Long Sirloin Poems

"What sort of world
be home to those
who goes about
judging all souls
of what they do
be right or wrong
and how'd they know
of this-and-that
be bad or good
be alsoooo, true
lest they were told
from the same lot
who walked the walk

The Fat Man at the Buffet

By Elton Camp

Saturday eve, we thought it might be nice
To go to “All-You-Can-Eat-for-One Price.”
But as we were standing in the line to pay

At a comment below' hard to find a loyal one nowadays',

Word: Paper

Just like my swirling mind, a blank sheet of paper,
Sits in front of me, the smooth waves intimidating me. 
There's not a single mark yet, as my imagination hasn't...

There's this strange fascination, 
I carry without contemplation-
it lingers on with infatuation,
as I'm stuck on this fixation.

I learned this all on my own-
Picture Frames and scrapbooks, 
full of the pets...

Anchored by its feet hangs the carcass
Butcher removes brisket and strings it
Chuck steak diced for stews and pies
Dark well matured silverside rests
Entrails give the dogs a royal feast
Flank minced for spaghetti bolognese
Gullet chopped into stock...

IT MUST BE PUPPY LOVE
Love and faithfulness live together - Psalm 85:10

Throughout the ages,
Family pets have served.
Faithful til the end,
Many have observed.

Do they know how to love,
As humans think they do?
Look into their eyes,
The rest...

Soft pink candle light flickered
Baked sirloin on plate
Sparkling champagne bubbling
Onions and mushroom
Nice gravy on top
So wonder—

At The Ramada Inn 

teenage boyfriend sits butt close to brown eyes
waitress with bleeding lips serves a silent sirloin
middle aged mother says the meat is too rare
bespectacled father stares at the impaled thing
says the leaking...

Eat out in a restaurant
And when your meal is through,
There might be some left on your plate – 
So, what are you to do?

Ask them for a doggie bag
Or say it’s for your cat;
Admitting it’s...

For it usually ends up dry,and about as dry as burnt toast

Chocolate ice cream slowly melting
with taste most divine,
sirloin steak well matured frying
tonight well we will dine.

sweet songs from birds singing
greeting the morning sun.
bay mare with mane flowing
chases after the dun.

Mighty trees with branches swaying
give sheltering...

Standing head and shoulders 
Above seated students
Professing all he knows
And much he doesn't
Through squeaky chalk
Bored with lessons learned
Tattered black jacket collar
Covered with white dust
Like the dandruff 
Of  faded knowledge
Waiting for the last bell
And cacophony...
