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...

Taco Taco

I like tacos,
nice and crunchy

and even lunchy.

Filled with beef,

Mexican food

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


     Picasso, Da Vinci,
     spicy taco, broccoli


To each his own, 
to each his mood.
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.

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.

Words

Of regret
shedding its skin
across my paper

Words

Of malice
pebbling my skin
in a hailstorm

Words

Of kindness
tie-dye my tshirt
orange, magenta, blue

Words

Forged of steel
slicing
A hot knife through butter

A taco chip

double-dipping

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.

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.

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.

Your like a cup of Kool-Aid baby you’re so sweet 
Like lobster for dinner you’re not cheap
Some red wine in my glass because baby you got class
Like dessert on my plate I just can’t pass
Your like fried chicken your golden brown 
Just like a taco your bottom is nice and round
Your like some fresh honey straight out of a bees hive
Just like some water I need you to survive.

No Hot Dog for this dog
I'm a little puppy that loves to eat.
Ham bones, pork chops that are great.
But no hot dogs for this dog.
Pizza and chips they make me flip.
Ice cream and cake i can rake it in.
But please no hot dogs for this dog.
I'm the queen of the house, even the mouse don't get the chesses
Steak or nothing for me. 
May be a taco for this taco.
Just no hotdogs!!...

Fried flour shell, shaped like a bowl
Filled with ground meat, beans
Lettuce, tomato, glorious cheese
Topped with sour cream and guacamole

Melt in my mouth delicious!!

I wonder if this is one of those americanized dishes started by the Mexican, basic
Menu and perfected to tastiness for the American pallet?

Does not matter but I love a taco salad, with corn chips and salsa!!...

I won't say goodbye
It's hard to say goodbye to you.
You capture my heart as well as my love.
Your cry when you was barked to get up/
Your happiness just to be with me.
I won't say goodbye my Taco.
You died so young.
Without a kiss 
Without a cry.
Without a goodbye
I won't say goodbye but a so long for now.
Till we meet again A kiss to you and a so long
i just won't say goodbye 
Love you Taco So long...

But daring and wild,
I am still but only a child,
the sauce I choose at taco bell is not mild.
For fire is the one I choose and the one I use. 
If you dare me 
I swear I wont loose, but ignorant I am in the eyes of the wiser.
Clever I am in the eyes of my common friend and foe.
Wise I am to them, sadly inheriting a skill of a miser.
The only difference between me and you is that I row
thru the sea's of time lacking experience.

Onion Top Lollypop, Pickleberry Pie, 
Weaselade and Red Canary 
baked with a sigh.

Purple Meat Taco Treat, 
Toe jam on a roll;
these are things you'd like to eat
if you were a troll.

Salad made of peanut shells, 
toenail chips and chrome.
These are things you'd love to chew
if you were a gnome.

And what do hungry goblins want
when tummies growl for food?
Turkey beaks and
chicken feet 
and
KIDS 
WHO ARE NOT 
GOOD!!!

maybe i need a sweet change
driving down an avenue
looking at all new things
digging cherry flavored scenes
chicken kabob feeling
taco salad nature
wish for peppercorn ranch waterfall
i will even take a drizzle

maybe i need a sweet change
driving on an island
looking at candy houses
wanting their twin sisters
clam chowder serenity
grilled scallops soothing my mind
wish for sweet buttered cornbread
how i long the sound of a simple sizzle...
