Mince pies
Are slang for eyes
Sounds ridiculous to me
If we had mince pies for eyes
None of us could see...

I think that I shall never see
with needles in my eyes
But all the same I'd rather be
consuming mince-meat pies....

Roti dough is at the shop
Onions in a pot
Braised then add the potatoes
Mince and curry too 
Spice to your desire
Rolled up
Yum!!...

His 'blue rinse' shocks 
Day prince ... night queen!

I’ll gross out on sweet candies, cakes and mince pies
then moan, I’ve put two inches on round my thighs!

Mince Pies

Is also London Cockney Rhyming slang for eyes

So when I look into your mince pies

I fall deep into your beautiful eyes

As they never ever lie

Do they?

DAMO...

Natural endings are destiny.
Some curtain closing situations punctuate 
themselves. Wether totally unexpected 
or well planned 
the unexpected mince minutes into
seconds, and then...

Mull over idea,
its all I have,
and all you got,
toss it,
toast it,
mince it,
grate it,
till it is good,
or proven bad,
then,
smash it,
burn it,
bury it ,
like you never had....

There was a man who loved to swat flies. 

Even when landing on his wife's thighs. 

He said. 'Sorry my dear, 

But I don't really care 

They're aiming towards your mince meat pies.'...

Only mince words for society’s detriment.
Mollycoddle youth for the future’s corruption.
Beware of using political correction,
society’s wormwood; overdose for descent. 
Today’s apocalypse is due to discontent....

It’s a strange thing looking alive in a leftovers box
Its crumbly beige and yellow with a brown layer underneath
It looks like aubergine, cream and mince, with a hint of something else
What will it do to your teeth?...

Santa Claus is coming
To all the girls and boys
Upon His shiny sleigh
Bringing sacks of toys
With his red nosed reindeers
Magic dust to make them fly
So to all you beautiful children
Don't forget He likes mince pies

Snow and snowmen.....
what about mince pies
and a slice of Morecambe and Wise?
Crackers, food and parties,
with gingerbread, grapes and drums.
Performing plays in seasonal costumes.
Decorations hang around a family reunion.
Charity definitely begins at home.
....so pass the chocolate biscuits!...

Hungry and cold as lunchtime came at last
with snatched breakfast a long gone blur,
my urge for food was taste and warmth,
but known; not new, no fads, no frills.

Not sure of how to proceed
I met by chance a well known friend,
a tattie, just baked and filled with mince
so simple meal enjoyed, i'm cheered....

I mince my words,a Wordsmith I am,
believe me and be part of my scam,
there is no truth, there is no lie,
just a Wordsmith of words am I,
I am not a trumpeter,a Wordsmith I am,
my music is prose and poetry Ma'am,
I don't stand by my word,for I set the word free,
they're but drops of water in a deceit-filled sea....

Christmas.
Holly, ivy,
Fur tree and candy canes.
Lashings of gravy, turkey crown,
Baked sticky pudding, helpings of mince pies.
Crackers, charades, family fun,
Candlelit mass, carols.
Joyful smiles this…
Christmas.

Combine chicken and yogurt; garlic, 
ginger, turmeric, cayenne. Saute mint 
and mustard-seed till aromatic and seeds 
begin to pop. This from memory, 
the cookbook’s lost. You have to intuit 
quantities, and what to slice, mince, 
chop, or dice. Serve on basmati rice 
with cilantro and condiments of choice. 
Inhale, close your eyes, taste India....
