Best Yummy Poems
In a verdant valley shrouded with mist
there's a bakery no nose can resist
Izzy Lum's plum pies and cherry cream cakes
Taste scrumptious, like all the treats that he bakes
If you follow your nose up I-16
Trees tower and spread, no need for sunscreen
Italian buns and sweet Scottish toffee
Taste so yummy with your Dutch mint coffee
I assure you, from my ninety-nine trips
That Izzy's lime fudge will pucker your lips
Incidentally, what else you will find true
This aroma-blessed town has a great view
Inhale fresh air on the smooth, pristine lakes
Take a lovely stroll as you munch on cakes
Itineraries and trips come and go
Try venturing high and venturing low
Interest and joy of tours and camping
Too often leave you spent, bored and napping
I-16 is the road to elation
To your delicious, fine dream vacation

Hey Gorgeous Being
You deserve to breathe easy
You deserve amazing food
You deserve love
What is Below, is Above
You deserve heaven
Bread that's leavened
Butter, Love, Honey, Fruits
Shade - only from trees
With deep roots
You deserve a Groot
A nice sharp suit!
Warm, Yummy soup
An awesome pair of Boots!
You deserve Gold
Agriculture... Flowers, vegetables fresh from the ground,
Fruits off the vine,
Geometry in language,
528Hz, 888 Hz...
You deserve Love
Pure as your heart
My Gorgeous Being...
And you will get what you deserve
Today was an absolutely fantastic day
So now I guess you know why I say
Life is full of zest
That's why I'm blessed
Can't get enough of life's yummy soufflé
Potato chip, I love you up,
my darling little buttercup.
A cup! A Reese’s chocolate one
with peanut butter. Oh, what fun!
What fun is time with nacho chips;
delightful cheese to tease my lips.
My lips around a hamburger,
with onion rings my heart to stir.
Stir the chili in the pot.
Add Tabasco; cook it hot.
Hot, that snack I love so well,
is buttered popcorn that I smell.
Smell the pasta fantasy-
sauce and parmesan for me.
Me and cheesecake, cherries atop.
Once I start, I cannot stop.
Stop for ice cream; what I wish-
a sundae sitting in a dish.
Dish me up some southern fried
with mashed potatoes on the side.
A side of bacon, crispy fat.
I see nothing wrong in that!
That’s a spicy hot tamale.
Enchiladas make me jolly.
Jolly Christmas; candies sweet,
turkey, ham; so much to eat.
Eat a pizza. It’s the best.
Now I’ve gotta take a rest.
If
By Byron Juno
If women MUST die
Then Atieno would die first
If children were to forage
Then Atieno's would forage forever
If women were to walk necked
Then Atieno's would walk throughout the year
If women were to trade their honeypot
Then Atieno's would donate hers
If women were after money not
Then Atieno would be not
If women were to sell their daughters
Then Atieno would sell to a merchant
The woman from the far away land
The woman with less embarrassments
The woman The woman The woman
Whose legs are loose for a walk
Whose waist never tire
Whose joints are ever green
Whose body children is yummy!
Whose body children say is tender
Whose body children say is fresh
Whose lips has tasted all drinks
Whose eyes have not only seen death
Whose back has sweated on all beds
Whose legs have wiped all door mats
Whose scent even cactus knows
Whose farms lie fallow
Atieno the generous woman
Generous woman who never says NO
Who will guide our young girls?
Who will show our girls the right way?
But she says;
Her husband is jobless
Her husband is ever seated
Her husband is ever sleeping
He wants first born treatments
Atieno! Will you not be buried
On the right side of your husband's house?
Will your husband not be the first
To throw black soil in your grave?
Will your husband not say
you were a good woman?
Will your husband not allow mourners
In his compound?

Campbell’s Soup
Is a favorite of mine.
As a child, I enjoyed this
time after time.
Bowl after bowl was
delicious to taste.
Hardly any of it ever went
to waste (or my waist).
And then when I grew up
(Well, thought that I was)
I moved on to Progresso.
It is healthy good fun.
Now Swanson Chicken Broth
Is a favorite of mine.
It is so tasty
time after time.
Livens up mashed potatoes
to invigorate the tongue.
All that is experienced is
a whole lot of yum!
But the soup most pleasing
is the “soup” I found on this site.
It is healthy, and yummy
and always ”tastes right.”
It feeds so many and
The soup never runs out.
I “eat” every word with
my poetry “mouth.”
No matter what “real” soup
I eat day by day,
Poetrysoup’s thought-soup
is the one that I crave!
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
Once there was a potato chip
Curled gracefully in a "U"
Glistening with salt particles
Just waiting for a chew
Can you take and eat just one?
I don't believe you can
You'd have to eat the biggest chip
That fits in the slender can
Noooo, keep them neat, and when complete
Lick each side of your thumb
The can is empty 'cause you see
You've eaten every crumb
A Yummy Sundae Afternoon
My tongue anticipates ice cream sundae
But do never indulge on a Monday
For that's the day the diet starts afore
Tuesday when diets fly out through the door.
I drool o'er yummy ice cream on my tongue
Thoughts of the tasty dish makes me so long
For strawberries served at afternoon tea
In a gooey knickerbocker glory.
With chopped nuts sprinkled and strawberry sauce
Those ice cream sundaes could win an award
With me they would be scored top of the pops
I am an expert as I devour lots.
Summer parties do well serving ice cream
Strawberries and chilled wine, truly a dream
With music, dancing, a natter and fun
Bringing magic moments beneath the sun.
Betwixt lucky lips my eager tongue licks
A mouth watering afternoon dish fix.

Trying to write sillies but love words keep popping
My brain's turned to mush, my love is non stopping
Life is a blast
What more could I ask
Than to feel this love, it's like a yummy sundae topping

I am ready, big day today, my first meal,
And what I smell to my taste does appeal,
You have both been so busy preparing,
Love the deal that the three of us sharing.
Oh, it looks exciting, 3 bowls I see,
Never underestimate me,
Which one shall we try mummy
The orange one looks so yummy,
I’m in my chair, and wearing my bib,
Daddy you have my best pose, hip hip
Hurray, do I hold the spoon,
Or is it still a little too soon.
Hey dad not the aeroplane trick,
That was your era – hic, hic, hic,
I have hiccups, please take the video later,
Dirtied my bib, thanks mom, that’s better.
First taste, first dish, mm, tastes good I’m glad,
Could I have another, oh that tipped a tad,
Looked away, sorry guys, now a third,
Slowly please, I nearly chocked.
I keep cleaning my mouth with my bib,
No more thank you, see my lips,
They are closed tight, and my eyes.
Say don’t proceed past go,
No more, I also have rights you know.
Thank you from the depths of my heart,
You are both the greatest mom and dad,
Can we go hiking tomorrow, love been
Strapped on dads back and mom
Takings shots of every scene.
I think I would like to remain anonymous,
And so my stories will stay unique, never with
Anyone else’s synonymous.
This way no hearts will ever be broken or stolen,
The stork till I know better, had you well chosen.
Dedicated to my 5 month old grand-daughter.
I love peanut butter, my favorite spread
Everyone likes it with jelly on bread
When I was a kid, Mom made a treat
Peanut buttered bananas can’t be beat
Eat warm peanut butter cookies - non-stop
They all had cross marks from a fork on top
Peanut butter on crackers with some honey
Fun to eat and it’s good for the tummy
Peanut butter is also in candy
Reese’s Pieces and Buckeyes are dandy
The thought of this dish may give you fit
Peanut butter on onions, I like it!
Republic Day Republic Day
We can celebrate all day
Watch the parade with pride and have a nice time
See the hoisting of the flag from far and wide
Everything is closed so stay at home
Even though you want to go
Salute the Flag from the get go
Dress up in the colours of the flag
Have yummy food but don't brag!
Yummy Lasagna
Sweet Italian sausage kissed by lean ground beef.
Crushed onions and garlic browned in olive oil.
Seasoned by thyme, oregano, and fresh basil leaf.
Parsley, pepper, and sugar shimmers this lasagna treat.
Salt, tomato paste, fresh crushed tomatoes, and sauce,
Simmered all together upon the burning heat.
Luscious layered juices, seasonings, cheeses, and meat,
The sauce on the bottom, then, noodles, ricottas…repeat.
The festivity of flavors between and underneath,
Mozzarella cheese and parsley delights this tummy, treats.
Imbibe the blend of flavors on Deliciousness Street.
Yummy, gooey, and oozing my favorite lasagna feast.
losing two front teeth made Ashwin sad
eating Christmas cookies hard - feels mad!
no chocolate, no game cards
two teeth back - that's all he wants,
more treats on his plate - big brother glad!
