Admiration is a generous wine
But intoxicates if drunk unrefined.

I take what she says
With a pinch of salt
Just like all the rest,
The sea sort I find best....

are half full of water 
seasoned with a pinch of salt
extracted from abysmal oceans 
residing behind faucets 
built into our eyes....

Take life with a pinch of salt
Add black pepper
And chilli sauce
Stir it all up and rub in your eyes
Then try not to cry

That's life

Give me
life music smile
I could listen
or even dance a little to
And
With a pinch of salt
on my french fries
I will be yours for
Ever

The main in the man,
meant just an average and mean,
that was selfish and mean,
this streak was pain in the pane,
as if pinch of salt larger than required in pan,
it traveresed life,
which ended at 80 and five....

Take life with a pinch of salt
So the old adage goes
So follow the advice
Take it from one who knows
Take life with a pinch of salt
Take it from a wise fella
Just follow it with a slice of lemon
And a good shot of tequila...

A pinch of salt or even two
  never enough, just will not do

But let it rain down, pour it on in
  you'll get ulcers faster than with Mr. Clean

The sweet spot's somewhere in between ~
  sodium bicarbonate and 'buttered pretzelines'...

Sugar and sliced tomatoes
Simmered quite a lot!
Cook til' thick, add pinch of salt
Pepper hits the spot!!
Cream cheese, tops the bread
Then spread the 
Red!




These are so yummy, easiest hor'd'oeuvres ever!
Serve on warm, toasted, sliced baguettes!

You hound me for no reason
With much envy you’re consumed
You see my disappointment
Yet rub salt into my wound. 

You pick on my emotions
Make me out to be a jerk,
You hover with a swagger
Comments passing with a smirk.

I hold to my composure
For I know I’m not at fault
Your jibes I will now take them
With a little pinch of salt.

Lithesome words like ‘love’, ‘loyalty’
And ‘liberty’
Lie, like mollusks on the sea
Bed; closed clam shut
Not revealing
Anything but
An unctuous feeling
And when prized open
By a devouring question
The contents give one
Indigestion.
So let’s not swallow
Such squirming terms
These loathsome, lithesome, worming words.
Meaningless and absurd
But if they are our sole default,
Let us take them with a pinch of salt.

Curiosity Soup

Curiosity Soup, serve with a pinch of Salt;
A warm mixture of Poetic words,
Vintage Wine or a very fine Malt.

Uncomplicated, yet satisfying and full;
Leave your taster time to absorb,
Rich flavours to savour and mull.

Give it depth yet effortless and clear,
Don't add ambiguity or pretension,
Use a clarity of words to hear.

Make it enjoyable even if emotional or sad,
Avoiding that bitter after taste,
Curiosity Soup, best you ever had....
