Short Crepes Poems

Tupelo's artist Gillam
whose Christian name was Sam
Innovatore with scrunchd-up drapes
made into colourful crepes...

Cheesy potato
With a side of Banger or ham
Crepes for dinner, breakfast and lunch
Brunch? Blueberry muffins and quiche
Hungry?...

Crepes and salted caramel
A Yorkshire parkin
with peanut butter parfait
blackberry sorbet
prunes in Armagnac
Treats back to
Back!...

Crepe Suzette with fresh mushrooms
Sautéed on the side
Brings smiling eyes to the meal
Cooked just right they have
Superb appeal to
Hungry tongues
Yum!...

Our favourite restaurant on Sunday mornings
Serves crepes to die for but they come with a warning
Calories galore
And dollars for sure
That aside, Trump says there's NO global warming...

A crêpe for breakfast has me by the short curlies
They're yummy yum yum, make my tummy do twirlies
Not good for the waistline
No more food till p.m. nine
Tell myself you can do it, please Lord have mercy...

Dreamt of the cute waitress who served us last night
Frequent patrons of this eatery, crepes are dynamite
But the bonus is her hugs
Entering and leaving that I love
Especially when she offers her yummy dessert delight...

He tore up all the tulips
    and trampled all the grapes
He made a strong mint julep
    and spilled it on the drapes
He cut down all the myrtles
    and made himself some crepes
Went to the zoo
    took off his shoes
        and flung them at the apes!...

Crepes.
So soft, so warm,
So beautifully yellow. 
Filled so full with something sharp or mellow. 
Whipped cream or chocolate, vegetables or fruit.
Sweet or savory, a strawberry or a bamboo shoot.
Lemon with sugar, or spinach with cheese. 
Ham and syrup, or whatever you please....

Sharita is pondering her choices; and there are many.
Travel to the Rivera with her husband who is grouchy
Stay the weekend with her mother who needs her
Run off to the Orient and make a new life away from both?

She puts on her prettiest lipstick, and grabs her sun hat
Waits for crepes in the courtyard of her favorite restaurant.
A French gentleman approaches to offer her another choice.
Can a woman not look pretty without this kind of attention?...

Sam was tired of his mother’s banal cooking.
She fixed hamburger helper every other day.
On the opposite days she fixed tuna helper or chicken helper.
He was tired of all of these helpers, tired of casseroles. 

Sam was thrilled to be invited to his girlfriend’s house for supper.
Her mother was always creating exotic dishes.
Salmon crepes, Orange Spicy Chicken, tiramisu.
“I hear you like hamburger helper,” she said upon his arrival.
“Good thing!”...
