I would like peanut butter macaroni and cheese please.
And some tasty mice on my hamburger if it is not too much trouble.
The pancakes should have dollops of garbage and limburger cheese.
He will have a bowl of oatmeal, his mother said, on the double.
The waitress had six children of her own, so she understood well.
With a side of cartwheel and unicorns? She asked the four-year-old.
He was immediately in love, thought she was totally swell.
She could do not wrong now, this mother with a heart of gold.

hurry winter snow;
falling, fall white silver snow;
atop the trees grounds
~
falling ever down;
covering the walks and roads;
hurry snow, snow, Snow

Three sweeteners please
And add two packets of sugar
A dab of caramel silk and two shots of chocolate milk.
The woman glared at me.
This is McDonald’s she said, not a Starbucks.
You want all that in lemon tea?
Never mind, I said, feeling foolish.
I forgot that I had finally decided on tea instead of coffee.
The rest of the people in line moaned their displeasure as I left.

To prove we haven’t given up,
We order things online
Since objects meant for future use
Imply that we are fine.
A sweet dessert, a case of beer
Or scotch or gin or wine
Can elevate our kitchen meals
To ones at which we dine.
Some nitrile gloves, a spiffy mask
Of chic and cool design
Remind us that to safety
While in style we can incline.
A buzzing insect’s gotten in?
To Amazon, assign
The sending of a swatter
So that fly will toe the line.
For every penny that we spend
Is proof that we still pine
For a future that our purchases
May somehow thus define.

And...
I need 24 quarts of 2% milk;
Okay, "6 gallons of milk!"
No, sir, I want 24 quarts, it stays fresher that way!
But lady we only have that in Silk.
Then I want twenty four plastic containers,
Will you pick them up all in blue;
And then divide up those six gallons,
Just like I want you to do.
Well, I must ask my supervisor,
For I am very confused,
We don't usually offer that service,
I must ask and get back to you.
[I can put quarts up in my freezer;
Those big gallons just don't fit.
Then I can feed my kittens one at a time;
It just takes a little bit.
How many kittens do I have?
I thought you would never ask.
I have 48 on my property;
I'm known of the lady of cats.
