Missy Sue

Missy Sue makes malted milk shakes
and she savors marmalade,
macaroons and snickerdoodles
and sweet souffles she has made.

Sue is messy slicing melons,
strawberries and mangoes too.
Sue munches seeds and celery sticks.
She mixes meats, making stew.

Milk chocolate -mouth-watering,
sweet and marvelously mild -
satisfies Missy Sue
mainly if it is Swiss styled!

The Same As Yesterday

“You’ve been married for 35 years!” 
a young couple asked an old couple on their anniversary.
“That’s amazing…That’s so great!”
“After 35 years together…how will you celebrate?”

Then this old couple, who in their 35 years together
had grown old and gray…held hands, smiled at one another
and said…“The same as yesterday!”

“I almost lost him years ago.” The old woman said.
“And we decided from that date…every day we wake up together…
is a day to celebrate.”

“It may sound corny…or boring…a little dull…perhaps cliché
but why would we wait for once a year…when we can celebrate every day?”

We learned a valuable lesson from that old couple…
How we don’t have to wait…
How every day that we’re together…is a day to celebrate.”

Now, after 35 years…we’re that old couple
who together have grown old and gray…
who, when asked how we intend to celebrate
say…“The same as yesterday.”

In case you’re wondering how we celebrated
another day together we have reached…
It was with grouper nuggets, she crab soup…
followed by a vanilla malted and chocolate milk shake
together…at the beach.

What If

What if 

Taking a puff of smoke 
Do I stop my words for you 
Last taste of my drink malted with feelings and emotions 
Do I stop my words for you 
Under the tree at night when they talk to each other chi cha 
Tune of my friends 
Do you stop my words for you
In the long drive when she ask I love you 
Do you stop my words for you
Death is near count is bend back 
Do you think my words for you 
Is not called in life that I am a poet...... Om......... Maa 


With love all

Sorry Did I Wake You

I want a malted milk.
Would it be mean to wake up my husband?
He could also make me a little ham and cheese omelet.
He cooks better than I ever did.

I debate for a few minutes.
Knowing it is a mean thing to do.
But wanting that malted milk.
I have tried to make them, mine are flat.
His are sweet and rich.

I begin making a bunch of noise in the kitchen.
Patter. Patter. Here he comes with the dogs.
Oh, sorry, I lie. Did I wake you?
What do you want? He asks. Coffee?
He makes better coffee than I do too.

For Lovers of Ale

That amber liquid far from insipid
Like molten honey but drawn from a tap,
Bitter or dark, the choices quite stark,
God's malted ale, nature's true sap.

Vikings grew strong, strengthened their bond,
Giving them courage for mayhem galore,
A beer in their hand, they pillaged the land
Never quite feeling tired or sore.

The Celts used for curing, Egyptians for luring
Their gods from the heavens bribed to partake,
The English just drank as their water so stank,
Beer their solution to gulp for life's sake.

Wine lovers admit that their glass needs
be sipped
While describing aromas of berries and earth,
No such constraint, nor need for restraint
For drinkers of ale are freewheeling from birth.

So let raise a jug or a frothy filled mug
While watching a game and eating junk food,
Nothing is wetter, more luscious and better
Than a cold tasty beer when expertly brewed.

Pretzel Rods

The corner candy store displayed,
On the counter next to where you paid,
Tall pretzel rods, two cents a pop,
In a glass container with a top.

They were often added to a bill – 
Toss some pretzels in, please, if you will –
Or were ordered by a kid who’d planned,
His pennies clutched in a sweaty hand.

But the best was sitting on a stool,
On a Saturday or after school,
With your mom who’d let you have a treat – 
A vanilla malted, cold and sweet.

It was served within the silver cup
Which the owner’d used to mix it up
With a pretzel rod included, free;
There was no place I would rather be.

The sweet of sugar, tang of salt
Combined with the vanilla malt
Made taste buds squeal with pure delight
With each and every sip and bite.

Holy Renaissance -

Silhouettes of darkened places 
Busy going nowhere so fast 
But you have to be somewhere at last 
Instant eyes microscopic  chocolate rice 
We now have synthetic blue ice
I believe we come a long way
Places, homes now building the day 
It took God 6 days to create the universe 
It took God 6 days to create the universe
HE too rested after all love these works 
Washed His hands of the dirt 
Somewhere I've read 
We are just filthy rags 
Lighted passenger I'm traveling in a twinkling of an eye beams of light shining bright 
Someone forgot to invite all the poor 
All the boys and girls 
Where they're going to eat and sleep tonight 
Hungry for Hunger sake
Wish they had a malted milkshake
I am not promised today 
But if I were a gambler I say 
But if I talked to my Father 
Be on the altar 
But if I talked to my Father be on the altar 
I'll be back with him instantly no not tomorrow
I'll be with him today I am with Him now even in my sorrow

Golden Oldies

Dimes drop, records begin to drop
Rhythm to stroll,  jivin’ to hip hop
Slow to jitterbug,  boogaloo  to rock
Twistin’ Chubby and rock around the clock

The Platters sing, you hold her close
Eye to eye, love’s first dose
Beach Boys up next, time to surf
Steppin’ on toes, unmarked turf.

Malted shakes, pie a-la-mode
Checker board floors, tempo has slowed
Roadsters lined up, sweethearts in style
Stompin’ to the beat, no one’s idle

Jail house rock and shake rattle and roll
At the hop, then on to the stroll
Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry’s pickin’
Mack the knife rocks, Rock-in Robin kickin’

‘Ramblin Rose’, and ‘Good golly Miss Moly’
Dion’s ‘Run around Sue’, turn around now with Buddy Holly
Step in to ‘Shimmy shimmy Ko Ko Pop’
More dimes roll, keep rockin’ till you drop

In a Diner

The menu: a dozen slick pages.
The venue: wood tables and chairs.
From breakfast to dinner
You’ll never get thinner
With food that a diner prepares.

The choices: from eggs to paninis.
The voices: from hushed to guffaws.
There’s no place instead
I would rather break bread
And the answer to why? is because…

It’s a place meant for every consumer
With the space to relax and to schmooze.
Never fancy or rich
It’s a restaurant which
Serves you coffee, a malted or booze.

You can keep all your Michelin ratings
And those steeply exorbitant bills.
Slap a sandwich and fries
Down in front of my eyes
In a diner – for me, that fulfills.

Confectionates Hurt Teeth Here In My Mouth Twenty Below

CONFECTIONATES  Hurt Teeth Here In My Mouth Twenty Below
 
My teeth are bitter cold
Aching so much so
Bit down on a red pop-cycle
After inhaling mint malted butter brickle
Nasal dip tried chocolate chip
So cold outside can't feel my face
What sense does it make 
It's below 28 degree
Aching so much so
It's cold outside why am I
This doesn't make any sense
Eating all these confectionates
It's winter, snowing and  twenty below zero
Frostbit, frozen lips, hurt teeth here at twenty below

Piece of Cake Want Some

I want a taste
Of the piece of cake
But the frosting now dry logged
Left the top off now the flavors gone
Threw the remains in the washing machine with bleach
Made a malted shake when looking at my blurred image
You want some you wanna a taste

Dragon's Milk

Dragon’s milk, will I not breathe out flames?
A malted stout, so kind in taste, so brave.
I wonder at its caramel color, glass shines.
Coddling you kine brew, til the last dark drop!

Lies

On the scene burning hotter than a blazing flame surrounded by painted walls shield in myth . Faces fraud not dipped in the light of truth . Matched by ignorance unseen by those near hints of fake as I walk flaming with burning truth malted in my gaze but gaudy in eyes covered with pain to shame to lift there true face to day . Glade with lies that trun heads in wonder baffled in mazes of problems made by foolish deeds . Needed something juicy with lips poisoned with dripping venom . Crafty by nature yet burned in blazing fires forces lies to burn down . Walls void near ashes because fraud in blazing truth is tested in laid to ashes . Authentic near golden in blazes burn high near sun hot eclipsed days in light of truths true power . Uncovered in shame seen in light made to see , thought of has a fool to see .

Anima the Embellisher

Anima balances Animus
In a dance of fathomless rhythm
The hangover reaches the consciousness
The cherry tree goes on blossoming spree beside the sea
I find myself delving deep with the emotions by her hands set free

In the warmly maternal hearth
Are my malted moments of mystic mirth
Never any dearth in perceiving the coffee cup held up  
Anima has at all times been most pleasurably giving birth 
To a variety of rain and thunder in an awesomely good earth

Anima is generous in beckoning under her brackish breath
A momentary death underneath is euphoric in its affinitive depth
