They say it's French
but it feels more Machismo to me.

You know, that firm lushness
creamy smooth smushiness
moist but not too much
to whet appetite

for more
avocado....

"Mom, this Mango is not
moist or as orange as
Michaels, it's yucky green
moldy, this is moldy."
"Mary, are you certain?"
"Maybe, let me look, oh;
mine's an Avocado!"...

Avocados are the latest craze right now
Is it marketing or taste that makes us go wow
Wanting to chow down
In tune with the town
But from this day forward my taste buds say ciao...

Choices, choices
Potato, tomato
Taquito, burrito
Frito, nacho
What a person to do?
I think I have one each night
until I no longer have choices
then I stop eating?
Heck, no
start over
Avocado, mango......

Ajar, two halves of pita -
spread avocado,
crushed with peppers, cilantro,
cumin, garlic, lime.
Add sliced tomatoes 
and feta.
Mwah!

I'm cool, refreshing and I'm green
My lizardlike skin keeps my heart unseen
You can cut me in half
Or mix up my guts-
Spread me around, it does'nt matter that much-
Cuz I'm cool, refreshing and green;
And you love me!...

A cup of dainty daisies
   A whiff of lilacs' scent
A dish of vanilla-lace lilies
   Winter's flavors are spent

A lick of lemony sunshine
   A saucer of avocado herb
A spread of ruby-red roses
   Summer's temptations, superb...

All of the fats are bad
Advocates of health said
Avoid them at all times
Axe down butter and cream
And then they found this fruit
Abound with fat that’s good
Adds cream to my dry food

Again another desperado 
showed his true color in Colorado. 
Could this be a macro effect of tobacco? 
Lord help U.S in the heart of Colorado 
Which has lost every art of a commando. 
This hit wasn't like a tornado 
But like an inferno 
A sincere bravado.  
Avocado will you grow again?...

Oh please be kind friendly chef,
not a menu  I have ever met; 
Sneaky little salmon,
meal ruined with abandon;
There’s absolutely nothing left;

Tasty avocado crunch, 
seeking a vegetarian lunch;
Sneaky little salmon,
meal ruined with abandon;
Not part of my diet, sucker punch....

Caper with asparagus porridge,
accompanies fake ravioli
with supreme sweet eggplant ...
All sipped with a porto wine
of passion fruit ....
Hawaii vermicelli,
rubbing mussels
bread crumbs
crowded larva sections
inside peanut crumbs
portuguese cognac within
and pineapple with avocado
al juice...

My former life was so simple...
Just an avocado flavored ice cream
to fulfill my life complete...
In simple life I happily roamed the city,
and on these tours, one day everything changed...
Everything has changed since the day I found
an Lp record freewheeling Bob Dylan... !
I was never the same again...!...

I am mother goddess warrior
protector of the sacred Nisqually water
and the people of this land
I am native crow

I am also avocado
nice to eat and soft 
soft to my seed and thick skinned
or is it thin? I don't know

all the time I 
shed my skin
feel sweet and feed something

and then regrow

I am an avocado crow...

Vulcan!
O ye, Fire God,
Begone!
Leave our golden land,
this avocado place,
where orange poppies ignite the springtime hills!
We scream out to Chaac,
our Mayan friend,
to bring it on,
his axe made of bullet proof lighting,
to make rain today,
colliding with burning clouds of ash,
that falls on our city
like bogus snow....

o man amen club soda you taste good at two in the morning
i am going back to my dreams and tomorrow earl gray
or I'll switch to coffee with toast
all my life I twirled a question and so I peel a banana
and squeeze an avocado good night after a pee
looking for flip flop where are my sandals or sundial
as not einstein I have an accent...

Scooping out avocado
slathering it all over the lettuce
mixing in some beans
adding some chopped eggs, then dressing

Getting creative
I've never made a salad like this
I hope it tastes good
like something made for Thanksgiving

Putting together 
whatever I have that's available 
feels like playing 
little Play-Doh artist in the kitchen

Green
the cover at the garden,
leaves on a bowl for a stew,
avocado swaying up on a tree,
the voice of Wangari Maathai.
water running down the stream,
birds singing there melodious songs.
cold porridge on summer,
squishy cough drops,
Grandma's heavy cassava soup.
rolling cheeks due to joy,
penetrating radiant rays of sun
the atmosphere around the forest
Green can cool your day....

Kelly, olive, hunter, pea – 
Any green will do ya.
On St. Paddy’s Day, in green
Is how the world should view ya.

Forest, avocado, teal – 
So many shades for choosin’.
Mint, pistachio, chartreuse – 
Such greenness for effusin’.

Army, jungle, lime and pine – 
Whichever one is pleasin’.
Deck yourself in green today – 
The world will know the reason!

My Wellies

You would not recognise me today
My skin is olive when not tanned
My eyes are avocado
As God planned

You would not recognise me today
My head wrap keeps the cold away
In France they would sing and dance
And there would be no second chance

You would not recognise me today
My sense of humour kept at bay
Unless beneath my coat you see
My royal crown adorn Wellies !...

Avocado -  a true story

It’s green
Not Martian
Avocado fell from high
Perhaps the sky
Or margins thereabouts
More exact
A tree or branch released it down
And found my wife
Nearly took her life
Her eye was hit directly
With bump…. then lump
Untold un-pleasantries of course were hers
She did not cry
But made a side dish of revenge
With proper justice served
Guacamole anyone?!...

If you’re in a crowd….drunk
If you’re home alone….drunk
In jail…….drunk
“Drunk as a skunk!”
Sober?
Hell no!
No matter
Anywhere drunk
Any way but dead

For God's sake
It’s New Year’s Eve!
Before long
The ball will be descending
Come down like the blade of a guillotine
And    if you’re very lucky
You’ll wake up New Year’s day
Feeling rotten avocado green
On the bathroom floor...

FRUITS*** VEGETABLE KINGDOM

Sans absurd the avocado
is a friend of the rough pineapple
who is a friend of lemon acre
that has quality, and art...

Cherry adorns with a lot of beauty
just as the apricot fruit so blissful
and content fig also collaborates
at Christmas and adorns an elegant  table!

The guava knows this and does not care
it has value and equal to an orange it makes jam...!...
