I have a brand of English muffin that I really like.
How is it English, is this the language he speaks?
This type of muffin comes circular,
But I beg to differ, rectangular would be better.
The circle fights with my toaster.
At time’s it’s become a dangerous battle.
I have to intervene and unplug the machine
Making her unfairly cool down.
I understand both sides.
But if you ask me, I agree with her more.
If the muffin would just comply,
And be rectangular.
Things would be easier on both sides!
(Said the spider to the fly).
But the truth be told, unfortunately today,
This is exactly the attitude.
Everybody shut up
And do it my way!
Maybe, in the future,
I should buy my muffins
From Canada
And maybe my bacon too.
But will they speak French?
Then the miscommunication possibilities wide open.
Spread it on toast,
slather it on an English muffin.
Use it in your milkshake,
to make a smoothie,
top off a sundae or
crown a banana split.
Drop a dollop on a cracker
and plop it in your mouth.
Put it on a plate,
mixed with tiny chunks
of real creamery butter,
then spoon onto a
piping hot biscuit.
Rich, dark, tantalizing . . .
one of life's sweet joys,
Huckleberry Jam.
Before the big meal begins
Sauté green onion
With fresh crab, salt and pepper
English muffin base
Top with Swiss cheese
Oven melt
Wow!
Simple
Death is complicated
life is simple
it's grape jelly on an english muffin
for those who like the taste
it's a slimey fish
that quickly slipped away
it's learning a second chord
I believe mine was in the key of A
the smell of an open fire
on a cool late autum day
it's the blue sky with a cloud
passing summer shade
and the earth her lawyers and the evidence
will surley fade away
but the truth of the Lord will endure
and will be told by those with faith
to those who live far far away
for his glory shall never end
and life will make another place
through out all eternity
to every galaxie in space
and those who rise against him
will disapear
burned up and counted amungst the waste
