Short Snacked Poems

For breakfast I sat down with sweetened cocoa,
then snacked on Hershey kisses all day long.
A chocolate cream éclair I had with dinner.
I’m changing my bikini for sarong.

This was my day to turn into a sinner.
For breakfast I sipped cocoa, sweet and strong.
Decadence - fudge sundae - was lunch’s winner!
I snacked on Hershey kisses all day long.
Chocolate eclairs I had with dinner.
Might add to my bikini a sarong!

Modeerf the dragon
lived inside
a mountain
in the cave he was born in
by a waterfall fountain
he snacked on vines
that tasted like wine
hid in safety
from dragon hunters
stayed too long and
grew too large to leave
one day in desperation
he polished a flat rock
into a mirror finish and
saw that his reflection was
the shape of a man
named Freedom...

Having trekked and snacked on dates and raisins, so        ---------- TASTY
Smiles now appear  as they now sample  			    --------- BACON...

There was a hole in your cage
And out ran you
Head held high and laughing
Like a gerbil would do
You hid behind the dryer
And maybe slept a few
And had a merry time
Thinking we couldn't catch you
You grazed on paper
And snacked on the lint
All the while we were wondering
Where the heck you went
But there you sat
After a bout of being free
No more running and hiding
You  said  catch me
Put me back in my cage
Shut the door tight
Fix that hole in my roof
And, watch out, I bite!...
