A thief in search of clam chowder
Instead encountered a clowder
A pussy is nice
When its chasing mice
So the thief just took a powder...

Sweet corn & haddock chowder
Onion millefeuille
Pheasant breast in mushroom sauce
Poppy seed bread roll
with fennel butter
Plat au jour

Died Being A Miner

Ate great chowder in crowded diner;
Then we had sailed on a lovely liner;
Life would end;
To heaven send;
He did die digging coal being a miner.

Benny B was well known as a crowder
And today he craved a bowl of clam chowder
The waitress with a frown
Said "the chowder's all gone"
Ben threw a tantrum, whining all the louder...

There once was a clam
In a shell on a beach
By a rock under sand
At low tide out of reach

Till a boy with a hat
And a pail and a rake
Moved the rock and the sand
And the clam he did take

Said the mom of the clam
“I could not be prouder,
Good luck little clam
You’ll make a fine chowder!"...

A bowl of seafood chowder,
hot butter afloat
with fresh halibut, crab meat
salty clams and prawns
a deep sea delight
ambrosia,
bliss!                        .
                                   .

Too much drink, someone had just implied
When she passed out, it couldn't be denied
Face down in stew
Rising askew
"There's a soup in my hair!", she then cried

A man said, "You're having trouble I see!"
"May I buy your meal and some coffee?"
She brushed off rice
And said, "Coffee's nice!"
"But it looks like the meal is on me!"...

Shay play chowder me, a miracle of motion still a movin’
Just a waste masks the Master of all design
Walk we upright in the deficit of night
Depth of darkness not repeated in the generations of beings

Bent a willing root dimension three
Welcome gnashing, it’s only me
Pass me by again today, no message to receive
Partition-on my friend to survive sureality...

It’s your birthday today
so, I walked the seaside beach
as we would have done for play
had your final day not been reached

…and tonight I will slowly dine
on your favorite white clam chowder
lift to you my glass of red wine
and turn up Doris Day a little louder

when this day sees the last of light shrug
I will lay my forehead to yours
and close my eyes to send you a hug
whisper I Love You through heavens doors

I swirl my Earl Grey, guiding the line's patter, 
as if fishing for riches from my mind's grey matter.

Nostalgia is awakened by thick, canned clam chowder.
My chartreux reverberates purrs as rains get louder.

Plush clouds comfort rooftops in a drumbeat canopy. 
Dancing chimney smoke defies the law of gravity.

Pavement reflections flicker in fine artistic form.
I didn't know grey's pearly essence could be so warm.

Strawberry whines and lemon hearts
   Verry emotional sensations.

What kind of soup are you??
           I think I might be a New England clam chowder.
Heavy cream whipped till fluffy, irish potatoes, clam with a chance of grit!

If I was a dessert, I would like to be a strawberry pie with lots of whipped cream....
                     Strawberry poet cake

Watermelon rhymes and basil ballads
                   a spicy read indeed!...

maybe i need a sweet change
driving down an avenue
looking at all new things
digging cherry flavored scenes
chicken kabob feeling
taco salad nature
wish for peppercorn ranch waterfall
i will even take a drizzle

maybe i need a sweet change
driving on an island
looking at candy houses
wanting their twin sisters
clam chowder serenity
grilled scallops soothing my mind
wish for sweet buttered cornbread
how i long the sound of a simple sizzle...

Oh, clam chowder, how I would love
You to be like the thing you claim you taste of.
You're seafood, soup, potatoes, all warm
And bubbling in a splendrous, thick liquid form.
Your amount of potatoes, though is extensive,
Because I guess that clam is just too expensive
To be present in amounts that meet my desires.
But I suppose you'd be too costly for buyers.
But aside from that, clam chowder, you're alright.
I'll probably still have some tonight....

Can he dance for do you move heterogeneous. clam chowder to be ingested can you guess his name. Undistinguished gentlemen ferocious and insane. Currently the much wise sagacious yeti  who devolution confer his home to a carpenter. I came to listen to turculent demon who eyes glow with a scinilliant green light a head of a tiger wings of a hawk opens maestoso revealing a conjoined body of faces made of clay crooning in refrain. Heres comes the godhead brain....
