Is it just me or are our dinners getting smaller?...

Hungry Man Dinners
meat and potatoes in it
without any walls...

romantic dinners
and walks together   but she
won't know I was there...

rich folks who complain

                    of boring dinners, champagne

          hobo says, insane!...

I went on vacation to Hell,
The hotel was hot, with a smell,
And The Devil was rude,
When I toyed with my food:
He cooked all the dinners as well.

Frozen dinners, home delivery, fast food places
Is a home cooked meal no longer one of those phrases
Things from the past
Never ever lasts
In this fast paced world we must stuff our faces...

Donald was born with life cushy
It’s known that he can be pushy
Expect this bully
To grab for things wooly
Like a fine pussy that’s bushy  


Author's note: Get ready for the under the table shenanigans at state dinners....

Don't  talk to me about summer nights and red roses.
about pink butterflies and goosebumps
about candlelight dinners and enchanting dreams
Talk to me about the  cold winter nights.
about the lonely black mother,
and the angry black boy....

To all who suffer from Delusions of Importance
I have strict diet – no moderation with Humble Pies;
Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners; meanwhile
Don’t forget Snacks in between and multiple Desserts.
Thee Cured at the end; Disabused of Grandeur....

Bless the deviled eggs and the preacher’s children.
Grab a piece of fried-to-perfection chicken.
Coca-cola cake or banana pudding?

It started with a kiss.
Watching sunsets.
Candle lit dinners.
Telling me i was the one.

Something changed inside him.
The cracks started to show.
It's not you it's me

Then the lies started.
Teardrop fell.
He wanted out.
I didn't stand in his way....

This connection, 
So fast and furious. 

The train is non-stop
and so is my heart. 

Beating ever so 
Gently for your love. 

With wine, music
And dinners that 
Ignited us. 

Into each other.

On a Washington midnight thirteen bug-eating bats
descend upon the Air Force Memorial spotlights
drawn to swarms of their favorite insect dinners.
What a spectacular sight! Wings of evil crowding ‘round the spires!
But they cannot compare with the other species of bloodsuckers!...

I posted another short story (pieces in this poetry section have to be brief).
I'm just a wordie-birdie, I suppose *shrug*

It's called "Old designs." About a dinner kicking off the 2022-23 university year.

Thinking of all the running turkeys
Having all my family around
Aunties and mothers cooking food 
Nice family dinners 
Kicking the mash poatoes and gravy
Stuffing with your turkey
Gravy,gravy,gravy,gravy
Ice cream and pie
Very interisting " I guess?" 
Nice to meet you
Grandparents being around...

Friday Night Dinners

Waiting in line
Table for five
Peanuts on floor
Country songs blaring
Crazy loud voices
Time to dine
Bottle of beer
Bread and butter
Petite filet rare
Loaded baked potato
Extra sour cream
Crisp Cesar salad
Ice cream sundae
Time to go
Kisses and hugs………
Life is good...

A vicar when teaching his flock
Would never pay heed to the clock
Until his lost sinners
Arrived with their dinners
Which finally made him take stock!

Secret words and secret places
Moonlight dinners with all the graces
Soft summer walks in the eventide
Time together to just abide

Smooth satin sheets with a light touch
Saying I love you so very much
Sitting together in each other’s arms
Anticipating your touch and golden charms.

Divorcing her or him can cause wounds
In the hearts deeply , while reminding some 
Verses shared on the same bed at nights 
Or after taking dinners ...as the great
Relationship will be off line for longtime, 
Cutting off links with the one you loved on this 
Earth , memories hunt divorcees for long periods....

"My God, if I was just able
to pick just four for my table,
Lord who would it be,
Yes, surely nette,
and Syd for we’d want a fable!

Now, in short, that makes only two
I know, our wee nikko would do
she’s not shy or square
and we’d have two pairs
A Poetry Soup whoop dee do!

Dinners: Debbie, nette, Syd, nikko...

Imagine self, becoming 27.
Admired the elders.
Glad that prediction of not making it, does not exist.
Confused about if I can make it in the future.
Learn, thus, selves shelves.
I cannot imagine.
Hence we can.
Age is a number.
Eggroll to Paracetamol 
Breath like a baby
Laugh
Next step, TV dinners at 60.
Hallelujah....

Yo-yo's and hula hoops
  We all ate our Campbell Soup

Down our stairs went Mr. Slinky
  For dessert, Hostess Twinkies

Lucky guys rode ten-speed racers
  Drank Seven-up with Kool-Aid Chasers

After school, the Mickey Mouse Club
  With TV dinners for our grub 

The '50's seem so innocent now
  Can we get them back somehow?...

Look to the sky
But then 
Look to the side

Promises are in
The distance

Joy is its assistance

Grab hold to your dreams
But don’t overrate
What they mean

Success and drive
Is in the sky

Family dinners, picnics and games
Are on the side

Don’t abandon one for the other
They’ll both be your warmth
Because they both are your cover...
