Chefs over fire toil
Claws emerge from the spiced boil 
Tentacles coil

His name was Mr Hamish MacTavish.
He was a Scot, and his taste was lavish.
Mr MacTavish wrote a posh cookery book
So all Cordon Bleu Chefs could try to cook,
A haggis!...

Teachers work best when in seminars
Poets read verses in smokey bars
Chefs rock with a spoon
Plumbers show their moon
But Astronomers shoot for the stars!

An old lady from Brussels,
Enjoys a dinner of mussels,
Restaurants in the district,
Have hired chefs looking strict,
To ward off her annoying morsels.

Too many cooks cause a problem in the kitchen
Chefs don't like others challenging their decisions
As to what goes in
And how many mins
Fisticuffs can break out and you lose your vision...

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

I have been away for a while
I missed the aroma coming out of your kitchen
I missed the soup being prepared by your highly talented chefs
Thank God i am back to savor and devour those wonderful soups
How nice it is to be back on poetry soup....

distinguished by their excellence.

The broth is warm
Dig right in
Nourish your spirit
There's goodness within

So many flavours
To experience and find
Soup that's created
By creative minds

Don't be afraid
To add your own taste
Add as much as you want
It won't go to waste

Join other chefs
Have a meal as well
Come to this safe place
With a story to tell...

There once was a king who would eat
Exclusively things that were sweet.
	His chefs were at fault
	If he tasted salt
So their spicings were very discreet.

On the other hand, there was his queen,
Who favored a sav’ry cuisine.
	She liked her food salty
	Or dishes were faulty;
The cooks were betwixt and between!

Season To Taste


S oup – pure broth
E ndeavouring to stay “pure”
A mid the “cook’s in the kitchen”.
S easoning to taste the
O fferings of distant “chefs” -
N ot/accepted -

T ables set for too many.
O outsiders – 

T heir noses pressed
A gainst the glass -
S niffing the soup
T asting, its
E fficacy.

Foods very delicious and delectable,
Prepared by the caring cooks and chefs,
What a blessing as a senior,
To sit and sup with friends,
Days without end,
Iee cream desserts and tea,
Beautiful music to serenade us,
Days with relatives and friends,
Dinning with excellence,
A blessing from God,
I am very thankful..

Sampling efforts of various chefs
spent the morning  making cakes
High  spirited  independant  miss
Hair  coiffed  in  red rouge circles
On   blue-and-siver  striped  sofa
She wrote poems  about  Spring
In cloth covered book with a lock
Greyhound  poised   at  her  feet
He took her to a dark restaurant
She  opened  the  box...   A gold
heart   nestled   in  black  satin....

Five In One

There’s so many contests I’ve done
The remit of this sounded fun
To pick a profession
I have a confession
I simply can’t pick only one

So...

Astronomers deal with astronomy
While Chefs get involved with gastronomy
My Plumber mends leaks
My kid’s teacher speaks
While Poets all play with word-onomy

The sword of hunger
snips the squeak 
of the intestine,
which is like a cry
of a new born baby,
from my stomach.

Chop! Chop!
All chefs!
To cook! To cook!
You must go!

Cutlery jumps,
stoves burn,
veggies fear.

I open the cupboard
with the strength
of an elephant
as I inspected 
what will be on the menu,
and flipped the recipe book
like a pastor
who just lost his verse....

To a Kind and True person
Mystic Rose

I love it in this kitchen
The aroma is just fine
The taste of these confections
complimented
                     by fine wine
And although there's many Chefs
And recipes to savor 
I'm drawn to something wholesome
A simple unique flavor

It's so very satisfying, 
Cooking with this group
But I'm always looking forward
To a cup of Rose's soup...

Chefs open your baskets.

                                 What you`ll find is,

                                 A pound of ground beef.
                                 An onion.
                                 A jar of Prego.
                                 And a box of medium shells.

                                 Chefs you have 30 minutes…

                                  Good luck!...

Swastikas Today on Temple Mizpah 
 

The kitchens of Auschwitz
are belching again.

Ancient chefs, 
puffed hats askew,

storm once more
the catwalks swaying.
 
When the ovens are full,
the chefs dig pits

in the kitchen floor, set
silver spits, roast fryer thin
 
the legs and wings they’ve
cleaned and cleavered. Yes,

the kitchens of Auschwitz 
are belching again.
