I wish I could bake
I like to eat cake
But my culinary skills are crap
I go to a wake
Make some handshakes
Then leave with a sponge in my bag...

Pancakes come from heaven above,
One bite and it is culinary love!
Calories don’t count, you can eat your fill!
The Pancake world surely beats the grill!...

Well done pizza is what the mob counts on
The lightest always set before each con
Don't die alone
It's set in stone
It's always the darkest before the don!...

Listen to poem:

Now here's mishmash mess of a dish,
A hodgepodge of things you won't miss,
Use-by-dates, well past encore,
Muddled up on the floor,
A culinary concoction so swish!...

Pelican Soup

I will not partake of your Pelican Soup,
Not even a drop or a very small scoop.
This culinary dish is quite absurd,
A consommé of a large billed bird....

Stirring and mixing ingredients with, sweet smelling herbs.
The culinary art form; a favorite of many people.
Succulent perfume fills the kitchen; dinner will soon be served....

A bee, quite a jolly old chap,
Made chicken that caused a hand-clap.
With gravy so grand,
Folks lined through the land,
"More Joy!" they all shouted, ker-plap!

With Medicaid I got my dentures so bright
To pursue each and every culinary delight
Now with swagger I sway
But DOGE takes them away
Guess it's yogurt for dinner again tonight...

WOW what a fantastic experience, a culinary treat
Knew it by the crowd
That says it out loud
A pub called the Crow's Nest, a great place to eat...

My son Scottie turned out to be an amazing chef
Whatever dish he concocts, it's up there with the best
Know not where it's from
But it's up with my thumb
Deserves the World Culinary Award he's up to the test...

My  blue terraced pot is alive this year,
Growing basil, chives, oregano and sage.
It sits on my patio in the filtered sun,
Ready for creative culinary inspiration......
              Maybe after I finish this glass of wine....

Culinary resonations my senses please
Blowtorch trimming the tapering of cheese 
Cremated lactations dance on the fan’s breeze
Crab forks impaling young peas 
Lightly dusting salt of the seas
Grindings of exotic teas
Marinades my taste buds tease...

Banana went to culinary college
Yellow, firm, wanted so much knowledge,
Standing up in last class,
Ending up in large mass,
Now was the time for all to acknowledge.

If, in culinary quarters, thin-sliced, Crisco’d chicken orders go as cutlets,
Then are coupled quatrain quarters, when arranged in rhyming order, christened couplets?

BELLY OF A WHALE

heavy
it sits
shoalfish
complex
dessert

the brown
barnacles
attach 
themselves
voiceless

a diet
underwater
crumbs
controlled
senseless

nevertheless
it steamed
delicious
culinary
dishes

under the sea

Once again, I ate more then one.
Returning to the stack such fun,
Examining the richness complete,
One cookie not left to eat.

Culinary flavor in every bite,
Original taste that satisfies right,
One dip in milk, rich to the core,
Keeping the history, craving more,
I am always filled with delight.
Extraordinary savor just right....

To know Thy Self
is to know a universe:

I peel back the onion of me…

tears are only a surface
of my journey; 

for there is
sweetness enough to enhance
any dish; 

In fact, each of us
is a banquet of discovery – 

awaiting the chef, our nature that of
a culinary soul, to assemble and toss, 

fresh from the garden of God’s greening –...

My husband likes to cook and that’s
A lucky thing for me
For I am the recipient
Of his gastronomy.

He hardly tastes what he prepares.
His culinary skills
Are aimed to please my palate;
It’s my belly that he fills.

Like Jack Sprat and his wife, we are,
Without the fat and lean. 
He cooks, I eat, he clears, I wash – 
Our dinnertime routine....

Listen to poem:

Your hairy brown exterior
Belies the sweet interior

A gift to humans culinary
Or cocktail quite extraordinary

Your oil it smooths, caresses
A babies bum it blesses

Your cream is heaven slurry
As I add it to my curry

In short you're what we all need
Though your stature for a plant seed

Might be intimidating
I'll still give you 'A' star rating
