than a Southern girl put on 
a cornbread diet...

First the cornbread now the turkey
his movements seemed herky-jerky
	stuff a bird
	think absurd
sounds to me a bit quirky...

hurry up and get out of bed
	today’s the day
	we run away
or we’ll be stuffed with hot cornbread...

Eat more beans for my complexion,
with cornbread a good selection,
Always look in every direction,
Crossing the intersection....

WHAT’S FARE IN THE SOUTH

Everything Southern
fried — pickles, bacon 
green tomatoes and
chicken — with cornbread,
biscuits and gravy.
...and so forth
y’all!

Louisiana Cajuns 
Eatin'  hot cornbread,  
Chompin' aligator tail 
And suckin' crawfish heads.
Eatin' jambalaya 
And gumbo stew:
Gourmand, Sunday dinner,
On the old bayou....

SERVED ON SUNDAY

Buttery ham spicy-sweet.
Juices coalesce
greens - okra, collard, turnip
with splash of hot sauce.
A plate of cornbread
and sweet tea,
y’all!

-------------------------   Cornbread


         please dont add sugar
       stone ground is my secret
            mama sure can cook

I have a tiny pony, 
so small she lives indoors.
She scampers up the stairway
to sleep atop my bedspread.

I never can be lonely 
for this wee horse adores
To be with me all day 
To share my buttered cornbread....

southern fried glory chicken
watermelon eatin' contest
just
ready to explode
green fried tomatoes
lip smacking cornbread
can you smell
them biscuit
fresh from the oven
with
some
marmalade 
and
fresh honey
but
look down yonder
damn Yankees...

Collards cornbread piled
On pretty plastic plate
Red eye grits with cheese for taste
Nice slice of sweet potato cake
Black eyed peas good to me
Really did pass on the pigs feet
Entire brown biscuit with molasses 
All soul food fed the masses
Dig in enjoy with tea in glasses...

A little eye not made by man,
all woman seem to have.
Available to none but honey bees.
Clinging to the rose are butterflies.

If only screens were made of wax back then.
And then tomorrow comes.
I hear a voice inside my head that says.
Honey sweet cornbread is made each day....

Baked turkey and sweet cornbread
Dressing with gravy
Seven cheese macaroni
Collards and green beans
Real cranberry sauce
Take home plates
Yum!

Red velvet cake with pecans
Sweet potato pie
Custards in aluminum
Moist coconut cake
Pound cake with icing
Extra plates
Sweet!...

Dead folks in my hood.
I just watch Netflix and keep
my shades down.
Hoping I don't get killed.

I pray to the Lord!
And in the dark night, 
bullets fly past my window.
Kinda makes me frown!

Frying chicken. No wings going clickety-clack.
Pants need pulling up. Baking the cornbread.
Sick of looking at that jack. Waiting hours just for a three object meal.
Too late. I was so hungry I'm full just looking at my plate. No pet.
Taking forever frying chicken and dropping funky sweat....

Pork Chop sat at the table
Cornbread joined him too…
Waiting for Tee-Lee to pick Cecile,
So all could entertain with their muse…
Tee-Lee began to pick Cecile, 
Cornbread caught up with his muse ~
Pork Chop stood up on his heels…
All whirled in time to Cecile’s tunes;
And wailed to the Pork Chop bleu’s…...

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!
