sizzling potato pancakes
flipped, browned and crispy
sour cream and applesauce topped
served with broiled sausage
spicy italian
sip red wine

Fat babies are so cute
Gobbling up applesauce with
Soggy milked cheeks

Giggling with silly faces we make
Munching on every animal
In the jungle of crackers

Only to stick 
Chubbied fingers out far
To intake more...

I just went to my work's Christmas party 
I got drunk on some rum with Bacardi 
Told my boss, to go get lost 
Said, "I'm the boss, Applesauce" 
Then, she fired me for being a smarty

Pristine blank page,
please rouse most sage
to open wide,
no time to hide
the applesauce
dabbled across
my graying chin.
Endings begin

to manifest
beyond our quest
as consequence
provokes events
in frantic spin
to obscure sin:
a grounded arc
within the dark....

Breakfast begins with out a care
 Waffles and applesauce
 Thats what love is
 This mourning here with you
 I just reminisced 
Our first kiss
 And this mourning
 It's applesauce to you
 And just because
 I hit life's pause
 I now give sauce
 And it's because 
Of the things you do...

Most apples don't fall far from the tree 

Although that's not what happened to me 

In the blink of an eye 

I wound up in a pie

Just one more tart in a bakery 


As a dessert I was quite the boss 

And was peeled with a minimal loss

The rest dropped to the floor 

From the stem to the core

Well at least I wasn't applesauce...

I just went to my work's Christmas party 
I got drunk on some rum with Bacardi 
Told my boss, to go get lost 
Said, "I'm the boss, Applesauce" 
Then, she fired me for being a smarty 

I went home, told my wife, I retired 
She said, "don't lie...I know you were fired" 
Said, Applesauce...I'm the boss 
Never tell me...to get lost 
Now go back- 'cause you've just been rehired...

Wandering with the wind
Blowing me with the tall grasses I walk
Settling upon the blue asters
Resting my soul on a bench
Among the voices around me
Birds, frogs, geese
No money in sight or sound
Oppression part of no vocabulary
In woods or prairies
Just the joy of homemade applesauce
And herbs
Gathered in the wild
Nurturing life
Everywhere the wind lives

Everywhere

The

Wind

Lives

Rainbow trout, rainbow trout so long and stout
Dancing at the end of my curved small hook
So excited I'll jump round and shout
Then for handsome baby Johnny I'll cook

Green-eyed baby Johnny will dine just fine
He will have applesauce on his left side
Hushpuppies fried, grapes from garden's vine
Then slowly to sleepy-land he will glide

It could start with a wish
A wish to be away
Away from work
So you start to dream
What if...
I wonder…
Then your mind wonders
It could start with a leaf
A leaf on a beanstalk
A giant beanstalk that Jack climbed
So you try to focus
What did I miss…
I don’t get it…
Then you go back to dreaming
It could start with caramel
A caramel apple
Maybe applesauce
And then the bell rings
Time to get you head out of the clouds...

She evens the score:
a spoonful of applesauce meant for the mouth
hits the floor.

She's famous for a lack of aplomb,
applesauce -- a time bomb.

She gives you the dropsies,
objects that fly, no reason why.

Scary thoughts that come unbidden,
hers alone.  I will not own.

Crossing Nora? Don't try it.
You'll live to decry it.

She's whatever haunts you,
seems to want you, but

send white light.
She fades from sight....

Healing
after I woke up
in a pool
of applesauce and veggies

Stuck beside a wall
and clouds mad of porcelain

Why is my tooth loose?
Where is my left sock?
And if the ringing in my ear won't stop
silence will hurt.

Icing on the cake 
Twisted my leg dancing
Now I walk like a song.

Things I won't remember tomorrow
Flashing lights
Seats filled elbow to elbow
the movie...

The Day I Became Legal to be Illegal....

Jon and Paula are two long-time, firm friends of mine.
Once you get to know their tastes, they both are just fine.

Meet Paula Red, whose bite can sometimes cause you pain
and Jonagold, two treasures from the state of Maine.
Taken in small bites, Jon’s by far the sweeter one;
but Paula makes a pie that is the best bar none.

sweet talk comes cheap
bite vs. bark


*Applesauce is an idiom for nonsense or sweet talk....

An apple peeler is a gadget
That peels the apple and 
removes the cores
It sits on the counter top
Open the log bar-
Slide the apple on to it
Then close the opening
Turn the handle slowly

The apple peeler slowly
slowly removes the peels 
Open the long bar
Open the long bar 
Remove apple core
Now the gadget is ready
For another apple to be peeled
When you have enough apples
Peeled cut into small pieces
Then cook apples making
applesauce...

Harvest Fest’s Annual fair is the place we are heading today
Maisy my dog is totally excited, she loves the children.
My own are grown and have moved to cities far away.
Where the jobs are, away from their cousins and us.

The smells of fall are in the air – pumpkin, cinnamon, applesauce.
I am bringing homemade cider, apple cobblers and pumpkin pies.
Knowing that some customers will be eagerly looking for me.
I love this time of year, when I do not feel alone. Maisy wags her tail....

Cough Drops and applesauce 
Is what the doctor gave to me 
I don't mean to complain 
But in my side 
I feel a great big pain 
And doctors orders I'll oblige
 It is bad enough 
Every day is getting tough 
And now I am just out of luck 
Stuck with nothing but a cough 

It's been driving me insane 
Living here in all this pain 
It has made my life a very hard thing 
I really don't want to complain 
But I've been left out in the pouring rain 
And tomorrow is another day 
Same to come, same old way...
