Beware of the dog that guards your dreams.
It’s bite is not as sharp as it seems.
Give climb to the strong dry brick.
Ooo boy that dog you will trick!
And as you land the dust you will billow,
Sneezing the canine with now eyes opened.
The chase is on! And you are thinner,
Faster, and smarter!
You win this stretch, ‘till the unseen clothesline
The lady in heavy blue hung overnight
Nails you right in your furry little neck,
You the cat falling and choking
From 6 feet off the ground.
A dog barking.
Somewhere
Jimmy Buffet playing.
BBQ kielbasa smoking.
A nice summer evening
With your eyes
Closing.

The sauerkraut did it!!
Added that twinge of flavor
To the ham bone and its remnants
Collided with the Kielbasa
Soothed the pre-softened
Veggies of unknown origin.
It simmered – long and aromatically
Accomplishing acceptance
Easing the assimilation
Of a distant garden’s
Forgotten fields
Into a unified feast.
Thus, we sated ourselves
On its blended mysteries
Marveled at the soup’s ability
To change, yet stay the same,
Invite each shade of newness
To infiltrate its wholeness.
It was called “Ma’s Sour Soup”
And it was the sweetest bowl
Of tender care we ever ate.

There once was a dumb blonde from Warsaw
'twas the dumbest blonde I ever saw.
She was bound for Krakow
but wound up in Moscow
holding a kielbasa in each paw.
This dumb blonde headed back to Warsaw
without kielbasa in either paw.
Under a chair beneath
she had lost her false teeth
and had to eat sausage through a straw.

An Easter basket blessings of butter and bread,
hard boiled decorated eggs for Easter hunt spreads.
Pierogies, Kielbasa and Sauerkraut.
delectable prepared, is what Polish folks are about.
Spring time flowers, tulips, hyacinths and daffodills
staggered here and there between the green grassed hills.
Czas Wielkanocy - a wish for the Easter Holidays
set down to kneel, thank God and pray,
z calego serca - with all my heart
I wish you a wonderful start
to the spring so long awaited
and the Easter celebration elated.

Well let me tell you something,
before you run off with your boyfriend,
with his sports car and his twelve inch kielbasa
stretch out in his tight stone washed blue jeans;
Yes, sit there and shut up,
I'm sick of your bull-
and don't take me for a nice guy anymore,
you broke a invisible heart,
and forgot the tears,
love never won with you
and the roses got stuck to the bottom of your boot heel.
Then you sit there, with your batting brown eyes
and cry when I raise my voice,
and stand up for myself-
well now I don't care anymore,
Don't take me for a fool anymore
see me in the streets,
another guy, a poet walking in a gutter,
tell me more lies- that has never stopped you before,
go on now smack me in the face- DO IT! I dare you!
Break my back
and make me bleed,
but remember don't take me for a fool anymore.
Now go to your boyfriend
with his sports car and his twelve in kielbasa.

An Indonesian flag is a Polish flag upside down.
The capital of Jakarta is a long way from Warsaw town.
On the islands of Sumatra, Java, and Borneo,
sauerkraut and kielbasa is something they don’t know.
Has the average Indonesian ever heard of Thaddeus Kosciusko?
Does anybody know a good Indonesian joke?
People tell Polish jokes until they choke.
There is little to compare between these two countries.
Poland and Indonesia bear very few similarities.
