Hot Muffins

Butter, sugar, honey, eggs
Salt, flour, cornmeal
Mix in baking powder too
Don’t forget the milk
Green peppers and corn
Bake and eat
Yum

If sunrise sat on a dish-
should this be your wish-
hope for golden dough, mellow
spheres of cooked cornmeal
sunk in okra slosh
tomato

Premium Member mush is a chameleon

"mush" means go to the sturdy huskies in the Yukon
mush made of cornmeal I fry up and slater syrup on
mush is great to use in a poem, a chameleon without a blush.
she rhymes with hush, shush, gush, lush, and definitely rush.

Premium Member Rooting For Snidely Whiplash

I am rooting for Snidely Whiplash
Tie up sweet Nell and give her a gnash.
Silly Dudley Do-Right
Simply isn’t that bright.
Snidely, turn him into cornmeal mash.

Good villain, it is your turn to win.
Wipe off Dudley Do-Right’s ridiculous grin.
Leave her on the tracks
With their clickety clacks
Follow me, Whiplash. Do I hear an Amen?

Premium Member Daddy's Cornmeal Mush

my daddy loved corn meal mush
mommy didn’t, she had eaten too much of it
during the depression of the thirties

I watched him cook it
because I loved daddy
he gave me a taste
with butter and maple syrup

now I loved corn meal mush too
I can hardly ever find it
but I will never forget the sweet gritty taste
and how much my love for it tickled my daddy

Premium Member We Live In a Zoo

Cat food in the kitchen
Bird seed down the hall
Dog food on the back porch
Giraffe food against the wall

We live in a zoo, a menagerie
With opossums and one snake
There is no place I would rather be
Having pets for us is no mistake

Cornmeal for squirrel with fluffy tail
Come visit us, we should charge you a fee
Buffalos arrive daily in the pony express mail
We are loving these animals, husband and me.

White Lightnin

It's a proud family tradition

Here in the hills of Tennessee

My grand daddy brewed White Ligntin

And my daddy, before me.


It's just Cornmeal, water and yeast

Brewed in the family still.

Them revenuers can't find the place

They probably never will.


Don't drink it down, you sip it slow

It kicks like a stubborn ole mule.

There's a reason it's called White Lightnin

Some folks call it fuel.
