Premium Member The Queen Has a Navy that Floats in Her Gravy
The Queen has a navy That floats in her gravy, It’s sharp and its clear, But it’s sure tough to steer, For the rudders get stuck In that thick, grayish muck, And the lads in the stern Have a penchant to yearn For the bright shining waters All popping with otters, Yet they smile as they sail past Her Majesty’s repast, And wink as they think That...

Premium Member chuck loves light gravy
I love light gravy on biscuits, mashed potatoes, turkey or in a spoon Bring me some if you please, I will love you more than the moon If you bring me dark gravy my appetite runs away and yells yuck. Light gravy or nothing, says my persnickety brother, two-year-old Chuck....

Radio Days
Our old fashioned kitchen ways, way before the modern malaise, those family favourite, radio days, Swinging Blue Jeans, Johnny Ray, Martha Reeves and Marvin Gaye, those sentimental songs they played. Our old fashioned kitchen ways, without plastic meals from trays, those salad days of mayonnaise, with fablon coated, hollandaise, and chicken roasted, lyonnaise, experimental honey glaze. Our old fashioned kitchen ways, mum singing songs of praise, inside that gravy,...

Premium Member more sausage gravy for Stephanie
Stephanie did not know about sausage gravy Until she decided to join the US Navy. What is this delicious stuff? She asked her first mate. Biscuits and gravy; ain’t it enormously great? She wanted gravy on her eggs, gravy on her toast. She loved sausage gravy so much, actually the most. I want gravy in my coffee and gravy in my...

Premium Member Leonard the big leg turkey
We children gathered around the table. The aromas were rich and dense, we fidgeted. But we had one last thing to do - before we began the feast. We all, in our places, held hands, smiling, as my dad began to sing - and, after a beat, we all joined in. ** To the tune: “Rudolph the red nose reindeer* “Leonard...

Premium Member My Love For Biscuits and Gravy
Three times this week I have had biscuits and gravy. They are fifteen hundred and two calories per plate. I know because I do not make them. I eat them in restaurants and they list these calories. All three times this meal was super scrumptious. I was not expecting them to be as good today. For the menu listed them as...

Premium Member A Poem About Delicious Gravy
Blessed be the person who turns the sour to sweet. Blessed be the person Who sees the child in the lead. Blessed be the wind That carries truth about the air. Blessed be the soul That cares, and cares, and cares. Blessed be the heart that knows no bounds. Blessed be the ears that hear no greed-filled sounds. Blessed be the love that...

Gravy Slave
Gravy Slave Her eyes now dim, lustre lost with worry and age. What will today or tomorrow bring? More assaults to this already tired and worn body. She used to say, ‘Old age does not come alone. No, it comes with disease rampaging through cells, taking with it function and purpose. In its place are left pain anguish and decay. One...

Chocolate Gravy
The ride is as long and boring as could be. So I sit and watch leaves fall from the trees. Then I heard her say hello. And out of the car, I was sure to go. The smell of bacon pleases me. As I sit under the big tree. There are eggs, biscuits, sausage, and bacon....

Premium Member Rainbow Gravy On Mashed Potatoes
Rainbow gravy on mashed potatoes Invented by angel only knows. It’s on my plate, and it truly glows. Formed into trees, and two distinct toes. Cousin loved it, she ate her’s and Joe’s. I pass my plate over, and eat my jellos. Rainbow gravy on mashed potatoes. Where is the cook? Which one of you knows? How did he make this gravy that...

Premium Member Gravy and Biscuits
Mix the ingredients? I have no idea. The jumble of powders defying my action Smiling with ease my sister Sophia She gently disturbs the matter distinctly Some born with the instinct to hunt Others knowing how to make a bake delightful Thus, we carry on together blending our strengths Gravy and biscuits, a blessing 'til all are full A...

Premium Member Not For Us Now Chicken and Gravy and Baked Biscuits- -
While sitting at the kitchen table my spirit; Embarks listening my nose for the baked biscuit; I am invested so heavily in simplistic tradition; Hot baked buttered fresh out the oven wicket; Grandma told me and grandpa get out the skillet; Cause that chicken and gravy for Christmas; 12/30/19 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2019©...
