Cake Thief

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!

An Apertif

Her craft had a sizzle and spark,
Lighting up to cook after dark.
So his brainpan swam,
“That’s one succulent clam!”
A morsel, just right for the shark.

Pizza For the Mob

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

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.

Premium Member Rejected by Three Dozen Walmarts

  
     A widower is a sorry species   
       unschooled in the culinary arts
         washing white clothing with darks 

     The embodiment of a ‘klutz’ ~
       The whole man, worse than the sum of his parts

Premium Member DEI Ain't the Problem, Sarge

       To live on cruel rations 
       was once the fashion
         for armies of yore on the move

       Today’s fighters -- foodies
       who crave culinary goodies
         their delicate taste-buds to soothe

Premium Member My Herb Garden

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.

Succulents

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 Surprise

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.

Premium Member Chicken Couplet

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?

Oreo Cookie

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.

Premium Member To Know Thy Self

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 –

The Platter Clean

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.

Premium Member Coconuts

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

Premium Member Cold Pizza Topped-Off With Spam

All day Franco-American spaghetti-suckers
  do not make connoisseurs' lips pucker
Neither do grilled spiders and a side of beans
  appeal to kings or to queens

When looking to make a culinary splash
  never serve reheated corned-beef hash
And even if you're in a real time jam
  fuggetabout cold pizza topped-off with spam

Just stick to the basics, you'll surely succeed
  ~ A dozen raw eggs afloat in seaweed
