Short Lox Poems

He quickly ordered a red lox
But instead got a red fox
He sent the plate back
Chef calls him a jack
Cuz, the fish was really a lox...

Bobby Burroughs bought a bunch of butter bagels,
Bundled in a butter bagel box.
But Bobby Burroughs found the bagels bitter,
So Bobby bought a box of better lox....

My kid gets smarter every day
She queries in a thoughtful way:
"Are two M.D.'s a paradox?
Are kosher fish in spring 'May lox'?"
"Go ask your Mom". She says, "I did!
She said to ask another kid"....

FOX
I feel that everyone is becoming the deceptive fox
Nobody can't escape his/ her own box
The chef cook is burning his lox
Let's focus on how to take care of our own ox

Salt, yeast, and flour,
Roll the dough,
Rise for an hour.

Rye, Wheat, Oatmeal too!
Take a piece,
Toast and jam for you.

Try and taste the rest
But you know
Pizza is the best!

Try bagels and Lox.
No more bread?
Open the breadbox!...

Inside a musical box
Synchronized to the rhythm as sly a fox
Twirls a dancer without socks
More natural than a salmon becomes lox 

Mesmerized by tiny feet so deep it shocks 
The ignorant fixate to mock
But are hypnotized faster than a joke can knock
Beware bare sheep for the Shepard controls the  flock...

An absurd idea slipped from my head
That, in my dreams, would best be left for dead.
This chimeric charade turned global rage;
A mighty and monstrous meme for our age.

Perhaps someday the p.c. and the woke
Will finally be aware of my joke.
Too late to put back in Pandora’s box
I shrugged it off for some bagels and lox....

Hiberty jiberty liberty lox.
Quivery livery shivery shin.
Naughty Pandora opened the box
And couldn't get all of the troubles back in.
                                                  
Oh, briars of evil and nettles of sin.
Gaggles of sorrow, and worries in flocks.
Quivery livery shivery shin,
Hiberty jiberty liberty lox....

My son Jacob, he follows traditions
  Religious, he has certain ambitions

    He prays to God three times a day
    I think he even knows what to say

  Straight as an arrow, and square as a box
  Jacob took a liking to bagels and lox

    Sister snitched: Jacob prays right before he eats
     ~ that I don't slip a slice of pork in his daily treat...

Whoever came up with the bagel
  was a right-smart clever fellow
His brainstorm surely ranks up there
  with taste treats like pudding and jello

For I'd never put toppings on pudding
  like lox, tomatoes or cream cheese
And who would think of serving jello
  with an assortment of delicacies

So, a doff of the cap and three cheers
  for that purely anonymous soul
the centerpiece of whose discovery
  was quite an ace in the hole...

I was eating a bagel, 
With the late Betty Grabel 
When I accidentally,
Dropped lox on the floor
 
I thought it was cool, 
Ya know, that three second rule 
So I ate it 
Before someone had walked through the door
  
I thought it was stable 
Near the edge of the table
But it dropped off,
When Mrs. Grable had suddenly sneezed 

But nothing got on it
It just tilted her bonnet 
Thank goodness, luckily... 
Her nostrils were squeezed...

I had a meal that wasn’t square
Though all the things I’d need were there:
Some crusty bread, some cheese and fruit
And lots of salad spreads, to boot.

A plate of veggies, nicely sliced
And lox and cream cheese, which enticed.
A pot of coffee, freshly perked
And pastries (where the cal’ries lurked).

I lunched with utter pure delight;
The hostess got it all just right.
I wonder how would one prepare
A better meal to make it square....

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...
