Xavier and Marilda
His wonderful wizardly was well-known in the glen
Xavier, was more talented than most of his kin
His enchantments could weasel under your skin
Making you fat, angry, happy, or sometimes too thin
Xavier resided at the beastly bordello, Cats Eye Inn
The scrumptiously tasty food there should be a sin
He dated Marilda, who was an identical twin
Her spells were legendary, most of them a true win.

Pizza
Oh pizza, oh pizza
You are so piping hot,
That I would gobble you up right on the spot.
Oh pizza, oh pizza
You're so sticky and gooey,
And so scrumptiously chewy.
Oh pizza, oh pizza
You are such a delicious food,
And always put me in a great mood.
Oh pizza, oh pizza
Rather it's pepperoni, mushrooms, or ham,
You are the great I Am!
Oh pizza, oh pizza
How wonderful you taste!
I don't care if you go to my waist.
Oh pizza, oh pizza
I love you so much,
That I'll eat you for breakfast, dinner or lunch.

Daddy Bears Pancakes
Mama Bear is not their choice to bake
She tries to make pancake, but they flop
If you want a delicious golden pancake
You wake up Papa Bear, whose batter is the top!
He adds all this crazy stuff like cinnamon, sugar too
and it is super scrumptiously delicious when he is through!
Baby Bear follows along behind his Dad catching the ones he flips
So far he has not dropped one, it is a fabulous trip!

A Pickle Party
Let’s all bring our mortar and pestle
And have a party of great papaya pickle
We call this a famous Thai ‘’som tum”
So delicious! Heavenly awesome!
Let’s first wear our kitchen attire
Dance the Thai music, don’t be shy
Then prepare all the somtum ingredients
For superb taste, a hundred percent.
Main is fresh green papaya, shredded thinly
Raw string beans, chopped evenly
Dried shrimps, fish sauce, limes and lots of chili
Tomatoes, peanuts and crabs smashed heavily.
Yummy somtum is always served with sticky rice
Paired with fried chicken—get more, twice, thrice…
A long table party, others can sit on a mat
While enjoying somtum scrumptiously hot!

We Recruit a New Mayor
Seven applied for the position of traveling mayor.
Glorious sunrise shined upon the eager new applicants.
Welcome splurge of information came forth rather quickly.
We appoint watchers to take notes on contenders.
Spit dribble out of a mouth twice –ugh!
The concept of napkin never entered his mind?
A divorce does not affect your chances anymore.
The highway of life is freer these days.
To clarify, this event is the starting place.
No protest of unfairness will be tolerated here.
We recruit people as far away as Nebraska.
Old Officer Farley is our most intense interviewer.
The charity of strangers brings food for breakfast.
Try chicken and waffles it is scrumptiously delicious.
The address on our resume’ should be current.
A reform of the application is not tolerated.
This edition is the tradition we always use.
How shallow or deep, words are your choice.
The crystal decanter is full of lemonade now.
Just another mayor race in our fair city.

Surprise Birthday Trip Destination
Sarah, for your birthday, I do not want to ruin the surprise,
So put on your mask, and here is a blinder to cover your eyes.
I will give you hints as we get on our private fumigated plane.
Of course your mother is waiting, and she will do the same.
We will have a menu that has Belgium chocolates I can't hide.
They will be scrumptiously delicious, and taste juicy inside.
You may order hot chocolate with a shot of caramel and Nutella.
There will be some pretty hot guys, and maybe a particular fella.
Please do not guess yet, watch your feet as I guide you up the steps.
There are protein shakes, brownies, flavored lattes, sprinkled flecks.
An extra shot of expresso? I do not see why not, Sarah Dear.
Yes the destination café might be coming abundantly clear.
Sit beside your mother and do not guess out loud.
She has told me all about you; she is insanely proud.
No doubt there will be scones, muffins, and a sandwich of the day.
Come on pilot, get the engine started. We are ready to play!

There Is a Poem
There is a poem
Dangling,
Unappreciated,
Just hanging there.
On our November,
A Thanking,
Loving,
Pumpkin.
Perhaps poor poetry;
But scrumptiously odiferous,
Dangling
Unappreciated,
But hanging there today anyway.
Happy Thanksgiving!.

Pickled Herring In a Pie
Pickled herring in a pie?
Scrumptiously delicious. Do or die?
The idea makes me ask grandma why….
Do you use wheat or rye?
Marmalade makes it a great buy.
The combination is easy to try.
Mustard too and will we need to fry
Pickled herring in a pie?

Waiter
Waiter please bring me some wine.
Then you may take your time
to bring me food that is divine.
Waiter, I'll tell you what I feel.
I would like a marvelous meal.
Can you tell me what's the deal?
Waiter from The Cat in the Hat.
Can you tell me where it's at?
Remember I don't eat fat.
Waiter bring me something lean.
Fish perhaps with loads of greens.
Home cooked, not from a machine.
Waiter I have given in.
To hell with trying to be thin.
My chances were already slim.
Waiter, I can no longer hide it
I'll have some pudding I've decided.
With lots of cream beside it.
Waiter you have served me well.
That meal was scrumptiously swell.
You're good at this, I can tell.
Waiter please bring me my bill.
I best leave as I'm hungry still.
Can I pay up at the till?
