Best Mashed Potato Poems

The Farm  ©

Fields of mustard
sway in a light breeze
off the river
farm dogs return 
dusted in yellow

the clapboard gray of
the farmhouse
weeps old memories
generations of pea farmers,
hunters, fishermen and cooks

heady fragrance of cooking food
saturate the senses as
the screen door slaps shut

the matriarch sings out
‘tea party!
and the...

The 60's
The look was penny loafers, bobby socks,
pleated skirts, button up shirts,
bell bottom pants and headbands
Flower children were also the era, 
Stood for peace and love also political movement

Listen to the music of the Beatles, Monkeys, Rolling Stones plus many more.
My heart throbbed for John...

Sunshine and stormy weather,
From egg,to feather,

Grains until I am matured,
Off to the boilers for sure,
Cluck,cluck,cluck no more,
Chopped or bi-sect in four,

Leg,wing and thigh,
Jerk,bar-b-que or fry,

Brown stew or curry,
Get me ready in a hurry,

Natural seasoning or powder spice,
Finger licking,I am so nice,

Rice and peas or mashed...

It was another senior high school dance,
 and it was you that asked me to go 
 the graduated senior home on holiday, in the know,
 those old memories had made you miss your chance;
but it was me with two left feet
 trampling toes on...

Turbulant radient red sky with sheet swirl mashed potato
cloud mush peered lazily through a curious brown
haze of dirty armpit fizz, enlisted somewhere
bewteen a prebeginning solar start dot deposit burst peak
and a futuristic nuclear waste singulsr hand mitten
all in lieu of a sadeyed slowburn glowing tuxedo-still

We are the generation,
born between 1946-1964,
grew up watching shows
like Howdy Doody and
Captain Kangaroo,
Leave it to Beaver,
Hazel, Father Knows Best
and Gidget,
too many to mention but
I'm sure there  all there
on the internet,
grew up listening to rock n roll,
doing the mashed potato
and the Chubby Checker twist,
a lot...

Nancy and Lyle are friends of mine. They had both been widowed. When they married it was very obvious that they were meant to be together. They had a mashed potato bar at their reception. I thought that it was a fun idea.

I went to...

Generally you are like sweet corn soup,
But at times you are hot n sour soup,

Your cheeks are red as cherry tomato,
Your hands are soft as mashed potato,

You are spicy as chicken-fry,
You are sweet as apple-pie,

It seems you are my complete meal,
Which no one can dare...

What ponderous rouge of Titian red, 
Creations juiciest  from an earthen bed. 
From royal king to drunken red head, 
The one fruit you truly never could shred. 
Piquant and sour the need of the hour, 
Without your ketchup?  left partly fed. 
Sometimes, well...

Sandwich Island!...that perfect retreat
Say's "Lay in the sun..you fatty..and eat."
All of your innards..as your only ploy,
Luscious you bid me.."partake and enjoy."

Caught in the middle..like baloney on rye
Making me think all my dreams you'll supply.
Flush you old devil...and all you pretend
You've got your crust dammit..you're not...

I hate you mum
You are so mean
Why do I need to keep so clean?
I don’t need to wash
Can’t you see 
I don’t have time
I’m on the Wii

I hate you mum
Not sausages for tea
Mashed potato and baked beans
I want cake I want chocolate
Jelly and cream
You really...

I can do the mashed potato
oh yeah, baby, I can do the twist
I can even hand jive
so I'll write it out like this
   my hand dances with the pen
   gracefully across the page
   I stop to breathe now and...

Make my heart into a cottage pie.
Already it is minced and lies estranged
My   enemies insult me with their lies
And my last will and testament is made.

An onion and a carrot chopped up fine,
Saute  with these my heart till  all are gold
With...

Ooooh….mmmm….Ooooh….mmmm….
I’m getting fatigued from what seems like endless distress
Listening to people’s complaints and complicated symptoms
They’re always on their cell phones
They’re always on their cell phones
Feeling lonely, but slightly hopeful, joyous and…
And still yearning for God’s golden grace
And still yearning for God’s golden grace
Getting laughed at...

{Up}
I go…
I sleep on
Mashed potato
Clouds, floating about…  
Rest has taken its toll 
As I reach up to haven
Cloud 7 – here I go!!
I am ascending
As I embrace
Nirvana 
Farewell,
Love!
{I}
Have fallen 
Short of time and
I’ve been praying to
The Lord to rescue me…or
I’ll remain in my inner...
