Perhaps, we will go out. Grandma will get
A break from making breakfast?
Not! But the kid likes Grandma’s hot
Cakes,
And I love this
Kid, in a syrupy kind of way.
Egads, I better get cooking, butter in the pan;
Deadly, this-kid-is-hungry-looks.

The soup has a shortage of ads
Let’s call for more saying egads!
While they interfere
With the reason we’re here
We'll learn about doodads and fads

Egads! It’s a hot afternoon ~~
100 degrees in the shade
Ice cream,
Ice cream,
Ice cream!
I NEED ICE CREAM!!!!
Cup, dish, or cone?
Cone. Plain or rippled
Plain.
What flavor?
Strawberry.
Fresh or frozen?
Huh?
JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN ICE CREAM!!!!!
Stick out your tongue, Sir!

Moshe, Larry, Curly,
Howls, cries, nyuks;
Three silly comic stars:
Smile, clown -- Cluck!
Chico, Harpo, Benny, Berle,
Moron grins, happy chins;
Crazy nutty comic kooks:
Funny jokes -- egads zooks!
Alvin Ailey, dance gaily,
False teeth: Brush daily;
Silly Sally, Dilly-dally,
Ollie, Holly, Mollie!
Belly flops, fatal plops,
Messy slops, lemon drops;
Harry Caray, Tooth Fairy,
Music Maven -- Chuck Berry.
Pitty-patty, kitty-katty,
Ticky-tacky, Cinci-nnati
Polly-Wolly, Wooly Bully,
Diffy-daffy, Laughy Taffy!

“Egads and little fishes”
Reminds me of my dear old mum
Covering her head uttering this phrase
Thunder made her come undone
Terrified by each electrical storm
Dear mum would nearly passed out
With thunder, lightning, and pelting rain
She'd cower in a corner throughout
Really felt bad, she was truly scared
Tried hard not to laugh at the sight
Of mum with her apron over her head
Praying hard with all of her might
Things that happen during childhood days
Stay with us as by us life swishes
I'll always remember mum's little saying
“Egads and little fishes”

Is Oil tasty?
The filthy crude;
what is the allure?
It isn't food.
Yet here I stand be-trodden;
astonished at what I see,
everyone is eating Oil;
how can this be? How can this be?
They put it on their toast,
they put it in their cheese,
they slurp it whole-
and with such ease.
The thought makes me recoil;
people are eating OIl;
It's in every mouth,
in every belly,
chased down with petroleum jelly;
egads it's sick-(ick).
This cannot be healthy;
It cannot be sane,
who in their right mind would do this?
Do I shout in vain?
The madness cannot last;
it simply can't go on,
It's just a phase, it'll pass
I'll try to regain my calm.
EEP!!!!
Headline(Front page)
Oil too popular-
Food is obsolete.
Oil is now the official food of earth;
starvation...what a treat.

That steamy summer day
At age fourteen and three months
I stood awaiting the kiss
Of the tall, dark, handsome hunk
My stomach was in knots
As terror snaked up my throat
Would he think it was okay?
Would he, with flowery words, emote?
His luscious lips descended
As I closed unbelieving eyes
A thrill rushed through my body
I was weak from feet to thighs
Then, suddenly, his tongue
Darted out and squished around
In a sloppy and slathering mess
My feet never left the ground
When the “kiss” was over
I couldn’t look at him the same
He was a dog; no longer a boy
And, now, I don’t recall his name
Inspired by John Heck's contest, "Egads, My First Kiss?"
