We were strolling through time's meadow just walking love's dog....
Then I found a log; threw it in my back pack when she roped his hog ?

Summer Barbecue

Ah, the smoky scent hovers
As mesquite burns on
Taking care not to burn them
I flip them often
Juicy hamburgers
Needing some
Cheese!

Summer Swimming Pool

Deep end diving; shallow end Fear.
Barbecue host and nobody near.
Crystal, shimmering; fish to eat. . .
Lounge chair Dolphin wets her feet.


Cold Slaw We Saw

Cold Slaw We Saw

We were having  another barbecue,
Which we loved until it was through;
Ate cold slaw,
That we saw;
All the way up and soon filled you.

Suya Meat

Meat placed on a barbecue
    Fluid  oozing out
Covered  with pepper powder
  With oil and thyme sauce
   Spiced with curry leaves 
           It`s pretty
              Nice!

Dining amongst the Pakistani friends of my neighbour.
Hearing them speaking in their Urdu tongues as all turns to a blur.
Enjoying all their barbecued meats and condiment treats.

Jim went to the nudies June barbecue 
But it got windy and glowing sparks flew
Folks ran, being in the buff
Jim didn't move quick enough
He screamed when one hit his digeridoo..

“Hell's Bells” what in hell does that mean An expression I've heard since I was a teen Do they have bells down there When you get seated in a chair Preparing you for a barbecue, what a hellish scene

Premium Member New York Barbecue

Once there was a right dandy dude from New York
He dined each day on the finest loin of pork
Never met a pig he did not admire,
Roasting on a flaming barby fire
Made even tastier by the pop of the cork.

Ludens of Earth.
Sadly, not impressive.
Whoopie cushion.
Dunce hat, class clowns, and thieves.
Breakfast club candidates.
Barbecue with the fam in London.
American Dad at a sweet sixteen party.
Tonight on Daylight, “back to you John.”
“Your kid online.”

Premium Member Pops Barbecue Grill

Each morning just before lunch at eleven, I can see the black smoke rise. Pops has his large grill fired up. Chicken and ribs sizzle over the flame. Just come here to satisfy your hunger. Pops is not skimpy on his sauce. The man is the boss for cooking.

Premium Member Football game

Crowded stadium 
tailgate parties on
smoking barbecue
beer and booze flowing
chatter, loud music.
 
Warmth of friendship 
high with the drinks 
bare chest in snow
one big proud fan.

crowd cheering 
Band playing  
players wrestling. 

the beer 
popcorn

Premium Member Salmon Steak Or Fillet Or Canned

Salmon steak or fillet
Choose fillet or salmon
steak
Either way I can get it
Is alright with me

I enjoy a salmon steak 
Cooking on the barbecue
Or the fillet is tasty to
Either way I enjoy it

Salmon from a can
Is handy to have
For a salad bowl
Or making salmon
  patties

Hawaii Five 0

Hawaii Five 0

Jack Lord, detective, cut a dash, 
Hawaii surf, and barbecue bash,
flowery shirt, and big black hair, 
gave the crims, a run; fair share.


Now he’s gone to movie-heaven,
boat drinks, swims and Seven-Eleven,

And when one day, they ask, who he?

Just remind them “he”; big hair TV.

Easter On the Cape Flats

On Good Friday after church we eat
curried pickled fish and hot crossed buns
and drink black coffee because we share
in the painful agony of the Lord.
On Easter Sunday after church we braai *
meat and drink like fish and rejoice
in the victory over death and grave.

Premium Member tailgating in Springfield Ohio

Citing cats some immigrants ate
Was his weirdest part of debate
While this barbecue
Could ignite a few
It won't make America great

He's mired with the syndrome Tourette's
The point he should make--Trump forgets!
Supporters have pain
That his tired dead brain
Is consumed by those eating pets

Premium Member Barbecue King Tribute

lord of the outdoors
ruler of the castle
king of the barbecue

wielding fork and spatula
like a maestro
snow rain or shine

surf and turf
burgers or hotdogs
rotisserie chicken

exotic kebobs
grilled colorful veggies
nontraditional desserts

take a bow
you’re a pro

Reckless Ron's Explosive Barbecue

Reckless Ron from sunny Bennelong
Turned barbecue sausage without a tong,
He'd use his teeth to open beer,
He'd call out loud, " I've got no fear,"
But alas, one day he left the gas on.



Authors note:
Bennelong is the point in Sydney Harbour, NSW, Australia, where the famous Sydney Opera House is located.

* ** Coals Turn white That give off Heat for cooking, Now season the steak And then place on the grill, Then when it starts to sizzle Start turning so it doesn't burn, Cook throughly to your perfection Then enjoy with salad, fries and cold beer.

All Things About South

All Things About South

Every thing about South is  worth preserving,
Down to last bit and we should be conserving;
For long while,
Southern style,
And whole place we feel like we are desrving.

Jim Horn

Watching Anthony Bourdain and his visit to
Charleston. He also went to Hemmingway, SC
