A pickled earth soured
As the soil is deflowered
Tons of weeds uproot...

Was obsessed with pickled beets
Her skin was beet red

Poached a persimmon

Now, wasn't it sad about Snyder,
The light hearted, fun loving spider?
He got a gnat in his eye,
While pursuing a fly,
And fell into a barrel of cider....

Small and fantastic.
So tender, little hostess!
Perfect Brussels sprouts,
Pickled red cabbage,
Whipped cream and-

I... don’t mean to waste your time,
But... boy dose me wife bloody whine.
Do this, do that,
The miserable old bat
I found peace when I pickled her in brine...

With stilton cheese and garlic bread:
This breath of love is just for you!
(Although you gag and turn your head…)

Pickled farts I gotta  let you know
If it tickles when it comes out your hole
You better beware
When you stare down there
You probably pebble dashed the toilet bowl...

Cabbage is pickled in a glass jar with plenty of red pepper.
Buried underground, it lies undisturbed as it ferments away.
It takes several months of aging before what we have is Korean “kim-chee“.

Peter Piper picked a peck
Of pickled peckers...
After the laughter subsided
I was in a peck of trouble,
In a real pickle so to speak.
Thank god he wasn't a woodchuck.
I'd still be saying Hail Mary's.

bluish seagulls encroach
the greenish out fields of
torture bestowing the lamented
souls pickled thoughts
bizarre regiments of
curious wants bombarding
the elements of vernacular needs
i shed tears of blood
on your decorated tomb...

Pickled herring in a pie?
Scrumptiously delicious. Do or die?
The idea makes me ask grandma why….
Do you use wheat or rye?

Marmalade makes it a great buy.
The combination is easy to try.
Mustard too and will we need to fry
Pickled herring in a pie?...

Food is good
Food is great
Ok, food is life
I love food
I’ll eat any kind
Sour or sweet
Spicy or salty
Bitter or juicy
I eat it all..
As long as it is not pickled cabbage
I eat cheese and bacon
I eat pasta and apples
Food is good 
Food is great
Food is life...

Don’t you know I like things sweet?
Sewage water and pickled feet
Noses that run like Kenyan jocks
And year old milk that’s kept in socks
Don’t you know I like things wild?
Little old ladies with crocodiles
Butterflies and taser guns 
Grizzly bears that have the runs...

What a good question is this,
I read it on Facebook's blip,
What, Willie Nelson does ask.
Are teen leaving us? The task!
Old Willie and Keith Richards, lo!
They really need to know,
Pickled on booze, sex and drugs,
No healthy vegie juice to chug,
Aging is a blast, free hugs!...

I've been told,
I'd be the white spot,
On a set of pure white sheets,

Last blood test came up,
40% Budweiser I am told,
I will surely be well pickled,
No matter how many years old,

The waiter brings a tray,
We call out for more drinks,
All that I gotta' say,
That this life surely stinks....
