Premium Member Ramble Around the Foundry

It’s been a day, brother, it’s been a day.
I’m ridiculous for lack of content,
All my plot holes are on display.
Am I doing OK? Am I having a day?
I can’t get a call back. I sat on a thumb tack.
It woke up my skinny white ass.
I’m mad in the morning. I’m angry afternoons.
I’m ornery as hell. I’m bloody pissed, as well,
And sick of the puddler’s stupid drama:
“We’re down by the bow and headed for the bottom.
There’s gonna be a ruckus, boys, so smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.”
Good lord, it’s just clinker and slag.
All the king’s horses are slovenly nags. 
Nothing but losers and misfits
Posing as rakes and roues.
Like red beans in chili con carne
Causing gas bending over the blarney.
I re-organize the hectic and recognize the stone.
And yet, because my truss work was contrived 
Of wrought iron, rather than steel,
It resisted corrosion while exposed to the storm.
Though I’ve been ghosted and gas-lit,
Led around like a halfwit,
I still miss Jenny Wren’s chrysanthemum smile,
And I'll always have a thing for Amber Rose.
So, I’m mailing my love to Azerbaijan.
Baka, Baku, it isn’t Shikoku, 
But it sometimes makes me smile.
And I thank my clerestory windows,
They let in the light and vent out the heat,
Affording me the grace to do my job.

A Spicy Halloween

Hot sauce placed at a booth. 
Is that a monster tooth?
Also covered in spice, it’s not blood at all. 
This is a new kind of festival this fall. 
A vampire makes garlic free spicy chips. 
Which are allergen free for anyone’s lips. 
A werewolf with a flaming treat. 
Is good enough for even a human to eat!
Eyeballs placed in red hot jelly. 
There’s plenty of milk for monster tongue and belly. 
Breathing out flames, hoping there’s no spark. 
The werewolf starts to hiccup and bark. 
A magical chili made by a witch. 
Turns you into goo in a magical switch. 
This Halloween, is a spicy food contest for every type of being. 
Including a ghost who is turning to smoke we are seeing. 
They thought a festive contest would not cause such churning…
But the vampire’s wings are burning. 
Maybe next year, we’ll keep things sweet. 
With non-spicy candy to eat. 
It’s ok to have a normal Halloween this year. 
Filled with colorful candy and fear. 
And if you still want some spice?
Maybe we’ll leave a couple hot mice. 
And a bone that’s saucy and not dry. 
To give a try. 
Halloween isn’t about the heat. 
It’s about zombies with falling off feet. 
And a werewolf gobbling up the worn out foot. 
Which isn’t tasty and is more like soot. 
Let’s keep Halloween spice-free this time. 
And enjoy the natural taste of slime!

Premium Member Miss All That At the Chili Cook Off

Miss All That (MAT) came in all prissy; serious cooks laughed a scoff.
Dare this woman think she’d make the finals in the ultimate cook off?
Something wrong with her we decided; her waist was too thin for sure.
We are serious chefs, burly with shaved heads who create chili pure.

Slimy's secret ingredient gives you flatulence and burps galore.
Many cream their britches before they reach the bathroom door.
Believe it or not, more people ate his chili than the chili of others.
He has thousands of relatives, I think fourteen younger brothers.

What do you call that crap? Asked a newcomer named Surly Sue.
We did not warn her in time, and she was now headed toward the loo.
Slimy slipped his secret ingredient into the donut she had been eating.
She did not make it for customers were taking up all the toilet seating.

Mother Russia in the form of Rotund Roth began his concoction. 
Kremlin always bought his chili to make money at their biggest auction.
You sign up to stand in the bread lines waiting for two slivers of toast.
Best quality is chili's persuasive ability to bend wills of man and ghost.

I pulled out all the stops this year, introducing the Super Power Slide.
Gives you a kick in the salivating glands that makes you want to hide.
You turn invisible so no one can see your flatulence propelling you.
Around the room twice, before letting you fly out the window too.

Miss All That asked about six thousand questions to every single cook.
I wanted to say "Here lady" and hand her my dilapidated cook book.
But instead, I fell into niceness mode and helped her like the others.
Her chili was named the best; for she slept with all of Slimy's brothers.

Premium Member In the Car

[To the tune of Superstar from the musical Jesus Christ, Superstar]

All you drivers, listen up! You need a new plan.
Driving down the highway, you gotta use both hands.
Tweeting on your iPhone in your minivan.
Gotta lose that Starbucks now, ‘cuz your Venti ain’t grand.
Trying to eat a bowl of chili? What in tarnation?
Gotta have a better plan to reach your destination.

(Put the burger down) Put the burger down
Don’t you clown around) Don’t you clown around
(Or you’re going down) Or you’re going down
(Gonna crash in town) Gonna crash in town

(So what can I eat?) So what can I eat?
(Don’t wanna mess the seat) Don’t wanna mess the seat
(Don’t wanna use my knees) Don’t wanna use my knees
(Oh, can you help me, please?) Oh, can you help me, please?

[CHOIR]
Cheese is nice, don’t think twice
It comes in strings, so that’s good advice
Cheese is nice, fairly priced
Still got one hand for your comms device

Cheese is nice, in the car
Chili? A spoon? Man, that is bizarre!
Cheese is nice, in the car
Hands on the wheel and you will go far

Premium Member 10 Things To Eat Instead of Red Meat

Is your go-to lunch roast beef sandwich?
Tomorrow you might want turkey instead

Tends to have more cholesterol

May linked to colon cancer

You should never eat beef or other red meats

Just go easy on them

Premium Member As Seasons Change

Which is it?....
An ending, or a beginning?
Seasons, circling around each other like rustling leaves...
Which one steals the show, takes the glory?
With crimson crepe myrtle blossoms bursting
Yet struggling, hanging on in spite of north wind blowing.
With leaves falling, acorns dropping bouncing off a winding concrete path
The promise of a different landscape, sits on the horizon....
Sun ripe skies, still clear, yet clouds of change are watching....waiting patiently
Early morning chillness,...rosy, amber evenings
Swimming holes, sandy beaches, mountain hikes...still alive by afternoon light
Memory of watermelon still lingers...sweet on the tongue
But quietly, a fond return, like the welcome home of old friendships...
Are cooler nights and shorter days
Of pumpkins turned from green to gold, crisp apples almost ready to pick
Greasy barbecues, pushed in corners, lawn chairs stacked on garage rafters
The fragrant burning of logs, chimney's coming alive with smoke
Books, pencils, notebooks, lunch pails, bright yellow buses
Stadiums filled, Friday night lights,  
Popping corn and chili beans, casseroles, and steaming mugs
One last day at the beach, closing with chill in the evening air
And ending....or a beginning......circling 'round each other once more
                                                                             like rustling leaves....

Premium Member Her Eyes, Like Fireflies

The concert had been perfect ...

Chaka and Al Jarreau on the grass at Foxwoods
     A dry and warm July evening
Sleepy full moon peeking up over the horizon
     (As if checking to make sure the jealous sun had set)

     Then rising ever-so-cautiously
Like a gold doubloon tossed in slow-motion
     We drove to Prospect Park and climbed the hill with a blanket
Laying it out when we reached the top

Then sitting down to watch the lights of Boston
     There was a tangible magic in the air
One of those nights when something grand speaks to your deepest being
     Telling you that for this rare and precious moment

     (A moment that could stretch to forever)
All was right in the Universe, and nothing would or could go wrong
     Thirty years ago, yet I remember every detail
The way her fingers filled the spaces in mine as we ran up the hill

The scent of her Je Reviens perfume
     Mixing with the aroma of newly-mown grass
The exquisite silkiness of her tan Taiwanese skin
     Her raven hair hanging around her face like a dark halo

     Spicy, luscious chili pepper lips tugging mine
Quiet but intense little sighs of pleasure and encouragement
     And her eyes ... oh her eyes, like cool-and-glassy mountain pools at night
The distant lights of the city shimmering softly within

Swimming in the dreamy depths of her gaze
     Like the fireflies that swam in the air around us
Telling me all I needed to know, all the things her body spoke to me
     The soul-deep-and-sexy things that my body answered ...

     Sweet ... vulnerable ... delirious.

Premium Member The Real Food Song - My Passion

Potato chip, I love you up,
my darling little buttercup.

A cup! A Reese’s chocolate one
with peanut butter. Oh, what fun!

What fun is time with nacho chips;
delightful cheese to tease my lips.

My lips around a hamburger,
with onion rings my heart to stir.

Stir the chili in the pot.
Add Tabasco; cook it hot.

Hot, that snack I love so well,
is buttered popcorn that I smell.

Smell the pasta fantasy-
sauce and parmesan for me.

Me and cheesecake, cherries atop.
Once I start, I cannot stop.

Stop for ice cream; what I wish-
a sundae sitting in a dish.

Dish me up some southern fried
with mashed potatoes on the side.

A side of bacon, crispy fat.
I see nothing wrong in that!

That’s a spicy hot tamale.
Enchiladas make me jolly.

Jolly Christmas; candies sweet,
turkey, ham; so much to eat.

Eat a pizza. It’s the best.
Now I’ve gotta take a rest.

(An oldie of mine where I tried to make each new couplet start with the word at the end of previous couplet)
