Because of you
we can get up every morning
and go to work
run errands at lunch time
drive through McDonald’s
fill up our gas tanks
and make it back to work
just in time

But we’ve still got turkey by the pound,
So the question now becomes,

Turkey chili with lots of beanies,
Turkey chow mein,

Upon profound or inane topics to propound our views.
So, it occured to me how baffling the English language could be,
To new arrivals to our shores...

Catfish I love is on a plate
	with tartar sauce, french fries, and slaw;
	but I despise the type that trolls

Christmas meant a party
At the company club.
It was fun guessing whose dad 
Would dress up as Santa Claus.

As we gathered, the carols played
And one by one, chaperones led
Unwilling boys to blushful girls
We had to dance,...

At a dinner so late,
Felt like weights on my eyes,
I scarfed down a sandwich
And crispy hot fries.

Along with fresh coffee,

For fries are a mainstay
That keep me alive.

But next to my sandwich
And cole...

Tediously bored, Sir Drake
Prolonged afternoon of tea and cakes
Jam coats his chin with gooey paste
A beard of crumbs hangs from his face
His manner somewhat hard to grasp
Small fingers smother giddy laughs.

To sup he’d need...

Oh, take me to the bucket in the sky,
where smells of fast food cooking tantalize -
a poultry paradise where no birds fly,
but come instead with biscuits, slaw, or fries . . .

The fillet was supposed to be boneless
but it wasn't
It caught me off guard, midmeal.
Between bites of slaw and baked potato
It wedged in the top of my whiskered throat
there was the palest form of panic,

A plate of deep-fried chicken,
Slaw and greens and ice-cold beer
Did provide the perfect harmony
For what we came to hear.

When the blues is on the menu,
Southern fare is de rigueur
And the biscuits, honey-buttered,
Only added to the...

The diner had amazing deals
For us to have for lunch – 
But first, a bowl of cole slaw
With some pickles, too, to munch.

Then lots to choose from – sandwiches,
Paninis, salads, platters
Preceded by a bowl of...
