on bread, in soups, on last legs
and all gobbled up

No loss of money and great taste
Gobbled down
With no frown
Ironically still went to waist!...

eaten an apple warm to the core
taken from the branch
gobbled for lunch
I have eaten an apple warm to the core...

My neighbor is a real glutton
At a feast, he gobbled much mutton,
Besides other meat,
Ate piles of sweet!
Now his trousers, he can’t button!!...

once this fat turkey named terry

its feathers dirty and hairy

gobbled on with glee

i'm leaving you'll see

into a portal less scary.

Cal Call was a lowlife nicknamed Big Mac
he was obese and partook from a sack.
He gobbled up French fries
and with no surprise
died, alas, from a supersized heart attack....

A dingo ate my baby 
It came into the tent
Gobbled up my kiddie
Farted, then it went

The dingo ate my baby
It’s a terrible disgrace
It swallowed up my nipper
And it didn’t leave a trace...

sharp-eyed you peeled my face
and my body
so sour-tasted me revealed
it was unconditional surrender to your authority
of disposing me in trash box

you yet gobbled up me
and served me your gastric acid...

Thomas the Turkey was a real gobbler
Been way overweight since he was a toddler
Gobbled up food, he wasn't slim
Started working out at the gym
“Go Thomas Go”, young girl turkeys would holler...

Blue cosmos man you are secretive and stealthy.
We watch you devour planets, and yet you remain healthy.
If we gobbled the stars down in your insatiable way,
We know with our midriffs there would be hell to pay....

Envious of McCain

Of McCain, we ended up becoming envious;
Attitude was both thoughtful and tenacious;
Honorable being;
And worth seeing;
He gobbled up words while being voracious.

Three mischievous boys played hooky from school
Big eyed Red, Ted, and Fred thought they were cool
Until frozen with fright
Their scared faces turned white
Before they were gobbled up by a ghoul

You cannot eat me! I am the king! The old man said.
The panther laughed and leapt straight for his head.
You cannot eat me! I am the king! The old man repeated.
The cat gobbled him up, showing him that he was defeated....

I went into my kitchen to bake
An enormous rich chocolate cake
Mother gobbled the lot -
On the plate not a jot
No wonder she's got belly ache!

Mum challenged me to write a limerick about cake!

There once was a wrestler called Patrice
Who gobbled food till he was obese;
Though round and full his tummy
He overate pork yummy-
And beat rivals licking their oiled grease.

Limerick : Once a Senorita from Sevilla – 4

Once a Senorita from Sevilla
Gobbled four water-melons from Murcia
Head took the shape of one
Buns in front then weighed ton
Sad, only one bum could say : Bon Dia !

I don't believe what just occurred!
The word I needed was gobbled up by that bird.
Oh, how could things have gone from bad to worse!
I now have this gaping hole in the middle of my verse.
And what I meant to say will be forever blurred.

Cardinal wearing a bright orange vest
Lights quite close to my squirrel’s nest
I asked her if this was a crazy test
She flew off snobby,  which was the best.
Later I wondered about her sordid quest
As I gobbled walnuts from my warm sweet nest...

Thomas the Turkey was an uncontrollable gobbler
Had been way overweight since he was a toddler
Gobbled up lotsa food, he wasn't slim
So he started working out at the local gym
“Go Go Thomas”, the young girl turkeys would holler

On a road trip to Des Moines he bought a sidecar with wheels.
Filled it with cheese and peanut butter, mice favorite meals.
The mice had a heyday, jumping aboard, eating their fill, having fun.
Too fat to run off, they sat there, while he ate gobbled them up one by one....

A Richardson’s owl came by today
He wanted to hoot. I wanted to play.
We did not agree in any way.
I fed him crackers on a silver tray.

He gobbled them up, was on his way.
I glimpsed him fly across the bay.
He never turned around to say
Thank you in any kind of way....

Thanks to Father DeMino fir reminding me the world cannot bite off all our Jesus-kinda-Love. So here goes-

"If you love sacrificially, you won't expect thanks and only lose a blip of Eternity." Deo

Joe DeMino did add, "ouch for that blip" that got gobbled up mercilessly...

Operating room. From under the table- "Meow!"
The surgeon kicked the cat- with a gently stroke.
The cat start begging much  more loud.
The surgeon said- "Well. Take it. Choke!"
He cut off something and threw it on the ground,
The cat gobbled it and pleased, at once went out....

An old man in Plymouth with a set of false teeth
Was eating a piece of tough meat on Christmas feast
When he ate, his dentures with the meat fell off his mouth
His dog waiting below gobbled it and hastily ran south!
