Alive, Alive Oh!
The best thing about waking up
is not the coffee in our cup
warming the cockles
I'd impart
from the bottom of our heart
it's knowing we survived
to see another day arrived
no matter what may come our way
as being late
when we're done and gone
is far too harsh to contemplate
so smell the flavour
savour the roast
and of our time here on earth

Size Matters
When I think of food and drink,
it's no surprise
the question does arise,
with booze some choose to let it breathe
and defer their bottle of wine,
I prefer to savour the flavour
and give mouth to mouth to mine.
(Que Syrah, Syrah!)
Some say, “The glass is half full,”
with accent on the positive,
some see the glass half empty,
and focus on the

Knickerbocker-Glorious
It's the greatest ice-cream in the land,
the Knickerbocker Glory is regal and grand.
all the other ones are inferior and bland,
It's the Knickerbocker i'll devour with spoon in hand.
You can have your rum & raisin, vanilla or mint with choc-chips,
the Knickerbocker Glory is the only one to pass my lips.
Forget your strawberry, chocolate, served with flakes,

Chime
We love those church bells,
do we not? Such chimes, such rings!
Are you a churchy type?
Or, like me, are you not?
Those bells we hear here
do have a rather angelic sound
(though, as we know, there are no angels).
But what a voice they have, those bells.
You don't do church, then -
like me and so many others?
But almost supersonic,

Taste and Flavour
Where is the flavour,
That we used to savour,
Many years ago
Ripe, juicy peaches,
Apricots and plums
That made flavourful preserves
They were made by many mums.
Gooseberries and Raspberries,
Black and redcurrants too
Succulent, Apples, Pears and oranges
To name just a few
Make sure you have a handkerchief,
To mop up the dribble from your chin,
Nearly every home grew fruit trees
Not to would

A Cup of Coffee Please
A cup of coffee please
Cappuccino
Latte
Unknown
What's the additions
Coffee O, no addition
With creamer
With milk
With sugar
With Milo
What's the difference
Plain bitter
Less sweet
Sweet
Mixed
And what will you ask for life
Sweet, sweetest, never bitter of course
You can prepare your own coffee
To your flavours
With a coffee maker maybe
All the ways to please yourself
But life is different
You only enjoy a cup of coffee
During

Darling
The Unending Love
Let me love you once again
You are the reason I shy
You are the reason I cry
Let me love you once again
Darling you are my sweet crush
You are my teeth & brush
How can I eat without you?
You are my appetite & diet
You are my goldberg my sight
Nothing is more sweeter than you
Bitter salty metallic

What Flavour Cookie Are You
Hey babe, what flavour cookie are you?
Chocolate chip, sugar or raisin to name a few
I'd guess sugar
Sweet and demure
What a charmer but that I already knew

Flavour of the Month
As competitions are high, and the finishing times are nigh
If not in the top five winners, or mentioned, left, with why
Thoughts plundered, rearranged, wrote between the lines
Written over cups of coffee, tea, or that bottle of red wine
Past thoughts, wild imagination to grab the readers minds
Before retiring off to bed as the pulling down of

Coconut So Full of Flavour
The ice cream shop has many favours
originate in Italy as Gelato it's named
many Italians took it across the world
now on our fat, it's to be blames
My personal favourite is hard to find
so many shops just don't have it
only a select few keep it in stock
but I keep looking never will quit
Pure beautiful delightful so divine

The Flavour of Spring
Winter is gone now;
Small buds in Earth's womb,
With their red, blue heads,
Proclaim she's pregnant
After a long time.
Mating with sky,
And April rain,
She derives joy
In giving birth.
Fertile smell,
Sweet and mild
Pervades me.
Eyes touch
New leaves,
Dozed.
