted west.  Angela proceeded to crawl on the bed in vermicular circles, and then she ascended into her final epitaph ... in the digestive fluids of a companion lightning pest.

God Digested

It takes man to create god.
It takes people to consume a 
thought.
With the world and all it's 
delusions,
Promises made, 
Lives destroyed with 
superstitions.
Death, destruction.
The corruption of mankind.
Arrogance and ignorance run 
the population.
 
When will god go down?
Down the depths of the 
digestive system.
What makes the thought so 
reasonable?
Do you swallow the preachers 
words?
Without question, be 
considerate.
A little criticism is what your 
god deserves.
 
A god like yours is neither here 
nor there.
From the depths of the ocean 
to the tallest mountains.
There's no god around who 
cares.
What makes it so real for a 
maniacal man to find answers 
in something so false?
Why is your faith worth more 
than the life of someone who 
dares question your claims?
 
The god that you worship is 
stuck in the throat.
Waiting to enter the stomach 
and bowels.
Allow him to exit the ******* of 
society and go down the drain 
with the rest of the fouls.

Premium Member A Cheesy-Breezy Holiday

The best things that Christmas guarantees
          Are the festive, digestive joys of cheese

No holiday platter is nearly complete
          Without the familiar fumes ... of feet

Softening chunks of wafting wonder
          Offered up aged for you to plunder

Those holey and rolly blocks to devour
          So properly plump, and soddenly sour

There's no better bits for a yuletide slacker
          Than great gobs of funk on a crispy cracker

And stuffing a sock or a Christmas Buddha
          Is perfect diversion for a gram of Gouda

Or perhaps just a nip of Neufchâtel bliss
          Bouncing its stink for a mistletoe kiss

What better addition to the bells of a sleigh
          Than vino with bread, and a cheese in decay?

Or, the ideal pal for a proud poinsettia?
          Why, a warmingly wonderful wee wedge of feta!

No matter what floats on the holiday breeze
          It's ALWAYS out-funked by a good ... Christmas cheese!

No Pain No Gain, Crikey, Danger Mouse

Alice plummets down the hole, a fallin’ to no end,
She mumbles to herself these words, for she’s without a friend:
   >>Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats? Do bats eat cats?> It hurts, by George, it hurts… 
    It hurts a million times and more and then it hurts again!> Hot cross buns, hot cross buns. 
   One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns.<<
Is there no balm in Gilead? for here I can’t find none.
Even now my grammar appears to come undone!

Bovine Ailments

Bovine ailments make cows sad
Diseases I have never had
Dreams that cannot be fulfilled
Stomachs, four, happiness, nil

Soured milk from rotting udders
Poorly calfs with fretting mothers
Coughing, wheezing as they plod
Where many a gangrenous hoof has trod

In pastures green you ruminate
Lamenting your uneven gait
Too weak to really go the distance
Requiring veterinary assistance

Perpetual clouds in bovine skies
Leave salty tears in Freisians’ eyes
Time may heal, but it can’t take back
The worms in your digestive tract

Killing time is half the battle
For disease inflicted cattle
In the wake of wooden tongue
And lumpy jaw, you stand undone

Bovine ailments make cows die
In peace at last, their carcasses lie
Let fate release its tedious vultures
To feast on victims of agriculture

From parasitic infection released
Now ambling in joy and peace
On to cow heaven, single file
Softly mooing, breaking a smile

Good Night and Sweet Dreams of the Day

A whispering word is a whispering void cantering over airspace. Clear but unclear. Oh the sheer detectable ideology of the fungal worm. Chitter chatter consume. Consumption is the eruption. And like a fine wine to a palate leaves no bereft anarchical wonderful wound. It leaves only a blemish you see. Wipe away and wield and wield. Surely only in a field is one golden shard shirt obtained through an era of cataclysmic canals. And now the peace of the sound injects and vibrates the atmosphere with simple yet symbolic and symmetrically placed soul speak. And so medicine is delivered to the gatherings at many a synchronization and talking cannot halt the dosage. And idle is the bows that do not shout or shoot. And to interrupt a single layer of brain peanut style is to merely swim backstroke against a myrtle current of which is called time. Collaborative collisions then. Good. Youthful digestive tunnels but as yet no turrets. Bouncing booming boogie bongos. Waves of impassive moods.magically magic majestic morphological moods. Xxxxxx ever since a baa comes an array.........savour not a salt and salute no angel for angel is an angel and anglers waltz in a very highly driven snow. So hahahahaha lumps of pressure means a tyre washing in progress....hahahaha mean not a mingle....hahahaha elevated eon.....hahaha and hohoho honourable hideous hundred xxxxxx inconspicuous..z

The  Re-movement of Body Waste

Feed a palate is consumption of food
Into stomach’s upper and lower masses
Digestive walls will arise to its challenge
All that has been eaten in order to live 
We waste not for want of not! 

Leave your plate all too empty
A good full bowel will provide
Your toilet’s flushed plumber pipes
To work its system of waste expulsion 
Into vast city sewers well hidden
Under our rain washed streets!

Cow Gas

This is for Andrea D. who asked for my Cow Gas poems.  I have at least one more to 
post.  Look for California Cows.    Mike

Cow Gas

I’m putting my cows all on Beano
With the veggies they eat – oh the gas
Eight hundred plus liters of methane
Each day through each cow does pass
Either that or get funnels and tubing
To capture the gas when it comes
And convert my gas guzzling auto
So on methane alone will it run

If cows can do it, why can’t I
A tube, a tank, and by and by
I’ll generate enough to fry
A burger on my grill
While it won’t get me very far
Were my gas used to run a car
The world would label me a star
For doing what I will
But if everyone would do their part
To capture each and every fart
That through your system did depart
Global Warming would be a chill

Mdailey

Researchers say the slow digestive system of cows makes them a producer of 
methane, a potent greenhouse gas that gets far less public attention than carbon 
dioxide in efforts to fight global warming.  When we got the first results, we were 
surprised. Thirty per cent of Argentina's (total greenhouse) emissions could be 
generated by cows,' said Guillermo Berra, a researcher at the National Institute of 
Agricultural Technology.  Berra said the researchers 'never thought' a cow weighing 
550 kg (1,210 lb) could produce 800 to 1,000 litres (28 to 35 cubic feet) of emissions 
each day.  Greenhouse gases are widely blamed for causing global warming. 
Methane, researchers say, is 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping 
heat in the atmosphere.

We can probably do the same with the typical human male.  It would be no less 
complicated and probably no more uncomfortable than a colostomy bag.  And while 
the typical male may not generate enough gas to run an auto, it should be enough 
to run a gas grill on the weekends.  Think of the savings and the contribution you 
would be making to the war on global warming.  As you all know, girls do not pass 
gas (or so they tell me) so only the male species would be able to contribute in this 
manner.
