Best Guacamole Poems
Round and smooth
orange red
playing sunset
in azure pail
holding hands
with moonlight
slices
gifts of pearls
from the earth
dancing peppers
hot and horned
kicking out
garlic smell
sunlit squeezed
lemon lime
sparkles from
sea salt beds
lacey fragrance
green cilantro
apple cider
gold coriander
oil, cumin
peppercorn
avocado
pit and all
rainbow spread
on folded rounds
juicy jewels
on crunchy crown.

Life could be better, but easily worse.
Sometimes I feel blessed; other times cursed.
As I get older, I look back and see—
Life’s mostly better when you are with me
Together we’re like…
Chips and salsa, with some cilantro inside (Kinda spicy).
Yeah, like chips and salsa, with guacamole one the side (Kinda feisty).
We go together, obviously. I hope, forever, that you’ll stay with me.
We’re like chips and salsa, jalapenos on the side.
Sometimes we argue, but don’t really fight.
I know you love me, so it’s all right.
You know I love you, so it’s plain to see
Life’s clearly better when you are with me

I’m movin’ forward, but keep lookin’ back.
Anything missing? Anything lack.
With hindsight vision, I look back and see--
Life’s always better when you are with me.

Chips and Salsa (22 Feb 2019)
Life could be better, but easily worse.
Sometimes I feel blessed, other times cursed.
As I get older, I look back and see—
Life’s mostly better, when you are with me.
Sometimes we argue, but don’t really fight.
I know you love me, so it’s all right.
You know I love you, so it’s plain to see--
Life’s clearly better when you are with me.
If you should leave me, don’t know what I’d do.
My life’s completely invested in you.
I’ve gotta keep you, wherever I go
Life’s surely better together, you know.
I’m moving forward, but keep looking back.
Anything missing? Anything lack?
With hindsight vision, I look back and see,
Life’s been always better when you were with me.
We’re like chips and salsa, with some cilantro inside (kinda feisty).
We’re like chips and salsa – with jalapenos inside (kinda spicy).
We go together, obviously; I hope, forever, that you’ll stay with me.
We’re like chips and salsa, with guacamole one the side (really tasty).

Juan (Johnnie) Avocado Seed
By George W. Clever-----15 September 2020
A migrant boy in California
His only toys were avocado pits
Making castles at the Rancheria
In the dust with the pits where he sits
Until told of a boy who traveled the borders
Planting apple seeds to grow fine orchards
Dreamed of a day when he’d be in demand
Planting huge avocado seeds across the land
For all to share his gift of avocado’s monounsaturated fat
He would be Juan Avocado Seed and that was that
Giving people Guacamole to spread on chips
Sliced garnish on tortillas rice and in their dips
Avocado Mac and Cheese or on pizza Chicago Style
He would be famous as Juan Avocado Seed mile after mile
Unable to leave his Rancheria without a Chevy
The bag of Avocado pits was just too heavy
Yes, the avocado seed, a Creator’s mistake
Its pits too large and heavy he did make
Somehow, it was lovely to know about your interest of fruits.
First banana then green apple, eventually avocado.
With all the fruits available, you introduced me the “guacamole”.
When I loved the new menu and after three successful meals,
You told me about Ajvar.
I went shopping to get the right ingredients.
With the online instructions,
I made a jar of your favorite relish without tasting it.
Then I had a chance to make a mixed salad with a lot of our favourites.
Finally, together for the first time, we went shopping,
To meet your craving of potato's salad.
We walked all over the places,
From one markets to another,
From this suburb to the next,
Because you wanted to find the cheapest.
I later realised, you just wanted to fulfill your own interest.
I loved all kind of salad, but never made them myself,
Except the simple mixed one.
So, finally, we had three different meals all at once.
The shopping, cooking and food consuming all ended,
When you returned them without reasoning.
When I mused over these memories, I remembered clearly.
I was tossed between telling you about my feelings,
Or to end our friendship before it went too deep.
Now, it is true, you had helped ending it,
But the way you did it, had hurt me cruelly,
It was like pleasing you in vain,
And ended up with tremendous emotional pain.
Holy guacamole! :O
I'm reading "From-
Humdrum to Holy"!

This is really a book!
Look it up online! :-)

For the first time, we prepare "guacamole"
You tried only one teaspoon and stated
"33, it tastes very good". Then you took home a boxful.
You insisted on no gifts, no clothes, no binturong and no Platypus.
You read only one poem written about Platypus.
You said, no gift, except computers related.
I knew little about computers and internet.
I really don't know how to please you.
I feel, it was like either I own a private zoo,
Grant you unlimited access to visit
Your beloved animals who live there.
Or I become very cute to attract you.
Like the Panda, Binturong and Platypus.
It becomes clear we have very different tastes in leisure.
You love animals and I love nature.
Nevertheless, I love you with all my heart.
I Accept and agree to stay apart.
