It’s orange; it’s yellow; it’s white; it’s sweet.
It’s baked or boiled; it’s mashed or fried.
It’s served with poultry, with fish or with meat.

I love to cook, and I have for you
three...

Now who entrusted an ugly octopus
with the pretty plaid pocketbook?

An eight arm six-finger crook
crawling up the vault wall
is such a dirty, filthy lucre look

Those pretty piggy bank pennies
are no-account disappearing
And them buxom chicks bouncy checks

Potato chip, I love you up,
my darling little buttercup.

A cup! A Reese’s chocolate one
with peanut butter. Oh, what fun!

What fun is time with nacho chips;

Super humans don't exist, at least that's what I thought until I met an
Intelligent person in my classmate when we were just three.

how should I devour you
Eat it raw with Tabasco sauce
chopped in a salad freshly toss
Fry it but how over-easy is fun
sunny side up but don't want it...

And placed a tidy white petunia on the table.
She brought grits and gravy with hickory smoked bacon,
Then flipped a western omelet on a bed of crisp hash browns.

Some folks like their food real spicy;
Others lean towards bland.
Oftentimes the piquancy
Is not what you had planned.

There are those who favor bitter;
Many savor sweet.
Recipes that call for both
Are where the twain shall meet.

Certain people would...

with your beautiful smile

gentle laughter at daybreak

Slowly has pricked love's joy until now gone
Tedious the effort to time appoint
Verbiage to one who speaks from heart of stone
