A Moral Question

A moral question, 
How do you know hunger? 

Some people don't know  about 
these terrible  words in their lives: 
A) Hunger,
B) Sorrow,
C) Problems,
D) Tears,
E)  Pain,

If you meet with a  person who 
Did not experience one of those words 
In his " her" life, 
Don't bowl over.

Some people were  born 
And  grew up in bourgeoisie, 
They don't have emotions, 
They don't real know the real 
   Meaning of
     Suffering.

Some people seem bamboozled
Because of living luxury life, 
Sleeping on golds and 
              diamonds
And others are real stumped
by poverty stricken 
not having  a cent in 
their pouches,
Bloody life, 
Living like hell. 

A blind can not see the street, 
But he "she" can see hunger,  
And scream loudly,
"I feel  hungry, 
My belly vibrating awfully, 
   Trembilling so dreadfully,  
   So hungry " 

" Anger always follows hunger"
Don't ever laugh at a person 
who is starving, 
As you can not put up with the 
heavy vibration of hunger.

Hatred Growing

hatred growing
hands tied together 
with the strings of change
helplessness grows from 
within the trapped 
caged need to 
be in control 
lack of control
has caused negative 
emotions to bowl over 
creating an overflowing
flood of responses that 
to have been dealt with
long ago

Dr Phil's Answering Machine

Hello Dr. Phil, have you got a segment
I've got a few things latched onto my mind
Don't worry this won't take but a second
If you do me this I'll return the favor in kind

Hello Dr. Phil, it's about my mother
Well really both her and my mother in-law
If you care to throw my wife into the picture
That wouldn't be far off at all

Hello Dr. Phil, have you run into this problem
Or am I a first and is there a cure
Call me right back Doc, I think I can take it
Can you tell me how much longer I've got in this world

Hello Dr. Phil, you might recognize me
I've been to see Oz and those Dr's on Channel 4
Though they canceled my moment said I was clingly and needy
Hello Dr. Phil, can I be a friend of yours

Hello Dr. Phil, have I mentioned the aliens
Do you do abductions, is that your forte
Cause if you do I can get you more ratings
We'll bowl over Maury he'll have nothing to say

Hello Dr. Phil, I keep calling and calling
The heavy breathing? Yea, could be me on the line
But if you would answer neither of us would stress out
We could solve both our problems if you'd just give me the time

Premium Member Zabaglione Zyx

Zabaglione is an Italian dessert
You will savour every spoonful
Xanthic in colour a delightful creamy yellow
Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a bowl over barely simmering water until
Velvety in texture 
Use an electric whisk it – it could take up to 15 minutes
Take three tablespoons of Prosecco wine and pour this into the mixture
Save the rest to drink later!!!!
Resume whisking until it’s soft and fluffy
Quickly remove the bowl from over the hot water and
Place it in a bowl of cold water or on a cold surface
Oh no – time for more whisking until its cool
Now you need to whisk the whipping cream
My goodness this is hard work - but it is worth the effort
Lightly fold the cream into the egg mixture, hopefully the
Kitchen doesn’t look like a bombsite – phew!
Just a couple more steps to do and then 
Italian Zabaglione will be tickling your taste buds
Have two tall glasses ready
Gently pour the dessert into them
Fill them right to the top of the glass
Every spoonful will be delicious
Decorate your dessert
Chocolate shavings can be added as a garnish 
Bon Appetite!
All you need to do now is wash the dishes
