Bananas and cucumbers find
a place in the dirtiest mind.
Is losing her cherry
to courgettes a worry?
Who knows but one's up her behind......

Bill’s cucumbers grew long and hard
Nuns queued up for them in his yard
‘Twas their weekly treat…
They were not to eat
I’ll finish here… or I’ll get barred!

We worship the meatball-breasted
Slug-eyed One 
Who is fragrant with tomato sauce
Who nourishes us well
Liberates us from hunger 
For the sake of full bellies
Even while the cucumbers 
Ferment in the refrigerator....

We like to respond to
Oysters on sea beaches
Rustling branches in the wood
Love the tall birches
Dews drop as she blushes

Cucumbers smile on thatch
Roses call from your pots
Umpteen snails roam 
Inquiringly on moist spots
Sands sparkle at riverside
Elegant horses we ride

They found 
ground green peppers
Ground ground onions
Ground garlic
.ground cucumbers
Cultured buttered milk
Cayeene pepper
Ground shrimp
Ground catfish
Some flour and eggs
Mixed well
And rolled in bread crumbs
Fried crisp
And served with a tart
Candied ginger 
yogurt tartar sauce
Man that's some 
Delicious great tasting goodness...

Cucumbers, celery and stem-vine tomatoes
were hobnobbing with my Russett potatoes.
Pears and plums and one Georgian peach
winked at the Wisk and Snuggled the bleach.
Pretzels and popcorn and the Tostitos chips
ogled in awe as Meyer's bacon strips stripped!
Mr. Clean and Mrs. Dash espied a risqued art - 
when double-clipped coupons tainted the cart!...

Anti-howling receives the 
deserter. There was a mass
breast-beating without
any noise.

The pugnacious jaw 
drops. Shows  a frail
sensitivity to tormented
values –

of invisible mirrors, shutting
down the wolf’s face. An
ancient spider jumps
on your bronzed ego.

A transsexual walks on
the ramp to defend her territory.
Cucumbers would jump to
conceive the obnoxious yawning.

	cocoons under leaves
	split open, new wings drying
	white butterflies flit


	white butterflies flit
	brilliant yellow squash blossoms
	zucchini to share


	white butterflies flit 
	tomato flowers await
	cool summer salad


	white butterflies flit
	tiny cucumbers prickle
	winter’s dill pickles


	white butterflies, gone
	eggs now hidden beneath leaves
	for next spring’s cocoons...

Apples and Azaleas are always around.
Bright beautiful buds bloom while
crisp cultured cabbage and cucumbers
dot the darkened dirt.
Every edible is excellent.
Fame is so far flung for 
Grandma's glorious garden that
Handy Horticulture has offered to hire her.
Imagine, envision her incredulity of their insistence.
Just another jovial, jocular juncture in Grandma's jubliant journey.

If you Listen closely on a quiet evening 
during a starry filled night 
breathlessly still without a breeze. 

you might hear the salty sea 
singing in waves which crash to a beat
against the beach in rhythmic time 
dancing its way back onto the sea floor 

To the tune of the musicians 
behind the bar the brittle stars, 
sea cucumbers, sea stars, snails, 
clams, bristle worms, and crabs 
the orchestra of the sea....

There once was a Nun who knew Bill
For his cucumbers gave her a thrill
Off to sleep she went, dreamt
Her thoughts heavenly sent
All sweating she woke up with a shrill

Now embarrassed she's off to confess
That a cucumbers left her distressed
To the Father she cries
Would they be Bill's he replied
I've dreamt, now let us totally repent

Sure To Stump

Trump is grump who doesn't like living in a dump
And became confused when he fell in a clump
Of cucumbers and his head has a big bump;
Rides on cute camel that has a horrible hump;

Said many things which us is sure to stump;
Found him watching movie about Forest Gump,
And not only that can be an incredible chump;
Terrible driver when over wheel he would slump.

You can continue on from here here now.

there’s no face appearing in the window
as I stare through the whiskyfalls 
of the sun made of cucumbers
that ticks in my sternum like a deathwatch
so where’s my sagacity? – 
– lost somewhere in the pink furry mirrors
hearkening ill, weirdly and sinister
baffled from holding itself a hostage
running wild in the power sockets
the same inside out in the eye sockets
crying out loud from the acient books
of lamentations 
and corvus breakdowns...

Are cucumbers cool
As a general rule?
How fresh is a daisy?
Are loons always crazy?

How snug is a bug
When he’s not in a rug?
How gentle are lambs
If not happy as clams?

How clever’s a fox
That’s as dumb as an ox?
How fit is a fiddle
Not clean as a whistle?

Are doornails most dead,
Or are dodos instead?
Is it drier than toast
To say “deaf as a post”?

Such puzzles befuddle and much mystify
Till suddenly you see they’re as easy as pie!...

Tempting pieces of glazed pork;
dressed in honey juice
it’s summer’s  cook-out by night-- 
grilled chunks dance on flame
herbs thrilling moist buds,
a zesty 
WHIRL!


Barbequed flavor warms
paste soaked in rice wine,
laughter ringing from delight
achara completes
eve's luscious fete--
sinful binge
YEAH!


For Kim Rodrigues Summer Cooking    7/10/2018
‘achara’—asian appetizer garnished with tomatoes, 
cucumbers and green pickled mangoes....

Pickled ham and pickled beef
Cause weak stomachs too much grief


Did you know they pickle cherries
Grandma ate some; said three Hail Marys


In glass jars, store pickled tomatoes
Do not try this with wet potatoes


Russians all swear by pickled herring
Grate in radish and schmaltz if you are daring


Pickling cucumbers are oh-so-fresh and cute
Try pickled jalapenos; you will fart and toot


My favorite thing of all's to pickle eggs
They make my little sister choke and gag...

"It's a pickle party!"
The neon flier pinned on the board said
Happy was the green speckled cucumber
When the text he read
"How lovely!" He thought with a bright grin on his speckled, dotty face
I must share the news, the mini-cucumbers have a place!
Pickles hardly party, but this would be really fun
Let's bring vinegar, garlic, onions, and dill and make it one
No one will soon forget!
"Pickle party, pickle party!"
Rattled off the happy tiny cucumber
And off he went to share the news...
