Premium Member In the Eyes of a Cougar

In the eyes of a cougar


she purrs like an old kitten
plays with young ones mittens
is of a bigger scale of a cat
loves the bone of young fat

her movements stealth
has good range of health
eyes a moving
for any oaks a grooving

she follows the trail
to a sweet colt's tail
hunkering down 
without any sound

the scent rises to thirst
her insides near burst
she speeds on 
before it's gone

the call of the wild
isn't so mild
she plays with her prey
hearing him neigh

that's a good sound 
being unwound
to the highest pitch
filling her niche

the colt is small but big
she braces a swig
her eyes a water
at her new found trotter


echo's the cougar's fight
at the young'ins sight
back to her cave
for more rave

She Would Be Queen

She would be queen, oh if indeed she could
   after all, she's been where others stood.
So in control of e-mail trolls
   she believes herself far better in the know.
The queenly rule is not just a presentable display
   as her silent king makes hanky panky in the hay.
She's stern and forceful, once secretary of state
   keeping her close inner secrets on her plate.
A pantsuit-wearing globe-trotter
   with a desired rule set on her blotter.
But be sure she can be over cautious
   quite averse to taking risk for fear of losses.
Negotiate she did and will
   but haven't we already taken the same  bitter pill?
Too many historic clans 
   hold the path to freedom's stand
Just two hundred years have come
   the dynasty and monarchy never seems undone
They return and take control again
   and to the power  throne ascend.

Where Did He Go

Where did he go? 
The young man of height and charm, 
with a pleasant mien and a love of women, 
who would often give to him far than he deserved....

When was it he perished? 
This young and careless man 
who flew freely into a war zone, 
to a city of grace under siege by evil, 
where death was sudden, random, quiet--
if you heard the explosion, 
then you knew you were whole....

Where did he go? 
This dauntless globe trotter, 
landing in one country with
only a few bucks, yet unworried: 
he knew, just knew he'd find a job,
make friends, be all right.... 
Once in Tokyo he held a 100 yen coin 
in his hand, all the money he had 
in this vast, indifferent world, and smiled, 
the way only youth can smile, 
as old age is still an abstract, 
a foreign land of little interest.

And so the old man ate the young man 
as the old long have devoured youth
since life burst forth in an empty world. 

In truth though, it was only my old body 
that subsumed the godlike one that once 
carried my soul in this world of light and 
darkness and but four dimensions....

Now the mirror shows me an old man 
but it's a trick! I am sure it is, for 
I know the young man is hiding within--
he, me, I am twenty-four, 
only 24 years old and I do not ever age, 
not since, well, I was twenty-four....

You can laugh, I don't care, 
for I am young and will always be young, 
in this life, and I guess 
in the next one too....

Premium Member Swinging Pig Tall Tale

I’m upset with smug Peter Pig
Who’d promised we could dance a jig
But spies my bent trotter
Gets nasty - the rotter
I call him an ignorant prig!

I’ve got a disability
But nothing will ever stop me
I’m a feisty young sow
So I'll never kowtow
Swing dancing makes me so happy

How quickly I'd learned how to dance -
Six lessons from my cousin Lance
When I dance Lindy Hop
I just don’t want to stop 
My dancing may lead to romance

Young Percy took me by the hand
Well trotter; but you’ll understand
When we danced the pig jive
He made me feel alive
We’re dating now, life is just grand!

Premium Member Trotter's Gulch

Old Caleb Trotter had great plans for his town in Colorado.
For years he'd roamed the Rockies, finally finding his El Dorado!
He discovered glittering gold that would surely make him flush!
He founded Trotter's Gulch and soon there was a frenzied rush!

Cabins were built on plots that prospective miners selected.
Why, there was even a school and three churches were erected!
'Twas a bawdy place with the usual brawls and seedy saloons.
Soiled doves and gamblers invaded the town by platoons!

Time moved on and Caleb established a general store,
Figuring that the mining game wasn't for him anymore.
He made his fortune catering shovels, overalls and boots,
To hard-rock prospectors and other such galoots!

The population reached ten thousand and showed great potential.
It boasted a railroad station and other services essential.
It included three undertakers, five blacksmiths and ten preachers,
Four doctors, two newspapers and twelve well-respected teachers!

Alas, the pay dirt around Trotter's Gulch soon petered out.
The future of the town was left very much in doubt.
'Twas soon abandoned and another ghost town was born.
'Tis no longer on the map - it now lies desolate and forlorn!

Piggy Porky Perfection

However you dress...compress these clever creatures…

More not less..whenever features...success..

To be Francis...what about Bacon…

Salty...naughty.. fatty flavour to savour.. 

Doing each dish a favour...a porky saviour…

Get a hard on from a lardon..

What’s much better than pancetta…

Peck at a fleshy fleck of top deck speck…

Unctuous umami tsunami of salami

Or sumptuous faux porky pastrami

Cheeky paprika glow of chorizo....

Stellar slivers of cast a spell mortadella..

Good black pud under your hood..

Nose to tail...ear to rear.. or is it snout to trotter…

Crackling…the beast stripped...skin ripped....snipped…

Flipped..dipped in oil.. every pleat..even the teet…

Shed so we can be fed...feast on this tasty treat..

Iberian beauties run riot...born on a diet of sun…

Acorn not lawn..torn and shorn…blushing crimson ****..

Like brawn... did spawn…locavore dawn..

Lovely legs adorn...above sherry kegs with wooden taps.  …

Such handsome chaps…costs a King’s ransom..

Melt..fat flavour pelt...despite the prices..

Sublime svelte slices...loosen your belt..

Utterly buttery aficionado bravado..

Smuttery lah dee dah Lardo…

Richer than avocado sluttery...

Let's dine on divine porcine...

On reflection.. my selection…

Confection of pastry..piggy perfection... 

Naked ingenuity in perpetuity... 

The humble but venerable pork pie..

Premium Member The World and Lifestyle of a Tycoon

He sure enjoys 
his life of Reilly; 
lavishly living it up! 
A globe-trotter. 
A man-about-town. 
He's a big hit 
with the ladies, 
and he doesn't mind 
all the attention. 
He's a big spender. 
Did I mention 
he's got style, too? 
An unlit Cuban cigar 
is always seen dangling 
from his mouth. 
He's not a smoker, 
it's for the look. 
He's fashion-savvy, 
collecting Rolex watches, 
ray ban sunglasses, 
fedora hats, 
and Versace suits. 
He loves his cars 
costly and fast; 
a Porsche here, 
a Lamborghini there 
On weekends, 
he sets sail 
on his fancy yacht, 
flying high 
on his private jet. 
He kills time 
on the golf course 
hitting the links 
with millionaire friends, 
throwing parties, 
and showing off 
his trophy wife 
His escargot dinners 
are always served 
on high-end china. 
He swigs champagne 
from crystal. 
Oh, what a life!

Beryl Markham 1902 - 1986

British-born Kenyan
adventureress globe-trotter
one of the first bush pilots
aviatrix authoress game-spotter
a woman before her time
through and through
who had simultaneous affairs
with Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester
(son of George V)
his older brother Edward, Prince of Wales
(later Edward VIII)
and Denys Finch Hatton too
the Kenya Derby a six-time winner
as an unrivaled thoroughbred racehorse trainer
whom my Dad at EAR&H well knew
as whenever she was able
it was he she would speak to
regarding rail transport of her stable
in 1936 she was the first female
to fly against the wind
let's set the record straight
to get it right
the Atlantic Ocean non-stop solo
from east to west with the night

Homage to Fromage


Any foodie on the brink

Of getting moody thinks

Of the dear dairy panacea 

Culinary kinks

Cultural links

Gourmet high jinx


Where the nods & the winks

Go to the food of the Gods

The sexy minx that really stinks


A noble global endeavour

Palette caged by a rare

Cave aged Gruyere


Arty farty dolcelatte party

Comte & cheddar

Smutty nutty double header


Camembert flair

Prouder of Gouda

Stilton to share

Or louder Parmesan fan 

Even when it’s powder?


Aristocratic blue vein

More a Roquefort sort

Or St Augur holds court

Emphatic stench & stain


Tester of Red Leicester

What's better than Feta

Double Gloucester no imposter

Boursin or St Paulin on the roster


Snarl if there's no emmental

Pecorino the Ferrari Dino

Halloumi whispers consume me


New coup for Exmoor blue

Hail the tale of Wensleydale

Willy nilly grab a slab of Philly

Wealthier folks say Philadelphia 

On the grounds sounds healthier


Right now is Ricotta somehow hotter

Or creamy dreamy Burrata smarter

Kowtow to Yarg from Celtic Kernow

Homage to fromage global trotter


Whatever floats your boat

High roller Gorgonzola

Maybe Goat gets your vote 

Or those in the know

Gloat..chose sheep & Manchego


Young or well hung

Given time in the cellar

Yippee glee of smelly brie

But won’t sneer at Paneer

Mozzarella can be stellar


Even give a damn about Madame Edam

Stringy Raclette the best bet yet  

Or the goo of Fondue more you

Can't sledge a wedge of Old Amsterdam


Primula still familiar

Wary of the not rated

Scary squirting lube 

You squeeze with ease

Flirting fairy out of a tube

Ill fated.. hated pre grated 

Diced into a nice cube


Drastic or fantastic vices 

Chose those plastic elastic slices

Could plea for some Dairy Lea 

Fell under that Babybel spell

Or pray tell a stash of well maybe

Laughing cow oui Le Vache qui Rit

Premium Member The Rooster

I am no woebegone capon peon
for forks and knives to come upon,
no, I am a busy rooster father
in serious need of a duty roster
to ensure my hens and chicks prosper.
I cannot falter as enemy spotter,
I must sound my distinctive alarm
when a predator intends us harm.
I also work hard watching the yard
and any rooster with a cocky saunter
who nears with intentions to conquer
will soon leave as a featherless trotter!
My hens depend on my blend of clucks
to direct them where food is stuck.
As an indispensable rooster general
who keeps up with so much busy stuff,
I am unable to relax nearly enough.
If my nap roosting suffers too many gaps,
I may suffer a sentinel general collapse!
It would be incredible if now and again
I received some gratitude from the hens ….
