A Tuesday with tacos is swell,
But Wednesdays can sometimes be hell;
For south of the border
To remain in order,
You’d best stay away from the Bell!...

     Fine flour folded food,
     Broil beef, broccoli, and beans,

There once was a short man from Morocco
Who suddenly found  himself caught in a Sirocco
He lay down to pray
And on his last day
Had himself a quick per-packed taco...

Played a ukulele with his thumb on his shoe
We stood by and watched, ate taco pie too.
Loving the ambiance as we ate up our goo....

One problem with gasoline is, it smells
Another is, prices are high as hell --
  But a real good friend of mine
  Pays just a buck forty-nine --
Says he stocks up daily at Taco Bell...

Superpower leader said:
"Sometimes kids fighting
like crazy in the yard, can't be parted."
"Best leave them fight on for a while."

Timid Tom had a typical token,
a tiny teddybear,
a tasty taco,
a tattered tophat

Tom had his things taken by taunting Tess
, but Tom toughen 
So he told the tall teacher
Now he is no longer timid Tom...

and choice of food,
your taste and mine are 
just as good.

No one's chic or
classy, gross or crude!...

Major Detraction Horn Limerick

Instead of Trump being major detraction
What about him could give us satisfaction
And after having to look for a long haul
About having Mexico build a big wall
Taco truck on each corner, what is reaction.

Last Thanksgiving our vegan Aunt Marie
Served tofu turkey and beansprout green tea
The dinner was quite frightful
Yet we all cheered delightful!
This Thanksgiving it's Del Taco for me

Tacos are a delight
I think I want one tonight
Something crunchy to eat
Nothing sugarly just hamburger meat

Not just one, I want a whole bunch
For breakfast, dinner, snack, and lunch
Lettuce, tomato and mexican cheese
Lets go get one now momma, pretty please...

Prayer for the Priests of Mexico City


July in the streets 
of Mexico City:
One of the women 
one never would marry.
One of the women one sees 
for an hour, for an evening.
Taco, tequila, 
tequila with lemon.
Christ keep the priests
of Mexico City.

The internet has replaced doctors
We look up our symptoms and
order prescriptions online.
choosing to doctor ourself.
How will the doctors make a living?
How will they pay their exorbitant
insurance?
Will they have to start working
at Taco Bell like the rest of us?
A humbling thought....

Words

Of regret
shedding its skin
across my paper

Words

Of malice
pebbling my skin
in a hailstorm

Words

Of kindness

orange, magenta, blue

Words

Forged of steel
slicing
A hot knife through butter

A taco chip
of Words
double-dipping
into a soul...

Outside the city where the pomegranates grow,
In barns of maple and calico,
Quiet sounds enter the mind
Like buried treasures you’ll never find.
So I make a horse and you make a saddle.
The big flood comes and we both find a paddle.
Marmalade, Marmalade where did you go?
Perhaps that taco shack north of Kokomo....

Best taco pie I ever tasted looks like actual pie
It was made by a master chef named Mr. Why.
He perfected his craft in Ohio, a town called Sly.
Don’t ask him for the recipe though, said his brother Cy.
He will get angry, and you will not get a piece of pie.
He likes people to come into his restaurant ready to buy....

Taco shells are made of yellow corn meal.
They are tasty and crunchy, and usually a good deal.
You can stuff them with ground beef, chicken, or even fish.
Fill them up with plenty of whatever you wish.
Tacos are something folks north of the Rio Grande adore.
However, they break too easily and spill their contents on the floor.

The best gift I received was a cover 
In 1975 from my mother
You are thinking ‘that’s a terrible presents’ 
But back then we were cold, hungry peasants. 
It was fluffy polyester with rayon
Or was it pink polyester and nylon?
It was labeled a ‘velvety soft mink’
Never washed it became the ‘pink stink’
I would turn myself into a taco
And feel like I’d won life’s big lotto....
