Short Soufflé Poems

Do not be overly excited at
achievements humans display;
they’re often like a french soufflé:
no sooner risen, they fall flat.

Tom flew down to Turkey to play
But found at the end of the day
Putin had to gobble
So there was a squabble
Hence the Marmite-Putin soufflé...

Who's new at the CIA?
It's t-rump's mad clone Mike Pompeii
Oh - how we do cry
We're in a wok stir fry
While they claim it's a tasty soufflé...

Today was an absolutely fantastic day
So now I guess you know why I say
Life is full of zest
That's why I'm blessed
Can't get enough of life's yummy soufflé...

How come each morning when we greet the day
The gunk in our eyes makes us say, “what the hey!”
What good is this stuff
Enough is enough
Sometimes nature is a pain in the soufflé...

Closing in on my eighty-second birthday
Still cookin' with gas, keeping the nasties at bay
Still feed myself
Body's still svelte
Can't stop the girlies from caressing my soufflé...

Is there anything more fun than a roll in the hay
I think not, fair maiden, more than eating a soufflé
Nothing's more appealing
Than looking at the ceiling
C'mon sweetie, have I ever lead you astray...

Saw a sign in a fast food stall in our local mall
“Tables are for eating customers only” I was really appalled
Kinda barbaric I'd say
But tasty in a soufflé
Perhaps rephrasing would save one life however small...

TOO MANY BUTTONS TO PUSH

There's too many buttons to push each day
But there's one in particular, like a donkey I bray
I scream out yee haw
Sometimes get lockjaw
I'm totally scrambled like an egg soufflé

Le Petit Bistrot
I write about
is not in Montpellier.

It's somewhere else
in southern France
and tries hard to marvel me.

It's tightly jammed
in horseless street,
for who would bring the horses?

They're on the menu,
or I'll be damned.
Yes - dish at number four.

And look, for sweet
is Bon Soufflé.
I think I'll ask for more.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men,
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

The Queen’s seamstresses they tried to sew,
The footman with glue he had a go,
Even the gardener tried, with horse poo!
The wizard attempted, with something taboo.

In the end, it was over; the Priest had to pray
And Henri the chef made them all a soufflé!...

To make a light and pillowy kindness soufflé, 
you need:   two cups of generosity
                 a tablespoon of compassion
                 a teaspoon of melted tenderness
                 and a packet of goodness

Combine the generosity, 
compassion, and tenderness.
Mix until it has an even consistency.
Whisk the goodness and pour it into the mixture.
Cook until golden brown.

Once it has cooled down, serve it charitably.
There is plenty for everyone.
