Pies Politics And Birds

300 lbs. can’t hide my weight from stealing pies from bakeries

Fur pies don't sell so bakers use eggs
It is evident in the historical records

Fur coats are difficult to swallow

No matter...

To give wings to my muse
Release the...

The Town of Sintra, Portugal

A tourist attraction, a lovable town
With its twisting and turning roads and lanes
Gardens where Eucalyptus and fur have grown
A town that past glory maintains

The mountainous terrains like ups and downs of...

I’ve crossed many rivers so cold
am known to be stout and bold
the likes of cheese and crackers
makes me lips go smackers.

Aunt vowed I would be a prince.
No sooner daddy was intered
Than I knew khaki was not a leather.

cobblestones filled in with rain
crowded by thirsty mourning doves
just down the road a bit
connects the noted Canterbury lane

flower pots hanging by the windows

Urban legend now bared to the bone
Yet its trademark can no larger store clone
No glossy signs, spacious lots fealty to hone

Flour, water, salt, and yeast

were for generations the staple
of bread eaten at the table.
