As bakers cook, diners eat food. Good help is jumbled. Kicking lovers make no omen.
People quarrel; reactions soar through upper vented windows. Explanations yield. Zoom!...

Bungling Bankers and Brutal Bakers

There are those who were muck rakers,
As well as liars, losers and breath takers;
Improperly invested,
And poorly digested;
Been bungling bankers and brutal bakers.

The bakers brekky, was quite the tasty meal.
Eggs, crumpets, and tea plus butter was ideal.
Porridge when it’s brisky,
Cider quaffed so frisky,
Likes his crumpet crispy; brekky glut with zeal.
(And his gut he surely feeled.)...

Lemons are super duper sour
        Everyone puckers up when they eat one
        Most orchards grow in india
        One type of lemons are meyer lemons
        Nobody can stand the sourness without making a face 
        Some bakers use lemon zest in baking...

Rowing on the waters in Venice
I see houses holding hands
Bakers talking sweet to one another
Couples walking down the street with their palms stuck
Street performers making feet move like waves
My binoculars store these sights in the banks
Another row I perform
down these waters
as I go wherever the sea takes me
to find new wonders...

  They've no doctors to alleviate pain
    nor nutritionists to stem weight gain

  No carpenters to build them a domicile
    or dealers to sell them an automobile  

  Neither bakers to bake them a birthday cake
    nor ministers to preside over their wakes... 

  Forest creatures, left to their own wiles
    find organic ways to overcome life’s trials

I’ve set up a mammogram service
On a stall outside the bakers
Been sitting ‘ere for hours
But I aint not ‘ad no takers
I can’t understand their reluctance
‘cause, it only takes a minute
To put my hand inside their bra
To check what they keep in it 
Now this simple operation
Could put their minds to rest
If only they would let me ‘ave
A quick feel of their breast...

great day
near-gone

“Good night,”

The dark and milk and whites
I deal with everyday
To make tasty delights
Night and day

Truffles and candies and mints
Enriched with nuts
And strawberries that hints
Of jelly filled cuts

Flowers with Chocó centers
Are hard to make
A challenge for all bakers
They do so easily break

The rich creamy chocolate
Melt very fast
The clients do hate chocolates that don’t last....

Newborns are born daily, still magical, enthralling us
With their kittenish mewing sound
snuggling into our fat shoulders

Pies, cakes, and pastries are made
by bakers at four a.m.
Humming as they work,
anticipating the happy excitement
of people who want a fresh donut at six.

Two-year-olds are laughing full out,
Seven-year-olds are asking for their own unicorns.
What can be more hopeful than that?...

.          AT   THE    BAKERS
A    very   old    Parsi   couple
Sans    teeth   sans    taste
Sans    almost     any    reason
To     buy    lots   of   pastries  ,
Cakes   ,   butter   ,    biscuits
Except   their   grandson
Seeming    boy    half  -   hidden
Behind   them   ,
Who   however   lingered
When   they   loaded   left
Clutching   a   ten   paisa    coin
And   begging   for   a   biscuit ....

The real woman cries for flower.
A handed one makes her tower.
The much uplifted that hour!
Giver has but lent her power;
Just nothing would the day sour.

A woman, then free to glower,
If you'd promised her a flower
And it she saw not next hour;
As a replacement Bakers Flour...

Such a woman could make one cower:
For more than one grieving hour
Tongue-lashing men with full power?

"Go and sit down on your bower!"...

Sanibel
island of brilliant shells
jewels like scattered love on the shore

Ancient gift
bestowed by ocean waves
young lovers seek treasures in the sand

Honeymoon
moonlit walks by the gulf
love endless like seashells at low tide

Daylight breaks
seashells kissed by the sun
glisten like stars in young lovers' eyes

quick gestures
times seem subdued
though somehow not alert
moments begin to intrude
captured by phrases 
never seen abrasions
mute 
intentions fade as time is payed
fools wage's are waisted pages
redundant as it seems
tongue will find means 
as it wrestles with the ink
gives the mind time to blink
worth in word's bakers dozen
love and blood are second cousins
just another farce 
wrote just this
side of th dark

Honeycomb pans preheat in the sun;
filled of warm nectar so sweet; 
confection made by bees.

Cooperation among honey bees; 
bakers collaborating with sun;
produce oozing nectar, sugar-sweet.

Natures flowers, filled with liquid, sweet
thanks to numerous, hard working honey bees 
crafted in an oven of radiating sun. 

A sweet tooth has ancient sun;
Sol bakes flowing rivers, sweet; 
with the help of his buddies, the bees.

Parisian nights magical made for hand in hand walking
Along the light sparkling Seine,
Across bridges running to old left bank enclaves
Magic nights soft city lights
Footsteps echo into alleys
Taxis purr catlike in misty morning dew
Who walks in these early hours just before dawn?
Bakers rolling croissants, freshly baking
Deliveries of flowers, papers, breads
All in sleepy just light …
You and I, hand in hand,  find our way home
Under flowering purple trees...

Butter crumb confection is bliss;
Soft transformation oozes across my palate.
How I love my sweets and dance my taste bud dance!

Liquid silk cocoa whipped with, delicate ease; 
a moment of ecstasy.
Caramel scents tasted with vanilla bean milk 
are a bakers’ miracle.

Lemon-mint liquid served in a golden mug
of pekoe slips over the tongue.
Strawberry snow cream sits atop spongy beds of
flour and sugar while,
sticky ooze engulfs my soul freely.

Oh, how I love my sweets!...
