My old jeans menacing.
Gold jewelry too.
I have to feel the weird belt around my waist.
And the bracelet that appeared somehow.
Socks drying off.
Changing color too.
Nothing is as blue as a T-shirt.
That has a tragic stain.
I have to eat taco soup.
Just ground beef and broth.
A horrible thing.
I have to eat the droplets.
Filled with droplets.
Off a well rounded leaf.
To remind me of all the trinkets in the world.
Plastic bracelets and figurines.
Howling in my hands.
20 thin sliced eggplant or zucchini
brined and water and dried
30 slices of white tomato
30 slices of a good stiff red tomatto
4 tablespoons of crushed garlic
1 &1/2 cup of diced onion
2 lbs of sliced peperoni
4 cups of ground beef cooked
1 tub of ricotti
2 cups of cottage cheese
5 eggs
salt
pepper
cayeene
mushrooms
spinach
roasted red bell pepper in oil
Place the dough on counter,
pull rolling pin till flat,
push into a pie plate,
pile in the cooked ground beef,
potatoes and carrots,
put on the dough topper,
pop in oven till cooked.
grinding sausage
grinding teeth
grinding pepper
grinding ground beef
elbow grease and grit
no room for a butterfly to flit…
Wherefore is summer ‘a grind’
~ when to its beauty we are blind
There was a German Shepherd named George
Who - on only the best would gorge
If you offered him ground beef or fish
He would growl and cover his dish
He’d howl with a histamine headache
If fed anything less than steak.

ground beef
the last poem hurt
the last one hurt\\\\\\\
a hard one to digest
your now on the song's most wanted
burger's tonight would be killer
no longer burger's
potato's rice a dish of water
after a glass of juice
jagged edge blade, made me bleed and stabbed me deep, so far in, i have quite literally changed mentally and physically, i have become a lean ground beef pack, to be used after freezing and to be used once, please dont use me whole, i-i- l'll burn!
The last piece of ground beef
No larger than a quarter
Eyed longingly by eight little eyes
their manners for most part in order
First eye each other to look for a nod
And then to look at the plate
Or to look for intent
Should appetite break free in hope to fully sate
Suddenly a hand shot out
to make three laps in au jus
Popped it into her grease rimmed mouth
And bid the whole matter adeau
Save the earth by going vegan
honestly don't know if I can
T bone steak bloody rare
each morsel a bite you cannot spare
Jawing on the bone when the meat is gone
lick the plate it's never wrong
Hot juicy hamburger with just the bun
each bite melts on your tongue
Savoring the taste of real ground beef
of all sandwiches it is chief
Life without bacon is a sin
the meat candy is a win win win
The smell the taste and even the grease
flavoring those veggies your force to eat
That great southern favorite chicken fried steak
eating for lunch supper or breakfast when you wake
Lots of gravy and that big Texas toast
to wipe your plate to enjoy it the most
Don't forget fried chicken with the skin
bite to the bone finger good licking
A world wide favorite that never ends
glorious is the flavor of fried chicken
Lamb fish goat and turkey
that great snack beef jerky
Ham on holidays or any day at all
meat is the dish cooked or raw
Roast, baked grilled fry or stew
meat is there for any mood
But it can never be said enough
going without barbecue would be too rough
Fudge
Sweet chocolate
making, smelling, tasting
Energy, crazy, sluggish, heavy
Seasoning, frying, baking
Hamburgers chili
Ground beef
while experimenting
with flavors
Doctor Sinister
developed
a flavor the world may
have been waiting for.
He dehydrated cucumbers,
onions,garlic, and
a seedless tomato with liquid smoke.
he used a food processor to
to grind them, when he had a powder
he mixed it with dehydrated buttermilk solids
he added some cayenne pepper.
he used it to season ground beef.
he made a egg sourdough and made
hamburger rolls.
when these were done he
combined them making a wonderful
flavored hamburger.
he used cheddar to accent the flavor.
lettuce and tomato, minced onions
two slices of bacon.
and slathered the toasted
bun with thousand island dressing
he called it
The Rhine Carte Burger.
He wasn't finished
he used the same cucumber powder, oion mix
in a sourcream sourdough bread
what did you expect?
well he got knowthing but great results.
come on down to our resturant
and get yo'self sum of dat grub!"
he
(opens fridge) "Oh, what to buy...what to buy! I clearly need to go grocery shopping. Several things available are running out. Bread? Ah, there...I've got Bread, and Orange Juice, and Milk. Eggs? Almost out."(closes fridge)
(looking through the pantry)
"I'm craving meatloaf, but I can't make it.
I don't have enough ingredients!
I wanted to cook spaghetti last night but something is missing.
I don't like my coffee black.
And I don't like my food bland, thank you very much.
I'm craving something sweet;
I'm not even a sweet tooth.
Go figure.
So off grocery shopping, I go!"
My grocery list is as follows:
Ketchup
Ground Beef
Italian Bread Crumbs
Meatballs
Hazelnut Coffee Creamer
Salt
Ice Cream
M&M's
Milk
Barbecue Sauce
Eggs

You take an onion, chop it up real good.
You throw it in a pan under the cook top hood.
You add a little Lowry's and some ground beef.
You have the beginnings to end all your grief.
For half the price you can use ground turkey.
And there are times that come's out a bit quirky.
But be it taco's, helper stroganoff. or S O S.
I'll guarantee that it will be worth the mess.
If others are eating what you have cooked.
If you don't tell them too much, they'll be hooked.
This is where it's important to say grace.
Then, if they don't like it, just get outta my face.
But remember you have to keep the peace.
Because somebody's gotta clean up all this grease.
And it's only fair that it is not the cook.
Yeah, you can bet, you're gonna get a look.
But when the dishes have all been done.
And everyone feels like having some fun.
It's best to not get too excited.
Then maybe you'll get reinvited.
