          bellbottoms... flowery, flared

My Favourite Dish

Currently my favourite dish
is not mutton,chicken or fish
a soup of poetry
it's delicious, cost free
and I'm tasting  it with great relish.

Premium Member A Glutton's Plight

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!!

Yam and Ewe

Yam the ram is mean and a glutton
With his head he is always button
One day Yam Rammed Ewe
Ewe went in a stew
And since then they call Ewe mutton!

Premium Member Blue

There once was a puppy named blue
Who demolished his master’s good shoe?
So they gave him a bone
With some mutton left on
And now he has something to chew

Premium Member Unfined Cana Nouveau

On the coals,mutton stew and
fresh pitta bread rolls;
the wedding was just lacking
red wine from the vine-
a word from a king
and all was
fine !

   Mother Nature makes little piglets and lambs
      We humans slaughter them for mutton and ham 

   Lest you think mankind unusually cruel
      Ponder what lions and tigers do for their fuel

Sheep Shepherds (We Ain'T Much Smarter)

You fixin' to get CLIPPED (clueless beast!)
Or dismembered for a mutton feast
Make a break from your breeders
Don't follow lyin' leaders!
Or you gonna' get FLEECED (at the least!)

Bang Roseu the Bossu

Once there was a don called “Bang roseu”
His policy “vocabulary I bang when I speaku”
“Mutton, chicken coming going” he say 
“All roam like goats, dogs and hen” to say 
Bloody this boss is a guardian saint of education! bang roseu!

Redundant Technology

If Academia by the Military, be gifted Internet technology
Then Military replaced with what.  The www.
If Internet was no more use and turned from lamb to mutton
What technology,  do they hold now, those that will press the button.

Biryani

Blended spices mixed and
      boiled with chicken and rice, 
Best with mutton or prawns, 
      but tastes good even with
basic fresh vegetables! 
      Blast of flavoured richness! 
Bewitching special treat!

They flattered me as an expert cook Cuisine compliments with pride I took Once cooked mutton biryani Called close friends for company At night in foodquake their stomachs shook.

Rikity Skikity

Rikity, Skikity, Mikity, Squawk
If you were a sheep how would you talk?
Would you talk flock or have mutton to say?
Tell me Rikity,  Quikity, I pray.

If I were a sheep, I would not talk,
I'd sit in the fireside room, knit woollen sweaters,
And cradle a lamb, and rock...... Baaaaaaaaaaack and forth.

Drat That Drought --Contest: Acrostic

DRAT THAT DROUGHT

Relinquish water's recipe and rain from sky.
All rain dances done left California dry. 
Ignited fires baked us like a Scottish mutton pie.
Now let us wash it down with RAIN and not with rye.

Love Fools Like Us

Love fool's like us

Bottom of the dating pool

Trying to keep up with the Jones's

All about Eve

Heart on Sleeve

Love Cat's

Emotional Mushrooms

Raised in the Dark

By means of fertiliser

Retaining water 

Love fool's like us

Lamb's to the slaughter

Made of Wool

Counting Sheep

Vegetarian

Lamb dressed up as Mutton

Premium Member Seasonal Receipts

Alexander leaves now shiny green,
Young stems for a tender cusine;
Lambs lettuce in a salad course
Jacj in the Hedge with mutton sauce;
Sweet Cicely , Marjoram mix and thrive
On shingle bankswhere sa beet survives;
Tansy's spice scented for full flavour
Flowers in omlettes soon to savour;
Seasonal plants of an English clime
Medicine,herbs since ancient time.

PEEKING THROUGH THE KEYHOLE

              Pretty puppy peeking through the keyhole.
               Inside playing three kitten and one mole.
                      That was a haunted house.
                      Wandering macro mouse
                chewing, relishing rotten mutton roll.

Incidents With No Precedents

I tag them incidents
With no strict precedents:
A Hater-of-Elephant-Admirer-of-Tusk
A Critic-of-Perfume-User-of-Musk:
An Attacker-of-Night-Walks-Lover-of Dusk
A Consumer of Corn Teaser of Husk
An Enemy of Flour Friend of Rusk …

Also, who nightly tasks handle 
But never bothered to near a candle
And A Class of Eaters of Mutton,
For more asking by touching their shirt button.

Premium Member Why Antarctica

Mrs. Crow Mutton has a mission – the Antarctica or bust.
We were shocked when she ordered boots in red rust.
She ordered a down winter coat with a print on it too.
And a patterned knitted cap created by my Auntie Lou.

Why Antarctica? We asked her, for we wanted to know.
Because Michigan has never had enough sparkly snow.
And I love seeing my breath float out of my beak.
We saw her flying home to Ann Arbor the very next week.
