Premium Member Holding On To a Jet Stream

I skated holding onto the tail of a jet stream today.
We went to Dubai, Zimbabwe Omaha and Bombay.
I got back before lunch before my mother could say
Where have you been child? In the yard you must stay!

Premium Member Misnomer

Mom said be sure to wash your face off before lunch, by gosh The son obeyed but without a mouth, eyes, and nose He could not eat, why do you suppose

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 leopard tries to sleep

How can you sleep here? Asks an artist from the north.
Leopard is used to the vivid colors of the rainforest.
He can sleep anywhere, but especially here.
It is his home, his hunting ground, his safe place.
The stranger keeps talking, annoying leopard.
He may have to snack before lunch.


Quandry Poet

All my time is laying on my laurates floor
I've written my poems
and don't  have much to show
Those books don't appear to be useful
I've played my secret  passion
and eat my buffalo wings


I've got few Anthology's
to please my peers
it don't ring true,
part reciting them from Lands End
when a Poet goes out
before Lunch

Premium Member A Right Time

It takes more courage to eat before complaining
Than to protest and create a conflict before lunch
if you are at community soup kitchen
Where there are mostly sheep and many eyes

There may be a right time for everything
But there is never a right time for conflict
Even if it is easier than threading a needle
Or catching a fish

In The Abstract

Some never find wrongdoing in one of their own no matter the proof shown or how many whistles are blown they circle the wagons close ranks deny any and all culpability then compound the issue by defending duplicity with verbal hostility but Detective Inspector Quasimodo could solve a crime before lunch he'd secure the scene collect clues examine the evidence and would bust the culprit just on a hunch

Green and Scream

Hand me the sugar.
Flour.
Cinnamon.
Don’t forget the chocolate chips!
Oh, and the prank!
The worms!
The worms!
For an added crunch.
Now hurry,
Go cook the bunch.
We need those done,
Before lunch,
To watch daddy turn green,
And mommy to scream!
Shh…. Here they come to eat!
There they go,
Grab the cookies.
What’s this?
No green?
Not even a scream?
Nothing a’tall?
Darn, we were caught by Aunt Charell.
She switched the batch,
But it was such a good catch……
