Crispy, Cracklin, Crazy
Written By: D. Collins 2/1/25
Like thick sliced bacon straight from the air fryer.
Today my daughter is Queen of her empire.
Her subjects will do whatever she wants done.
And on her birthday served with total Cart Blanche.
Like the crispy, fried bacon left on our tongue.
She's a woman that stands second to none.
Yeah, a father is biased

The crispy crusty bread
The crispy crusty bread
Was as lonely as it gets
As handsome as he was
He had no bride to wed
The crispy crusty bread
He tries all that he can
But to woo a bride he can't
Except the rickety stickety jam
The crispy crusty bread
At last, at noon he said
By this time tomorrow
Bride or death, I'll have instead
The crispy crusty bread
At

Crispy Critters
Oh where oh where,
Are the Tortoise and Hare?
They're not over here,
And they're not over there.
One of them was fast,
The other was slow.
You'd spy one another,
Wherever you'd go.
Walking in the woods,
Following their tracks.
Catching one with a snare.
Flipping others on their backs.
They used to hide,
Under Weeping Willows.
Now all you see,
Are dead Armadillos.
I used to dodge them,
On long

Crispy Skinned Cossages
Oh to crispy skinned Cossages
those tasty morsels of the mind
may imagining their delicate flavours
help your busy days unwind
do they taste like asparagus
or is it peach
do they smell like running socks
or is it leech
To crispy skinned Cossages
those rocket ships of the mind
that can fly you away to near or far
wherever you’re so inclined
you could go to

Crispy Fritters
Crispy Fritters
bakers do it in the oven
only when the heats up
and only then,
do they loving
dough boy expands
his business
pushing it's limits
arriving on time
more dough is rolled
on sheets of white
the heat rises
crispy fritters moaning
time marches on
in heated battle
from top
to bottom
the oven opens
some steam releases
exudes a golden glow
crispy fritters purring
a box of sweets
his treat
together,
... baker's labor

Crispy Leaves of Autumn
Crispy leaves of Autumn
as autumn sheathes in
red and gold of senescence
leaves do the talking...

A Crispy Voice
Relaxing in the tub,
As quiet as can be,
The candles lit,
And a soft sound of you breathing,
Eyes closed,
Lights dimmed down,
Next thing you hear,
Is a crispy voice sound,
Sitting in the tub,
As you holler "whose here"?
Still no sound,
But it is getting near,
You stand up,
Reaching for the towel,
You walk to the light switch,
And their's no power,
You start shaking,
Getting a

Bubble Test Pedagogy and the Crispy Critters
The new pedagogy, such sweet success!
Brittle crispy teacup children abound.
Wan eyes fused to the screen, don’t look around.
Take me to my safe space, just too much stress.
Who will fix what’s broken? They don’t know how.
Fighting for their freedom? Don’t understand.
It's someone else’s job to repair this land.
Polished Brooks Brothers tyrant, take a bow.
Education, once to

CRISPY CRITTERS
Their whiskers singed,
the dogs unhinged,
the horses flee,
and goats run free.
The deer stag leap,
from flames that keep,
and creatures scream,
as their flesh steam.
Their eyes do melt,
with sore and welt,
all lost their home,
and forced to roam.
They seek their owners,
by now, all loaners,
more lost than found,
for miles around.
Their lungs breath smoke,
inhaled, they choke,
no water,

Crispy Emotions
My mood seems of late like
swirling leaves on the ground,
caught up in occasional updraft,
if only for a few feet,
then fall back to ground.
Leaves are expressionless,
hiding their true feelings and thoughts,
swirling wherever gusts take them,
and crunch under foot.
