The Icy Mix Is Coming Down

the icy mix is coming down
got my applewood bacon and cheese hot pockets
got my cheddar cheese instant grits
got my hint of honey almond milk
yet i am still a bit hoarse

the icy mix is coming down
got my remote control
found a fairly new episode of house hunters
got my favorite place on the sofa
yet i am still a bit off the main course

the icy mix is coming down
set my tablet up in pandora
got my louis jordan station giving me eargasms
laid my weary body down in my favorite spot on the bed
yet i am still feeling a tad bit far from near

the icy mix is coming down
got the blinds open but ajar
got the attention span on the view but partially
got a maze craze space as filler for the rest of the day
yet i am still the unfortunate source of a malevolent misery because she is not here

Premium Member Tasty Carrot Juice (Epulaeryu)

Sweet baby carrots for me
Setting my heart free
Swimming in low calorie
Sipping with ice, nice!
Sweet taste with no waste
Succulent— 
Juice!

Premium Member My Vineyard (Epulaeryu)

Let the poor in my vineyard
Gleaning and eating
Even strangers I attest
Come to the harvest
Sweet grapes for the souls
Behold thy

Premium Member RUN TURKEYS RUN

Knives and forks being sharpened for the big event
Thanksgiving feast that is too come
Turkey’s everywhere on alert wanting to avoid the Ax
Their thought of escape from the oven to being stuffed
Always the main course
Turkey’s defeat
Planning on their retreat
Turkeys are leaving town
Planning places where they can’t be found
While others are being plucked
Victims of no surrender
Turkey score
It will be a soar
Households all united in their quest of the turkey serve
Knives and forks getting set to dig in
Turkeys are venturing to places to be free
The solution being flee
Turkeys want peace, rest and comfort
The Turkeys blame of the Pilgrim’s in what they started
They couldn’t leave wellness alone
Turkeys became full blown
Pilgrim’s, look what you done
“Turkey pig out”

Meal Manipulation

Letter from the Beeb
Addressed to me by name
Should I grasp the chance
Should I strive for fame?

Hello Fellow Food Mauler
Come and join the Eliite
Bring a clean pinnie anc
Come looking clean and neat. 
To Great British Dinners where 
I really pissed off the host
No matter what they asked for
I served ‘em Beans on toast 
My entree toast and marmite
With just a smear of Marge
With the bread sliced in four 
So it wasn’t all too large.
 
I served treacle on toast
For my simple sweet
A glass of iced water
Made my offering complete 
My menu got ‘em baffled
They didn’t know what to do
It was only by a whisker
They didn’t let me through
I should have been more daring 
And enhanced the main course
Offering  choice of Dark Soy,
Tomato, or Heinz brown sauce

Come cooking on the Tele where
If you told ‘em all it was good
They’d eat fried Elephant dung
Served  on a bit of wormy wood

Premium Member Thirst Quencher (Epulaeryu)

He gave water to quench thirst
A refreshing spring
He told it calm and be still
Tasty as iced tea
Sweet like lemonade
It is so 
Nice!

Gaslighting

My name is dreaming
as a verb
but I have spent my whole life as an adverb

like a side dish
that prepares you for the main one

and I don’t know 
which paths led me here
or it’s because of all those paths that I missed
my spatial orientation is fuc*ed
mind has it’s own will
it aligns according to the needs and desires of other 

just like a side dish

sometimes I'm too much
so they postpone me aside

or I’m used for digestion layering 
paving the way for the chef's recommendation

in other scenario they just skip me
as I "value" less then the preferred main course

value

such a discriminating word 
forcing gradation division between two poles
creating binary emulsion where we all suffocate eventually

I can’t breathe

accumulated stress from constant apprehension
whether I’ll be delayed, ignored, or consumed
constructed thick cobweb layer above my larynx
which caught me in the adverb matrix where you don’t have time 
to rebel against side dish label as you’re occupied by grasping air

I can’t breathe
my bio is laid on the last page of the menu

I’m tired 
I’m so tired of being accompaniment for someone else’s happiness


I just can’t breathe


my heart is trauma bonded

mind is living in side dish delusion

and lungs have misplaced their confidence beneath that cobweb

I want to fire the match
and start my own private big bang

I need to

Premium Member Elmont's Steak Dinner

Elmont was hungry 
He needed money 
Trying not to be bitter 
Hearing the bull sifting through the ticket litter 
Two bucks thrown away 
Nothing came through his way 
Headed home 
All alone 
Planning what to tell his bookie on the phone 
And there it appeared 
Saying he had nothing to fear 
Wiping a tear 
Suddenly, seeing a gigantic steer 
“He has a lot of raw meat 
When grilled at the proper heat 
Tangy and sweet” 
But how does Elmont take 
This beef cake 
From the grazing land
To the hamburger stand 
Elmont thought and sought 
How this entrée could be caught 
Go up to the main course on the lawn 
And say ‘you are not going to see the dawn’ 
‘I am in control 
Going to take you in on my patrol’ 
With a little light left 
Moos could even be heard by the deaf 
He found one wanting to be cooked 
Slaughtered and seasoned as stated in the good book 
“Moo” said the cow
Elmont answered him with a pow
A few hours later 
His loving partner was the waiter 
“You tipped the cow way too much 
And he didn’t like where you touched
I took spare ribs out of the freezer 
Enjoy them at your leisure” 
It took work 
To barbeque the pork 
An interesting selection 
No need for rejection 
Even though Elmont did not get a steak dinner 
His wife tonight was the true winner

Premium Member A Festive 24 Hours

As the day turned  

Fighting Irish were certainly concerned  

Waiting for a meeting  

With an Aloha greeting  

Aggies promoting the lone star  

Trying to clear the collegiate hardwood bar  

Hoping something is left in their athletic jar  

But when morning shines  

No one can decline  

Way back east  

Main course turkey feast  

First a holiday parade  

Wanting a good grade  

Balloons inflating  

Celebrity gobbling about who they are dating  

As singers and dancers  

Display answers  

During an entertaining show  

To welcome Father Christmas, you know  

Then for some  

When Philly and New York are done  

Where do they go for some fun  

Motor city  

Looking ever so pretty  

Lions, bears  

Featuring a wild life battle that should be fair  

Only to be replaced  

When the cowboys and raiders take the space  

Giving a reason to hold a family dessert race 

As the moon uses its lighted lunar pen  

One must legally defend  

Dropping a French Quarter  

Tempting the reporter  

Being told to keep their story shorter  

Explaining about the saints and bills  

Using photogenic stills  

Saying anything at will  

Trying to close a mystery  

Haunting history  

Started where one gambles on sins  

Concluded when voodoo proclaim who wins  

Allowing US to sleep 

Counting sheep  

Not needing to issue a peep   

About why once we all needed to weep  

Due to the actions from a creep  

Attending a parade in the street  

Having anger from the Russian bear who was a lion  

Service and democracy he was, not buying  

Acting like a cowboy  

Raiding the festive joy  

To pay the bills  

 A saint he was forced to kill 

Do not worry about tomorrow  

And any information horror  

Take two steps back  

Use tact  

Enjoy Thanksgiving  

And embrace living

Premium Member Not Quite The Same

I am a blizzard; you are a flurry:
you are the tea leaves, I am the teapot.
A Lancelot and Guinevere combo:
you're the key; I'm the lock to Camelot.

I am a fantasy; you are a dream:
you're a blazing sun; I am a lit match.
I am a firefly; you're a twinkling star:
you're an itch; I'm a satisfying scratch.

I'm the universe; you are the Big Bang:
you're a shooting star; I'm a starry night.
I'm Quasimodo, you are Notre Dame:
you are the main course; I'm the appetite.

I'm a violin, you're an orchestra:
you are my melody, and I'm your song.
I am a tango, you are a ballet:
not quite the same; that's why we get along.
