Long Flan Poems

The Avenue of Gastronomic Delight

City life gathers when twilight awakens;

In eateries, drive-ins, greasy spoons and taverns – jumpin’ joints jumpin’
Like Snoopy with his dish doing the suppertime dance;

Lured by...

Jam roly poly, treacle sponge
And sticky toffee pudding head the top of my list
But apple pie, rhubarb crumble
Or a decent cheesecake are hard to resist

Banana splits, eclairs or brownies
Dumplings, nougat, cheese board or mousse

You need to be a friend
Cum an enemy to blend

You need a quite quiet spirit
To cool the heat of life's red beret

 Romancing with hands spread
 All over, exploring crevices, valleys
 Undulating hills and mountains which spreadraggle.

Some people need the shove,
The confidence to show people...

I sat there staring at the screen
Thinking about lunch
Feeling very lean

I sat there still
Letters taunting me
Staring out the window sill

All I got was Nature staring back
Mocking me completely
I grew so slack

Haiku’s flashed through my head

I saw it there and stopped for a while,
perched dainty at the top of the pile
of crockery, grubby, crazed and old

But found inspiration in Stutzman, not an arm, 
At the London Paralympics, to top the rack.
