Best Starches Poems


The Day Mama Cried
Another day is almost past;
How fast they go and speed away,
Twilight rolls over sunset’s gold,
Like tidal waves keep beaches at bay.

Memories remembered, no new ones made,
As TV and book on a Lazy Boy left,
Caring children are paying the price,
For Mama’s comfort, though she’s bereft.

Smiling starches...

Premium Member He Likes Ugly Girls
Baby, I saw you wishin' on him,
But you ought to give me a whirl;
'Cuz he's a handsome hunk,
But when he gets drunk
Baby, he likes ugly girls.

Yeah, he still lives with his momma,
Even tho' he's thirty-three.
She starches and irons his jeans and shirts 
And he brings...

"foods We All Love To Eat!!!"
Foods we all love to eat
Pastas,starches,and meat
And don't forget about something sweet
Pineapple,chocolate,and cocoa nut cakes
Some of our favorites that Mom bakes
Apple pie, peach cobbler, and sweet potatoe pies a few other she makes
Especially on a holiday
But we wish she'll do this everyday
Home made macaroni and...

Premium Member 'protest Arches'
Don't know who designed the Golden Arches
With way too many sugars and starches:
  Some say the fare's quite good,
  Others think it's junk food--
Yet no protest or funeral marches!...

Mcdonald's
But soft! What light breaks through windshield yonder?
It is Mickey D’s.
Shall I stop, I ponder,
or shall not stopping be my destiny?

Those bronzed french fries,
full of transfat.
Their business will die,
if they get rid of that.

Oh! Those golden arches 
signify my next meal.
So what do I care...

Enjoy Life
My doctor told me,
He could add ten years to my life,
If I followed his instructions,  
And stayed away from strife.

He put me on a diet,
I needed to lose weight.
No more sweets or starches,
And write down everything I ate.

Start exercising each day,
Charting the hour of...

May I taste the unbreakable bond to the perfect union of 
Uni and quail eggs.Two true dancers
Stir vigorously
Agitate rice while it absorbs fish stock

May I never acknowledge obstacles to the perfect union of
Uni and sake.Two adventurers
Interlock freely
Fine-tuning Español while rice grains formulating starches

Inevitable extrovert –...

As I Recall
In my pursuit to find a mate.
I asked this sweet girl on a date.
She turned and smiled and politely said.
Did you expect me to say drop dead?

So I replied, you never know.
So whatta ya say, you wanna go?
She acquiesced, you seem alright.
I am free on...

The Starchtarian
probably had their heart set on
consuming only greens,
probably thought that’d they’d
shed the pound, might’ve been a
resolution for the new year,
might’ve been a sudden love of
animals that led them to getting rid
of anything that hung in their
wardrobe,
that they washed their heads with,
rubbed all over their body...

Captain Tom Moore
The mighty centenarian marches
slowly uphill across the level ground
through viscous air, stiffened by time’s starches,
fighting a viral foe this time around
allied with the Hippocratic Oath bound.
A metallic steed shod with rubber wheels
bears his regal frame. His campaign reveals
greater power than any sword or spear.
He raised...

Blank Slate 5-7-03
So she made a few mistakes
She didn’t even mean to make them
Now she might as well not try
To put on her happy face
Because no one cares if she starts to cry.


She’s apologized and begged forgiveness 
But no one listens ‘cause they don’t believe in second...

Happy Meal
Good or bad, I got somethin' you're gonna feel.
No tellin' what surprise is in yo' happy meal.
Got news for Atkins, phatty verbal starches.
Like pale paisley people prayin' to golden arches,
Or secret house-speak token spoken word
Smokin' understood, ain't doin', ya know good.

But, Ya bought tickets to...

Admirable New World An Irony
We came from

modernity for

we found that

colonies where everything

happens equal to

infected by

promiscuous contacts:

touches,

Practices since

in modernity...

these practices

are animal

atavistic fruit

addictions...

copulation and

Premium Member Soldiers Being Called Home
Unreasonably straight the soldier marches
Hiding his human in unanimous starches.
Intimidation arriving on his straight lined face.
A new recruit falls in line, keeping the pace.

Soon there are seven, none with smile found.
As others fall, they join the heavenly bound.
Loud angry artillery fire all around.
It is a...
