And The Cat Crept In
Motion-activated caught on camera
while cookies for the kids I was cooking
a collared cat crept into the kitchen
when I stepped outside and wasn't looking
his potty break was well-timed
as, sadly, I'd left the door unlocked
onto the counter by the sink he climbed
bared his butt and crapped in the crock
tho' he gave new meaning
to vanilla chocolate chip
if I...

beside me as I am sighting

aromatic bud
enters flower and just sucks
the tasty nectar

Not so Glorious French CuisineThe Not so Glorious French Cuisine
The French are fond of foods most Americans
would freak out on, and they’re not bargains.
Let’s start with the least freakish: rabbit (lapin) –
farm raised and bathed in a Dijon mustard sauce –
like chicken say those who’ve tried it.
Quail and pigeon (caille and pigeon) wont kill
your appetite...

How Now Slough
Although
it’s a hard row to hoe
a rough furrow to harrow
and a tough trench to plough
there’s many a meadow to mow
I hereby avow
and tho' it may be news to you
farmers have the need
to sow their seeds
where milkmaids milk the cows
swineherds feed their sows
and shepherds have their pie
and eat it too
in Slough now

LA GORDITA SERRANOEstos son los cuentos
Que se abarca por los vientos
De La Gordita Serrano
En una noche de Verano!
Que día de aventura
Te lo contaré sin añadidura!
El cuento de su boda será la que perdura
Como Tampiqueña de estatura!
Ay, como lo siento
Por La Gordita La De Serrano
Pero NO por su esposo El Guanaco Poblano
El Cuento es un bocadillo
Que pica...

Snacks
The road trips are for snacks.
That fire playlist to chew on,
a bag of Smartfood to munch on,
some Sparkling Ice to sip on,
then baby we’re gone!
Chunky sub sandwich for lunch,
you probably had a hunch.
I eat them toasted a bunch,
I’m addicted to that crunch!
This bag of almonds I chose,
tasty enough to inspire prose.
So delicious I’d...

Sunbathing and having such fun
But it got so hot
His nib-lets were shot -
Popping off the flies, when done...

Waiting at the bus stopa bobble hat fellow rumbles along
sharp turns behind me - hello -
but reaches up to the wall
grabs an apple 80 percent intact
and hobbles away again
a few seconds later he's back again
turns behind me, bends low
and picks up the soggy, abandoned
box of donuts
two inside remaining
successful mission
he wobbles away...

I starve myselfI starve myself.
When saying it out loud it sounds surreal,
But it’s the only way I can feel.
I am not worthy of food.
It is not worth the weight.
Fore I see myself by what I have ate.
Starving is like slowing dying.
Numb, and invisible to what others can see.
Funny how food could be the death of me.
I...

Where Have All the Donuts Gone?Apologies to Pete Seeger
Where have all the donuts gone?
They are asking.
Where have all the donuts gone?
Nobody knows.
Where have all the donuts gone?
I ate them - every one.
I hope they never learn.
I hope they never learn....

Look I Am Popping Away
I love when we sit in the hot bright sun,
add some butter or we will get well done.
Sky and water of ice blue,
better than the dull store view.
Oh! look I am popping so I will run....
