HEAVY TUMBLING STORY

Before forbidden words
dawn to confess
Come... Come.. C O M E...
Uncoil your taste-buds to me
Entrust you health fully to thee

Yours truly,
FOOD

Enamored beyond possible reproach
I opened my mouth for crumbs of tasty
Crumbs later become spoonfuls
Spoonfuls turned to one, two, three plateful

Appetite feast in crescendo of...

The poor man on the street
With threadbare dress and blistered feet 
'Tis his slogan, he howls,
"I feel hungry, my stomach growls."

The rich man sits to eat
With silken dress and stockinged feet
Tells after his plateful,
"I'm not hungry, my stomach's full."

The poor man sits and begs
For some...

Not a day goes by I don't think of you
you have permeated my fortress and walk freely in all its rooms
(examining it's furnishings)
how did I allow you entry without the
usual search scan and seizure ?
I'ts like a foreign substance and all
my antibodies are seeking to...

She mastered a bastard custard 
His husband was a bit flustered
He invited friends 
And forgot his lens 
He saw a plateful of mustard...

Aunty Betty ate spaghetti 
Every chance she got
For every plateful
Very grateful, she
Would scoff the bloomin’ lot

Aunty Betty ate spaghetti
Several times a day
With every course
A different sauce, and
That’s just how it would stay

Aunty Betty ate spaghetti
Far too much it seems
The urge so strong
It didn’t take long,...

I don't ask for a bed of clouds
My Lord! I don't want respect
I want my home in your poly-form earth
I'm interested to work for those
who work for themselves
I may not be a poet,
Can't write love and fun,
Strong lines with heavy words
I'm happy to be a...

Don’t worry about being thinner
Get yourself off down the pub
Then go home to a good British dinner,
Of British traditional grub

Delicious roast beef of old England
Served up with a thick Yorkshire pud
With roast spuds and cabbage and carrots
Plus gravy in which the spoon stood

What’s wrong with...

Newspaper is for kids to play with and have fun or experiment something new,
Paper folding is something one learns using these scraps only---right?

Newspaper is to clean the glass, the cheapest means ever,
Just sprinkle a few drops and wipe off, no chemical works that good---right?

Newspaper is...

Chinese Dave is not Chinese, he just likes Chinese food,
He’ll eat it till his tummy bursts whene’er he’s in the mood.
He scoffs Chow Mein and Egg Foo Yung and Fried Rice by the plateful,
And then his botty burps. Oh dear! Stand back! You will be...

Love, Italian style
is a heaping plateful of spaghetti, 
hot and steamy....

specified such so as to issue a rhyme,

Tryst with Darkness

Poignant I move out daily 
With a hope for a superior tomorrow 
Coz all this is just a ‘yes sir’ affair
And that I think I am not ready for it yet
Between the two days comes a plateful night 
Which understands the snarl in...

A sound of orient 
-
He looks like a fragranced oasis in this city; 
a lean, yet muscular man in a dhoti, 
sweaty; playing flute, a plateful of bland food 
in front of him, his humble surrounding, the hut.
A village man, who has once come in...
