Under Winter sky

Hurry home to fly.

Curried crawfish tails hors d'oeuvre
Moules mariniere
Fresh oysters au naturel
Some shrimp canapes
and lobster croquettes
Out fishing
Huh !...

(Get ready for the bird)

Roasting a goose just for you 
Succulently stuffed 
With wild rice, and curried shrimp… 
Teasingly browned -- Glazed 
With a cranberry 
-- Current blend  
Yum!...

Limerick : Once a Heavy Weight was given a choice

Once a Heavy Weight was given a choice
Either to eat rice or curried lice
Mice in his training camp
Carried lice for their champ
So he ate raw rice with curried mice.

On Good Friday after church we eat
curried pickled fish and hot crossed buns
and drink black coffee because we share
in the painful agony of the Lord.
On Easter Sunday after church we braai *
meat and drink like fish and rejoice
in the victory over death and grave.

Limerick : Then this Wily Woman from Franco’s Spain – 4

Then this Wily Woman from Franco’s Spain
Married a divorcee and put Church in chain
There, she said : « Me ? Married ! »
Here, she said : « Me ? Curried ! »
Free-Maisons dubbed her : Saint Marianne* Brain !

* Marianne : symbol of the French Republic

An abacus arriving ate apples and so articulate were the sonnets delivered. So brave a bead. Pass pass passing. 5million mules delivering bread. Grabbing a gatepost. Steadily surfing a silvery wired wave. Whilst juggling 863 cows. Hahahaha mystified mood swings hahahaha and a peach coloured bucket carrying a ladle. Marketing strategy. 1 2 3 and a curried curriculum climbing. Xxxx evaporation z...

Life is the same, yet lived differently
Under the azure of the sunny, crisp
For the seconds that birthed
Minutes that earned
Hours that gifted 
Days that created moments
Months that yielded 
Years that counted under the 
Solar, I thank the Creator whom
Curried me through times and
The family that holds firm my hands to
Friends whose shoulders solid wrenched
Fans who inspired courage
I celebrate you in Love...

Be for me, no more 
than you have hidden away 
in self-deception. Today, 
tomorrow, into next week, 
make yourself real for me; 
toss the curried bullcrap out 
with that bouquet of empty words 
you're so clever with. Those tapping feet 
need to settle down in an honest rhythm 
of sound that catches my attention, 
that makes me want to press 
my cheek to yours, in simple friendship. 
All the wrong things are at the top 
of your list....

My brother Fred thinks outside the box
  Wears red and green polka dot socks
He still collects overpriced pet rocks
   Eats bagel holes, no cream cheese or lox

Sister Sue sleeps with the horse in the barn
   Her iridescent make-up sets off alarms
She's got a pair of tatooed arms
   Among her other diverse charms

Me, I'm the white sheep of the bunch
   When I eat, I snap, crackle, crunch
'Course it depends on what I have for lunch
   On curried cockroach krispies, I like to munch...
