Would a snack-happy
happy snacker
with a snacky itch to scratch
be a happy snacker
if he snacked a happy snack
such as a happy cracker
or could there be a catch
as it was not enough
healthy happy snacky stuff
and he'd need something to munch
with a much more succulent crunch
a Grannie Smith or Golden Delic'
a happy snack-like pick
happily snackily
should really do the trick

The world too much occupied his mind
left no room for things mundane
busy with intrigues of state and such
from deep feelings he resolutely abstained
So it was on that triumphant day he’d predicted
his country’s president’s assassination
he absent-mindedly fed into the shredder
his only daughter’s wedding invitation

there was an old man named Munch
who decided on a tryst over brunch
he thought he met the girl of his dreams
she let out a scream
and he said my dear I have something to paint over lunch

And leaving all else, they debate on lunch.
To one, lunch time was waste, hence, break-less munch.
The other felt, lunch-less
Would no new glory bless
To UK, nor hoary
Return to old glory,
Lunch is a place mid-stream--
Island to which all swim,
If cooler breaks are fine,
Need for lunch-break’s genuine,
For, from stomachs come working peoples’ punch.

Poet’s note: The prime minister and the leader of opposition are usually at logger heads, and British parliament is no exception. A few days back they exchanged their verbal punches on lunch and need to break for it. No doubt, no lunch is free--at home nor work nor anywhere, still…. This ditty is in full favour of lunchbreaks that refuel and decompress.

Mauricio, the merry moose
in Lanny Locke’s garden let loose.
He munched on mulberries,
chips, chestnuts and cherries.
The produce he poached was profuse!
His cousin, Carol the cute caribou
consumed cucumber, cabbage and cashews;
and Kory the cute koala
wandered down from Walla Walla
bringing broccoli, beans and barbecue!

Munch Red & White*
a perfect pictorial delight
An allegory of types of love some say
look&make of what you may
Categories:

Romantically symbolic for sure
Munch's metaphor takes the floor
here in the Dance of Life*
so many are especially rife

Violinist Eva Mudocci
appears in the 'Brooch'* as you can see
One of many of his models
perhaps they were cuddled as well

The 'Voice-Summer night'*
Edvard Munch first love at sight
Milly ever on his mind
a dalliance of the romantic kind

Edvard Munch's work often neurotic
His 'Madonna'* is much more specific
A typical recurring theme
the artist's extrovert dream

looking down
visionary
of earthly
life
mysterious
in every detail
a lonely genius
mused
by fierce
inspirations
tearing
imaginations asunder
visions
abstracted
delicate
of a willing mind
art
so sublime
prolific
persistent
intense obtuse
picturing
nature's scream
trembling anxiety
expressed of a dream
an hallucinatory
single inflection
to give some meaning
to life

The bite was a crunch.
So wonderful!
One's teeth could do that kind of thing.
Some later bites, performed with age,
cause pain, so awful, so dreadful!
One's bites can do that kind of thing.
But what was peel,
that part of the crunch and the munch?
Peeled off now, and thrown away.
Yet apples remain apples,
taste remains taste.
What is this thing called ever?

Behold the bather astride the river,
resplendent in rainbow-dappled nudity
his sense of light and air and wetness
ebbs and flows like his emotions,
colors shift and swirl in response
to the universe of his creativity.
