Short Pumpernickel Poems

Whole wheat and pita.
French, white, rye, and tortilla.
And pumpernickel....

Hark!
Peanut butter and 
Miracle Whip collide in coitus 
between two slabs of pumpernickel.

Disgusting eugenics!...

oozing with warm sweet butter
full of lovely yeast
hot from grandmother’s oven
pumpernickel too
warm hot and tasty
wheat and rye
bread...

Grab your funny bone and give it a tickle
And for life's dessert try some pumpernickel
Actually never tried it
I have to admit
But heard it was good for your left ventricle...

I fell asleep in a bread box
filled with musty, fusty rocks
rye and wheat
        whole-grained loaves
pumpernickel
        from the village stoves

once hot;
          now cold

the Baker's life untold....

I don't think I'm too fickle;
it should be kind of brickle-
without a nasty prickle
and just a bit of trickle.
My fancy, it should tickle;
goes well with pumpernickel.
If you can guess- earn nickel!
Believe me, I won't stickle-
my favored snack's a pickle!

P and P
     Pumpernickel and a pickle,
     My favorite with a slather of mayo lathered on.


     Often my friends say,"begone,
     We don't like Pumpernickel and a pickle with mayo slathered on"!


     I just smile and munch away.


     More pumpernickel, pickles, and mayo for me today!...

Bread

The smell of it
You will have a fit
Fresh from the oven
Your Grandma’s apron
Your mother’s way of buttering it
There is nothing more heavenly-tasting in the world.
Bread!...
