Before the virus came
My family and I would
Go to Italian Restaurant
My favourite entree
Is always mussels
Only as an entree
On special occasions
This dish is served
in different ways
My choice cooked
in white wine
Or in an oyster sauce
Either way its served
I knew I will enjoy
I believe in the
power of the mighty one
the stronger he is
my weighed prows
mussels throbbing sweating
the stronger is he
what does sea have..
to do with the muscles I...
hold up mighty arm

Cockles and Mussels In Brussels
The women wore trusses after having tussles;
They were embarrassed thinking that Brussels;
Did survive;
Came alive,
Only city that can serve cockles with mussels.
(Actually it was London fair city.)

Balloons can be rolled like balls in halls. But only halls that measure over sixty feet in diameter would ever please a pamplemoose. Pample mooses are appetisers in buffets so they must all run and hide in the cave now. And they can take that great big cow with them. All she does is moo moo moo anyway. Nonsensical nothing. Murmured. With gestures. Practised gestures. And facial movements rehearsed in field fickle frameworks. And frameworks are neither fracking nor fictitious in origin so go pollute the water then drink drink drink. Nice to dunk biscuits into an array if chemicals. Pleasant. Pheasant says so then collapses. No ha no x and no z now. Economically.
BROILED GREENSHELL MUSSELS
Two pound box half shell mussels
From Asian store.
Crushed garlic, brown with butter
Combine lemon juice
Pour it on mussels
Broil, served hot
Yum!
