Gallic Garlic Gall of Gaul


Hands clench stuck in a culinary trench with no French

Devotion can’t bench sensory commotion a saucy wench

Emotions wrench if no whiff on the breeze of cheese stench 

Potions & notions quench..ocean lotions tastebuds drench

For a foodie bouillebaisse with timeless grace like Judi Dench


No dodgy Brigitte Bardot politics or slick card tricks of tarot

Go for Gallic garlic gall.. all will enthrall when in Gaul..Escargot

Choir of desire ce soir more beurre.. pot au feu.. boudin noir 

The star steak au poivre or oeuvre as they make fresh tartare


Mussel frites hustle.. boozy bustle.. shellfish tussle of a bistro

Cassoulet with pomme puree then creme brulee classics spar    

Foie gras a mardi gras or bizarre faux pas in brasserie bazaar

Pastry crew Michelin route could be choux or tasty en croute 

Never hasty flavour douche a louche croquembouche maestro 
 

Pouting fondue goo spouting fountains on mountains outing

Creamy tartiflette or steamy andouillette from piggy toilette 

Forget Pret get a better baguette cornichons raclette touting    

What’s more francois then petit pois or dreamy dauphinoise

Carbs shouting.. barbs flouting.. baked camembert scouting

No doubting dishes with calories sprouting diets are a routing


For some it’s foodie hell for me Heaven..my true blue belle 

Fruit de Mer in that terracotta apparel has me over a barrel

Travel under the spell crustaceans relations you fell.. unravel     

Shell fish fresh from saline swell my divine dell in La Rochelle


No askance glance at the chance for your palette to dance

In a trance at how they enchant stuff always buff & enhance

Know in advance their cultural stance.. revolution..the lance

Saw red aristocrats dead off with their head no longer prance 

Instead perchance adored smorgasbord hoard vive la France

Premium Member EVOLUTIONARY UPDATE

Oh, when did evolution end
Or was it just a passing trend
That ran its course and then got worse
Or is it just a fading curse

For monkey’s would deny such kin
That say they are the root of men
For even the most vile Jackals
Ever put their foes in shackles

And yet these homosapiens
Claim they’re where evolution ends
That should there be a fall from grace
There’s nothing that could take their place

They have no clue the cats are waiting
And purring, mewing traps they’re baiting
Indoors, outdoors, all are feral
And “owners” all over a barrel

The fox is sly, the bear a brute
But kitty cats are oh so cute
And dogs, poor fools, will do as told
As long as kitty refills their bowls

They Were Dying, Part 2 of 7

(Here, Clark Gable is speaking.
Gaylord Langland was the character
he played in the just-completed
movie.  "Trotsky" is his nickname
for Arthur Miller and the "little
girl" is Marilyn Monroe.  Gable did
not attend the wrap party and died 
of a hreat attack the following day.)

Gaylord

Everything just happened wrong. 
It'll do that, sometimes. 
A movie set is like a ship, I guess. 
Some are happy, some not. 
I'll skip the party. 
I've seen enough, 
and I'm feeling kind of rough. 
Trotsky? I won't bad-mouth the guy. 
He knows so many things, 
but he doesn't know women. 
It was sad to watch him try. 
When a woman decides, inside, 
to pass on you, you're screwed. 
Not even dynamite will do. 
I told him, "Don't cling. 
Stop thinking you can change things." 
His intellect is all he had, 
and he certainly deployed it. 
But pain is part of the deal. 
Can't none of us avoid it. 
The little girl? We had a fling. 
She's not like anybody thinks. 
The brassy, buxom ***** 
is some ad-man's creation. 
She's a brittle little child. 
Her skin is too thin. 
You cut your hand, she feels it. 
In my philosophy, 
it's a simple equation: 
they pay me, I show, 
ready to go. I don't know 
why they need these 
analysts and therapists. 
Business before show. 
She asked a bunch of stuff, 
couldn't get enough. 
Wanted my suggestions. 
Hungry to hear about Harlow, 
got me over a barrel 
on Yvonne De Carlo. 
Even asked about Carole. 
I said, "Easy, Harietta. 
You'll never know a man better 
by asking him questions.
