Premium Member Irish Farewell
O'Rourke has left Ireland with all he owns in a knapsack. He is going to America with sunshine at his back. The Irish soil is dotted with potatoes now turned black. O'Rourke has left Ireland and he is never coming back. Amongst the rotting potatoes, a seed has begun to sprout. On the stem shall a four leaf clover grow,...

I got tired of losing So much goddamn losing Losing friends homes Hobbies Moving to new towns and cities Familiar faces of people I never met Those who lived for years in the same place They had their cliques They got each other’s jokes They knew what was on the next page Mr. Jones down at the corner store knew them all by name The bus driver...

Premium Member Potatoes In a Pretty Blue Dish
The potatoes are cooling in a pretty blue dish. Looking like hillside stones or sleeping piglets. While waiting for the litter to cool off. I thought about the many wars being fought... On our beautiful blue planet of the newly forsaken. Millions of innocent lives selfishly taken. How much money and time have been wasted. Lobbing bombs into robin egg...

Premium Member Potatoes Forever If You Ask Me
My favorite vegetable is a potato I will eat it fried, filleted, with salt and pepper. Bring me butter That won’t be enough Some people add cheese. I am not interested in that, unless it is cheddar shaved, on the top of sour cream and chives. Yes, I love a baked potato loaded and potatoes scalloped I adore French fries, also made from...

Couch Potatoes
Couch potatoes never see the light, Seldom produce real potatoes, Or much else that is palatable. They leave switches on 24 seven, And don't know what is the purpose of an off switch, Resulting in bed sores, Though they seldom get as far as the bed. It is only the sight of grandchildren, That is likely to shift them, Into second gear,...

Premium Member Mole Finds His Eyes and Plants Potatoes
Mole would have been a gardener, but he just couldn’t see. He was consigned to dig and dig and wander aimlessly. But then a woodland faerie popped him upon the snout, gave him a bulbous brownish thing, told him to let it sprout. She said, when you can feel the shoots, then cut it into chunks, and bury them deep in the ground, and wait a...

Ursai's Plunder
Words of evening she speaks To him I act if I don't know There in secret places Is where they wish to go Mornings were I labor most To be neat and clean She wholloes beneath him To be spiteful and mean Yeah than when separation Is the antidote I am all he has It's when I mean As much Love of Mendini by Mukhon Strativerous Sexy Compositions Meatus Arrangements Compositions...

What Finishes First Diminishes
The things we replenish, Before they finish First of all diminish… They don’t really vanish Like in the stories we varnish: And with it The Truth punish… The nice savored dish Chefs superbly garnish, Not forgetting to be stylish, We demolish fast And cause give to not last: A–Once-Obvious like Steely Mast. Still, it doesn’t vanish What progresses to a finish: My tea ever always British My potatoes all the...
