a lot of you folk out there would have a bit of envy too;
you see I'm a 'lacky' for a vet, well...

I SHUDDER TO  THINK 

I  shudder to think about the way 
Some  vegetables are  abused every day -
With physical  and psychological  slights
In gross violation of their vegetable rights.

Handicapped vegetables...

My name is Aphrodite and
my offering to man
is fierce love.
I spread it out before you
like a lavish bridegroom’s dinner
with foods named aphrodisiacs rightly after me!
Caviar, oysters and shrimp;
spears of warmed asparagus and
artichokes stripped of leaves...

Her lust for you is fierce.
She spreads it out before you
as if it were a lavish bridegroom’s dinner
of caviar, oysters and shrimp;
spears of warmed asparagus and
artichokes stripped of leaves to dip in luscious butter;
truffles too...

Do not be afraid, Dear Girl, my room’s right down the hall
At the back of the house where it’s quiet; a very pleasant room overall
You may if you prefer freshen up after our prolonged amble

Grandpa’s a gem in the garden,
tending his sprouts and his peas,
tomatoes and onions and cabbage,
his ‘caulies’ and his broccoli’s.

I have seen plenty of gardens,
chocked full of bountiful greens,
but none the standard of grandpa’s,
with his chili’s...

An invite came from Buckingham Palace to sup with the queen!
What a rarefied event that will be, dining on royal cuisine!
I try to recall the many social graces taught by my Mom,
So as to breeze...

juiced spare moments, 
and tubby direct, ernest and frank
lemme communicate without resorting 
to caginess, 

but NON GMO, gluten free roaming thoughts to thank

for welcoming a small group 
of family...

Peter the Pumpkin went walking one night
When Samantha the Squash strolled past
Peter was smitten, it was love at first sight
"Will you marry me now?" He asked

They ran to Patch Hall like frolicking pups

A Pensioner
An octogenarian - he moved to the retirement home
which promised all-year sun, blue sky, and sedate sea.

A grey, balding, and stooped figure, 
his gait is far from firm as he walks.
Panoramic vistas, crushed-cardboard like...

Ailing armadillos advertising artichokes. But bringing back brilliance brought big booming bangs. Courteous cats creating canopies. Dogs do dare dream during digs. Energetic eggs evaluating effigies. Frying fortresses frees flamingos. Grateful goats grinning greedily. Hippos...

Lights are glowing gently
The curtains have been drawn
The radio plays softly
An old, well loved song
The summer night is calm
With the moon on the rise
Racoons head for the corn
Much to no one's surprise
Darkness coats the hillside
Cattle...

Avid anteaters ate artichokes
Blossoming beyond barley’s beauty,
Classic chews can clearly 
Deny delivering dangerous dangling dates
Evening eggplants enormous evolved ecstatic
Ferocious fig fritters furthering Frito’s finesse.
Galloping gingerbread giants gobbling goats gelatin,
Hurrying heavily handsome hindquarters 
Imagining illustriously ignorant
Jealous...

Just about to launch a new career

Or maybe I should call it a hobby

And easy step-by-step videos to help us along

Hearty har har - helplessly howling happy hysterics
awareness, after all, always amazes artichokes!
Everyday evil eggs are eaten eagerly
yesterday you yacked yucky yellow yolks
singing silly sickening sapsucker swill songs!
Dangerous dopey dogs deny dumping dung
but bark big...

I parked along the side of the road
where the shoulder turned to gravel.
I left my cardoor open, thinking I’d only be a moment.
Into the golden weeds I trudged
to find my favorite flower.
Bull thistle bloomed
violet,
jewels aloft...

Took knowledge in a logical way
Took out books starting with "A"
After a few months and a week
Wasn't even close to the "B's"
But I could tell you anything you wanted to know about aardvarks and artichokes

But...

Little lavender lumps of lollipops
poke platinum pumpernickel
and pea-green pomegranates
with a bright blue tomato touching
the pink pineapples painted
on a double-drawered dresser,
creating cockamamie cravings 
for fire flaming red ice cream
on a checkered coconut cone
with winter white watermelon

AUTUMN   CROWDS

All night shaking and banging the metal roof,
Grey old water-laden crowds
Blocking the warmth of autumn’s sun;
Long uncut grass flows smooth as a cat’s fur
Under the scoops of the wind’s bluster.

Tall skinny Jerusalem...

Smelly zucchini 
Disappears like Houdini 
Only this 
And crawfish 
And my mind straight to potatoes 
As I'm stepping on tomatoes 
I discovered artichokes 
Swallowing carp fish bones makes my throat hurt
 I wash it...

Red Feather speaks,
A brave Indian Chief with a weakness - 
Red Feather speaks with flowers.

With ESP he purrs to purple violets
Of their exquisite beauty
Pleasing his quietest hours.

Pink and tender impatiens seem to defy
Rough round artichokes
For...
