Flackmoth wishes science could eliminate
the foul gas certain edibles create,
notably cabbage and baked beans
and when released cause vivid scenes
of embarrassment to the offending ilk
who do their best to conceal their guilt –
at packed church suppers especially
when neighborly conviviality
and best behavior proximity
often suffer most, and a stampede
for fresh air becomes everyone’s need
and the perfect face-saving opportunity
to release any residue with anonymity.

Imagine there's no cupcake
Someone in the house ate yours
No Krispy Kremes or KitKats
No pudding pops or s'mores
Imagine there's no halva
Behind cupboard doors, oo hoo oo.

Gummy gummy gummy bear!
Dropped you down my underwear!
Sticky sticky gummy bear!

Our Animal Edibles
We have baby chicks in our yard
The seed we buy we keep the same
We always buy the kind that's "cheap"
Because they ask for it by name!
Our dog loves sweet potatoes
And avocados are her style
But we make sure she don't get much
Or on the floor she'll leave a pile!
Our cat eats parts of mice and moles
But there's no need for us to check
We know all the parts that are left
Because he puts them on our deck!
We always keep Pixie our puppy
On a leash and well into view
We don't want her to run away
Or she might end up edible too!

"They call us the edibles," said a cookie to me,
Whose eyes were chocolates and chips,
"Your mom shaped us into people, as you see,
And now sound comes from our liquorice lips!"
"Yeah, and it seems my lips are liquor-ish as well,"
I said to myself and not to the dessert,
Whom I tossed up and when he into my mouth fell,
Began screaming, "Is this what I deserve?!"
I quickly pulled him out of my mouth and when,
Asked why and how he had just spake,
He responded to that right there and then,
"Because like you, we had just got baked."
