F lavors like chocolate caramel and more
U nder a spell when my tongue explores
D elicious sweet treat with nuts or not
G oing to enjoy fudge cool or hot
E ating just a little hits the spot
When at time corrections pain
Great love gets you off chain
So never cloud reasoning to fate
Actions fuse hard works to create
It seems a set up that would drain
And ends up a formulation of design
That own the power to chase
The egos to deny your praise in grace
I now type with only a finger
For neuropathy makes me lame
Muscle spasms in hands linger
My hands seem to ignore my brain
It’s as if I never was a typist
Who flew 65 words a minute
Now I’m limited my gripe is
Takes me longer to finish
You’d think I’d complain I’m not vain
My other deficiencies are worse
But who wants an artist who can’t paint
Or a poet too hurt to word verse
I know my lupus has no cure
My asthma is no fun to me
But give me fingers fast and pure
To delight in the writing with ease
When I try to play piano
Fudge fingers suck the air
Notes yell like silver Soprano
A melody ruined by despair
I have mixed feeling about it
We all have a cross to bare right
But with fingers like mine I doubt it
Could complain and moan all night
Dear poetess had hip surgery
And has persevered despite all
So I say what the nerve of me
To complain of finger pain small talk
I eat a piece of fudge
it lands on my hips
great
I devour a potato chip
she travels to one of my tummy rolls
I see her happily settling down
I slurp down biscuits and gravy
Feel my butt get fluffy and puffy
starting to look frightful
One ingredient peanut butter fudge -
you don't even have to budge.
All you need to have's a spoon.
Serve in the morning or afternoon.

I listen to my favorite song
An uplifting beat and message so strong
Trying to play along on piano and
Blurb! A wrong note like a nonsensical word
My fingers are like fudge
Thin in the art thick in the part
Where you need to be nimble
Piano yells at me as if playing is simple
So I put on my favorite song
By the Sounds Of Blackness
It’s “Optimistic” and I feel it
A soulful voice melts my challenges
Tells me I can win and to not give up
Before long a Miracle full blown
Occurs when I get two chords right
And then follow the melody my delight
My heart is a yellow kite
I suck less today than last time
I tried to play piano!
dark like gooey fudge -
what I stepped in sure does not
smell like chocolate
Foolproof recipe faux fudge
Who wants to be called
foolish even for starters?
Every dummkopf can read!
Proof is recipe's enunciation!
Caramel fudge
is particularly nice
and consumed with delight
is gone in a trice
bananas however
although quite sublime
only get eaten
but one at a time
strawberries face a different demise
commonly held in highest esteem
are nevertheless
devoured by the bowlful smothered in cream
whilst a juicy ripe orange
when removed from its peel
whether eaten or juiced
to a thirst is surreal
not forgetting the apple
enjoyed in its skin
and crunched in big bites
is no longer a sin.
My pet dog, Smudge
I wish he'd smell of fudge
instead he stinks of poo
Smudge, I say this cos it's true
You and your big tiger feet
your love for me is sweet
but now it's time for your bath
Smudge thinks I'm having a laugh
He's now sprawled out on the floor
and won't come in the bathroom door
Oh Smudge what am I to do?
cos you really stink of poo
One idea I suppose
is to douse you with the hose
and get you all nice and clean
he probably thinks I'm being mean
Now my pet dog Smudge
he actually smells of fudge
Smudge no longer stinks of poo
cos I used fudge smelling shampoo
Mrytle the turtle bought a new girdle
when her zipper wouldn't budge.
She sucked in her gut and stuck out
her butt and went off to buy more fudge.
It's so hot this afternoon
Pink tongue sticks to silver spoon
Ice cream melts despite the cherry
I drool to cool dish with strawberry.
My brunch made is hot fudge cake
With ice cream in the middle
And a grand strawberry milkshake
So tasty that makes me giggle
And the entree fried ice cream
with fried pickles to dip
All so very cooling for teeth
The sweetness stays on my lip.

There once was a fellow who was a drudge
When something bad happened, he held a grudge
It just ate him up inside
His very navel was snide
Then everything changed ~ He discovered fudge
My teeth hurt from eating fudge.
Peppermint fudge, peanut butter fudge,
Rocky road fudge, rice cake fudge,
caramel fudge, and cherry fudge.
I have the best friend in the entire world
who brought me all of this fudge.
I can never repay her; I am sure I gained eight pounds.
But what a marvelous way to do it!
