And brag about their healthy walks
They all spout facts
But watch their backs
Because they know celery stalks!...

a stalk of 
celery with

simply asked 
her favourite 
flavour of 
funeral dress....

but Broccoli was jealous, Celery had a hunch.

Rich chocolate 'pon my thin lips.
On taste buds twang sits
Minute; lifetime on big hips.
Now clothes don't fit

Carrots celery dip
Peanut chocolate dip permit
My pants can now zip

Having bigger problem now than ever....Ha!!LOL...

No Almond Joy for coconut
Please don't suggest roasting chestnuts
Stifled by sage and pumpkin spice
Cauliflower rice won't entice
Though blasphemous, I'm not bluffing
I am not thankful for stuffing
He picks out onions, celery
All for love of finicky me.

Craving cheese Doritos,
Crispy chips and Cheetos.
Caramel apples with 
Cashew coating will do!
Cooking some rock candy
Captain Crunch could cherish!
Cancel the celery!

The crispness of your knife goes snick!
Cutting up my dreams like celery, 
To make hors d’oeuvres that you, Time, pick
And gobble till you’ve swallowed me.

But while you cut, your blade will knick
Hard upon my iron bone;
It trims me to the very quick—
But still, my skull will dull its hone....

It all starts with the cornbread
buttermilk, of course
seared in an iron skillet
crunchy outer crust
southern tradition
slap-your-mom
good!

Crawfish, Andouille sausage,
crumbled up cornbread,
onions, celery, apples,
cranberries, pecans,
cinnamon and sage,
moistened and
baked!
