Best Yum Poems
Who said the sun rises in the East?
That's not true in the very least....
The Sun rises and sets in the West
Where does dwell the very best...
My Yum Yum girl
Sweeter than molasses
Shining and brightening my way
Oh, I do bless
The very day
I set my eyes on my Yum Yum Girl
My heart has ever since
Been aswirl...
For my Yum Yum Girl
Tasty love beyond belief
Oh, what a relief...
To recapture
My Yum Yum Girl
My Yum Yum Girl
A smile that beams
Golden hair that gleams
How I love the laugh
Of my Yum Yum Girl
My Yum Yum Girl
Oh, my, oh my,
My Yum Yum Girl.
My Yum Yum Girl.
These are written as song lyrics.
Next the music.
Your T
During the depression if you got an orange in your sock
You could feel blessed and lucky, and it felt like Christmas.
Orange tea and orange cake delight me in all kind of ways but
Marmalade I eat every morning on toast is the sweetest orange of all.
Smeared on my toast, I smile at the bits and pieces of peeling
I know are going to wake up my taste buds and say “hello”.
Orange marmalade jam. Nothing like it. Nothing close to it.
No other taste comes close although
jalapeno peppers give me a perk too.
When all else fails, and we are out of marmalade I
might break down and have mandarin oranges
But they do no justice to a sweet juicy recently peeled orange.
My taste buds are going crazy as I type this.
I will have to stop at the store now.
Bringing home marmalade, oranges, and orange cake mix. Yum. Yum.
YUM MAMA'S SWEET RICE--
Add cream, milk and butter
Boil it on the stovetop
Just the right amount of water and sugar;
Taste just like a desert
Yes! So lovely fine and nice
Yum!! mamasweet rice

under the yum yum tree
with bubble gum leaves
hanging from the banana limb
swaying to and fro against the wind
laughing and giggling
with your ten toes wiggling
and the lemon sun
shines just for fun
lick a strip of peppermint bark
if your tummy ever smarts
from eating candy treats
bequeath by the tree so sweet
under the yum yum tree
napping on lime grass velvety
waking to sip from her honey dew dips
so fruity that the colors stain your lips
smiles are big the games are fun
there's always enough for everyone
under the yum yum tree
a place for the young to be
for if inside you are old and sour
you'll never see her flower
a child's innocence is all you need
to play under the yum yum tree.
Bubblegum is sweet and chewy
Blowing bubbles can get gooey
When it pops inside your hair
Trying to pull it out with care
Doesn't work neither does washing
SO scissors are used for forcing
Out this yummy ooey treat
That every kid loves to eat
Trident and Dentyne caress
Your mouth with a nice freshness
So people aren't scared away
It also helps with tooth decay
Bazooka Joe was really fun
Comics wrapped around the gum
With funny jokes and prize points too
Gifts could be mailed to you
Zebra gum was full of rainbows
Colored bubbles you could blow
Different flavors in each stick
Finding your favorite was the trick
Chicklets are so cute and square
You could take them anywhere
In a box they are protected
The smallest gum that was invented
The best gum came in a pack
Of trading cards you could stack
And trade with all of your friends
Complete collections int eh end
People chew gum everyday
A trend that is here to stay
Being chewed so merrily
A treat that is happi8ly
Part of everybody's world
But please don't be like the girl
Who was acting so stingy
And turned into a blueberry
Saying I love you
Has a more delicious sound
Between kissing lips.
Quickly the hikers rest with a freshly built ----------CAMPFIRE

Soon, fresh smells permeate the woods, something is --------- FRYING

YUM CHA**
Order the way charm comes to stay:
Yield happy choice here as you find;
Use what you sum in pulse that pays;
Mind steady poise, note sumptuous signs.
Claim a sweet spot ending with joy;
Heed what you need so true worth styles;
Ask and allot, enjoy fond ploys;
Explore fine feed to frame a smile;
eXplain the mood, appease the taste;
Proof shows true form, keep tasty treats;
Rise to warm goods, eat not in haste;
Enjoy each norm of all things sweet;
Succinct and grand, urge feasts fine fare;
Special food trends tabled with flair.

Striped with yellow,orange and white
This sugary treat is such delight
Chomp it down with so much pleasure
As candy goes it is a treasure
A sure sign that it's Halloween
In all the stores it can be seen
So get your costume primed and ready
The days are winding down so steady
Soon is coming that fun night
When haunted houses are a fright
Moms and dads give candy corn
To kids with awesome costumes worn

Mountain oysters so tasty until
You get knowledge from mean cousin Bill.
But before I found out
Gave them enormous shout
I hate to admit I ate my fill!
Yum! Chicken
There was an old man a long time ago
He starved all the way to El Dorado.
Then, he bought a few chickens.
They were so finger lickin’
He happily laughed ‘til he started to crow!

Preparing stuffed artichokes
My mom's recipe
Breadcrumbs, garlic, salami
Stuff (ALL) the leaves
Steam them on low heat
Three-four hours
Eat!
Eggs rolls with plum sauce are a glorious treat
Breakfast, lunch or dinner, they can't be beat
Gobble 'em down
World renowned
Ain't nobody prefers 'em more than this parakeet
I ate roaches for breakfast. Chocolate covered.
He studies my eyes, hoping for a reaction, or a bit of squeamishness.
I say yum yum and lick my lips.
They were not quite cooked, he informs me.
They kept running away from the plate.
The two with their legs out.
I smile and nod encouragingly.
Sounds great! I say.
I washed them down with ketchup milk, he says.
YUMMY! I yelp emphatically.
His story is coming a bit more slowly now.
I ate stuffed spiders for dessert. They were tasty!
They sound delicious, I allow.
But how did you get their mouths open to stuff them?
I did not stuff them THERE, he says, hoping my eyes will widen.
I cannot stop laughing and neither can he.
