Short Ground Beef Poems

Cows will have their day
From the grinder they can’t stay…
Chicks crow buzzards play...

Energy, crazy, sluggish, heavy
Seasoning, frying, baking

ground beef
the last poem hurt
the last one hurt\\\\\\\
a hard one to digest
your now on the song's most wanted 
burger's tonight would be killer
no longer burger's
potato's rice a dish of water
after a glass of juice...

jagged edge blade, made me bleed and stabbed me deep, so far in, i have quite literally changed mentally and physically, i have become a lean ground beef pack, to be used after freezing and to be used once, please dont use me whole, i-i- l'll burn!...

Fresh peppers, onions sauteed
Lean, lean ground beef browned
Tempting aroma surrounds
Chopped fresh herbs sizzle
Juicy tomatoes
Pintos, too
Zing!

There was a German Shepherd named George
Who - on only the best would gorge
If you offered him ground beef or fish
He would growl and cover his dish
He’d howl with a histamine headache
If fed anything less than steak.

Layer and layers of pasta
   On the bottom baking dish
   Next is the ground beef
   Then a layer of pasta
   The layer of cheese
    Another layer of beef
     Followed another layer
             of pasta
     Then comes the cheese
      Next green peppers
      Then the pepperoni 
       Served with garlic bread
       Mm-mm-mm- mm-mm...

Taco shells are made of yellow corn meal.
They are tasty and crunchy, and usually a good deal.
You can stuff them with ground beef, chicken, or even fish.
Fill them up with plenty of whatever you wish.
Tacos are something folks north of the Rio Grande adore.
However, they break too easily and spill their contents on the floor.

Chefs open your baskets.

                                 What you`ll find is,

                                 A pound of ground beef.
                                 An onion.
                                 A jar of Prego.
                                 And a box of medium shells.

                                 Chefs you have 30 minutes…

                                  Good luck!...

The last piece of ground beef
No larger than a quarter

Eyed longingly by eight little eyes
their manners for most part in order

First eye each other to look for a nod
And then to look at the plate

Or  to look for intent
Should appetite break free in hope to fully sate

Suddenly a hand shot out
to make three laps in au jus

Popped it into her grease rimmed mouth
And bid the whole matter adeau...

Poverty Slop and
jowls of ground beef.

Saliva to corn
that's creamed to belief.

Mashed silk potatoes
spread over the tongue

sealing meat in
to covered and mung.

Tin pan the Shepherd.
A pie sitting heavy.

A feast for a King
and the bowels of a levy.

Full potted tummy.
A growling way down.

Back taste of kernels.
A hunger been drown.

Baked Shepherd's Pie
asleep in the oven.

Morning to eyes
like those of the sloven....

Form ground beef into patties.
The grill is fired up!
Add potatoes wrapped in foil.
Hot dogs too of course!
Save room for S’mores,
the campers’
treat.

A side dish is pre-prepared:
macaroni and
eggs, cooled, are mixed with cubed cheese,
chopped celery and
onions and tuna
with mayo.
Yum!
