Cats got yo tongue,
catwalks, runs stalks prowls;
Meow!
Catheads catalog catlike people.
Meow, yet they smell cationic;
Cats got yo tongue!
Catlings catmints containments within parsnips;
Catnaper catcher of meow winks;
And does a catfish eat mice;
Cats got yo tongue!
And does a dog walk down a catwalk;
Does a catbird tweet-tweet...
And does a catchup ever get behind;
Do cats wear shoes with their catsuit;
Does a catboat sink or floats;;
Catcall the caterer chatter-chatter-
Cats got yo tongue;
MEOW!

I am in a quandary
I am in a fix
My life in a predicament
I wonder what will happen next
Nothing doth run smoothly
So often things go wrong
It would be so refreshing
For a new day to begin
with laughter and with joy
and a large double gin
And as the sun begins to rise
And blackbirds start to sing
I’m looking all around
for a dilemma to begin
Breakfast comes and goes
Not a burn upon the toast
For today this day be Sunday
I look forward to my Sunday roast
A gentle stroll along the prom
Before it starts to go all wrong
But people smile and for a while
I even burst into a song
Back at home the leg of lamb
Permeates my nostrils
Pink and succulent with roasties
tender carrots and parsnips
lots of lovely fresh mint sauce
complements the lamb of course
I sit and tuck into my meal
lamb melting in my mouth
This is my favourite Sunday roast
But then disaster doth approach
My left front crown I'd swallowed down
My day had begun
far too good to be true
I am starting to choke
I am turning bright blue
Alone am I ~ am I going to die
No one here to pat my back
I am in a pickle
I am in a jam
In such a tight corner
In a quandary is where I am…

Add more sweet potatoes or squash to that
mixture. It is entirely to sweet! It is delicous
and spiced just right
but it is to sweet.
Some nuts or rasains would colpliment it to
a thin layer with some cream cheese or
goat cheese, on a Pâte Brisée,
"now that's cooking!"
I want everything to be perfect.
We gonna roast a leg of lamb
medium rare
and slice it thin serve it up
with some roasted potatoes
and asparagus And some carmilized
carrots and parsnips.
"Sauce up the drippings and put it out there!"
Two wines and a grape juice blend
"tart enough for a pucker"
Concord Grape Juice mixed with
Malbec and Shiraz.
"Thats what we gota today darling!"
A Vegetable Story

Curly Kale, Crunchy Sprouts on a cold windy day.
Onions, Parsnips, Carrots and tall Welsh Leek,
King Edwards, Purple Turnip, ready next week.
Corn cut off the cob with sweet Barley Rice,
Mash up that Swede for a treat savour nice.
Tips of Asparagus are one acquired taste,
Into the soup, don’t let them go to waste.
Vegetable Squash with Butternut and Pumpkin,
Tearing Sour dough bread, ready for dunking.
Please don’t choke on a strange looking Arti’
Exclusively reserved for a Vegan style party.
Try some boiled Beet and a large slice of Yam,
Fennel is soporific, a bit like I am.
Parsley and Cress make a simple garnish,
Spring Onion and Celery, very Saladish.
Going to the wood, picking wild Mushroom,
Beware some are poison, Stomach-ache of doom.
Lots of choice for a Veggie style life,
No need for meat, no need of a knife.
Don’t want to preach, so my voice is on mute,
That’s all from the Veg, lets start on the Fruit.
Wine Through the Bassoon started the day
with applause!
we were having a party!
We wanted to get down!
Music, Dance, Food and fun!
we were gonna appoint the new positions
in the organization.
They then would appoint people to duty positions
and then the allocation processes would
make the scheduling of events known.
voted on by all members
the senior member would have first Dibbs on
the happenings
over dates and times
if the event scheduling were challenged
then the junior duty folk
could vote against the existing event.
We hoped that we had enough votes to
get the things done in an orderly fashion.
The secretary and associate members (4 of them)
were in charge of keeping track
we did the thing and approved our new organization with
the budget and schedule for the following year.
We were to host three concerts and
several sporting events
and Clown day was still in limbo
pending better wording.
The food was gorgeous and devine!
We had BBQ'd Country style ribs
that were so tender
you could use a spoon to eat them
aromatics that build a savory base.
Yellow onions, garlic, carrots, celery,
waxy potatoes Yukon Gold mushrooms,
and sweet potatoes parsnips.
the wines paired well with the pork,
Syrah/Shiraz, or Malbec
for those who didn't want pork
the beef was a perfect replacement
slow cooked cross rib roast
were tender and delious!Rioja and
Cabernet Sauvignon were the
accompanying wines
Alphabet soup, homemade, here's how
Begin the dish with alphabet pasta and homemade chicken broth
Coriander is next, chopped finely and bruised in cloth
Dice some carrots and parsnips, add chopped swedes as well
Endives and onions tickle the taste buds, create aroma for smell
Fennel bulbs and feathery fronds add pique and intrigue
Grate some Parmesan, add mace and cumin, for spicy blitzkrieg
Heat on high to just before boiling, then reduce heat and simmer gently on low
Insert a spoon and swirl to see perchance what the letters spell out on surface floe
'Just' eat the better half of all meals on your plate
'Keep' snacks at bay by banning from pantry, making temptation abate
'Lessen' you loaf time by walking, running, cycling an hour each day
'Make' wholesome meals, with whole fresh foods and vegetable buffet
'No' more quick junk food fixes to cure feeling-down and depressed
'Or' between meal snacks when hunger pangs bite and diet gets stressed
'Portion' control is far easier that counting calories each time you eat
'Quell' your calories by skipping lunch or one other meal, and each day repeat
'Regular' fasting far easier than eating dietary greens and stuff with no appeal
'Sociably' better, sharing main meal with family, friends, bypassing diet exclusion ordeal
'To' make sure you keep on track to lose weight, eating less and keeping slim
'United' plan and pledge to make durable lifestyle changes to become terrific and trim
'Verily' to keep to your plan, to keep from being beaten
'Waiting' no more to make it happen
'Xeroxed' copies of Mediterranean Diet Recipes at the ready
'Yearning' to be slim and terrific with weight steady
'Zapping' through each day with gusto
The crowd shuffles
hands raised in vain attempt
to catch a windblown lottery ticket
If you spend 25 bucks
(not counting the price of the turkey)
You can get the turkey
for 89 cents a pound
If not….you’ll pay more
for the turkey than for
the entire dinner.
Took my grandkids to the park.
saw 32 wild turkeys crossing the street
without a crossing guard.
Never play checkers with a cat.
I made Rock Cornish Game Hen for supper.
My kids wanted to know what happened to the turkey?
I told them I washed it…..and it shrunk.
I once ate “Blood Pudding” and Parsnips with my father.
Don’t ask!
How long does it take to become “indigenous”?
I asked Mom: “how many jelly beans can I have?”
She answered: “how many is too many.”
If you factor in all the cleaning, shopping, arranging, set-up, preparation….
the Thanksgiving meal comes to about $89.73 per person..
More if you have a “kids” table.

I ate the shank of the turnips what a wonderful food
Dipped the cornbread into the pot liquor
Then shawshanked out of the room..
My mother-in-law said her father called her older sister, Shank
And he called her Shawshank
Just out of curiosity I looked them up..Surprise, surprise!!
Shank means the top of a vegetable like the turnip tops, beets or parsnips or carrot, etc..It also is a cut of meat the shank park of a ham..
However, I did not find a meaning on shawshank until I looked in the Urban Dictionary and it means passing gas in small amount moving around a room or building to keep anyone from knowing who passed the gas..LOL..I guess my mother-in-law must have been a gassy baby..LOL
