Certain days coffee just hits the spot
This is one of those days when all is right
The birds sing only positive happy tunes
There are no more wars... this is utopia...

between the remnants
of the clawed and rips
of the real
from beneath the jagged edges
i glimpse the vastness of the nothing
and oh how it welcomes
with its trumpets of buzz
and numb that hits the spot...

I wonder if it likes being ice cream?
I suppose it does;
It always appesrs in the summer,
It never conflicts with you taste-buds;
Some people say that it will make you sick if you eat a lot,
It makes small children happy and always hits the spot....

Forgiveness is a tonic

A most powerful potion

It goes down ever so smoothly 

It tickles my tummy

A surprise in the middle of a turbulent hot day

The cure for what ails my scorched heart

Forgiveness goes down the hatchet and just hits the spot!

When winter comes it’s very cold
You’re always near for me to hold

In the summer when it’s hot
Your iced sweet tea sure hits the spot

Then fall arrives with blowing leaves
Hand in hand walking in the breeze

Spring brings beauty and hope in life
Just like you my soulmate and wife...

I am popular at holiday time
    a gift folks keep on giving
  So many varieties and colors of me
    stores stock me to make a living

  Once cigars were real competition
    though today they face fierce opposition
  I'm the last-minute gift that hits the spot
    My lot's everlasting ~ tied up in my knot...

Chop onions into black sauce pan.
Smell wavers up, nostrils expand.

Some like topped with bread, cheese.
Tasty without. Goes down with ease.

Beef broth hits the spot, it's hot.

We're having it with BLTs and fries.
I rinsed the onions and I didn't cry.

Soup's simmering on stove for dinner.
It smells so good, sure to be a winner....

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!

Of simple pleasures
that I love the most

Topping the list
Tea and toast

It never fails to satisfy
In fact it hits the spot

I never scream for ice cream
It's seared bread and an Earl grey hot

Late at night or crack of dawn
all else except  bacon makes me yawn

Now that's a trifecta I can get behind
Tea,toast,and bacon  fully alligned...

I feel loved in every season
I’m sure glad you are the reason

When winter comes it’s very cold
You’re always near for me to hold

In the summer when it’s hot
Your iced sweet tea sure hits the spot

Then fall arrives with blowing leaves
Hand in hand we walk in the breeze

Spring brings beauty and hope in life
Just like you my soulmate and wife

Nothing really hits the spot
like fresh-made veggie dip.
All those green and crunchy things;
it really is a trip.

There are always mushrooms, too,
to add a little zest.
Of course, they don't really crunch,
but I like them best.

I make my dip with sour cream
then add the mayonnaise,
garlic, onion and fresh chive;
it really does amaze.

Twirling into the wind
Steps moving to a pace
Hips swinging to the beat
Ears Feeling the Timbre
The tune to a melody
Its base a Bongo
Shaking to a Maraca
Accents to a Trombone
He is the Lead
So she follows gliding
Rhyming with all shes got
His moves 
He hits the spot
Rhythm of the Heart
From start to finish 
Till the end they repeat
Twirling into the wind...

If I was to stand right in front of the jury,
guilty of committing an offence against the society,
I would solemnly walk to the front.
I would face the judge, witnesses and accusers.
I would be ready for any sentence(s) passed on me,
after the hammer hits its spot.
I would only stand in front of the court, only
if I was charged for loving you in the first degree......

Loose teas, bagged teas, hot.
At dinner, iced tea hits the spot.

Earl Grey, green tea, Lipton.
Honey, lemon, sugar; sip on,

Watching TV, before bedtime.
Reading leaves worth a dime?

Been drinking tea for years.
It's medicinal, or so I hear.

Healing powers, lose weight.
There isn't a tea that I hate.

Have a variety in my cabinet.
They're good for me, I bet....

Spicy hot chili
on a frozen winter day
Nothing better
to keep the chills away

Mac and cheese
melted globs of cheese gooey goodness
seconds please

Hot soup hits the spot
to warm you up its tops
Yummy yum savory broth
warms you up a lot

Beef stew with a rich sauce
on a cold winters day is boss
The aroma makes you lick your chops

Lip smacking tummy rubbin
finger licking mouth shoven
Comfort foods from pot or oven
warms the body home love'n...

Some like it hot
  Some like it cold
When it's cold in Chicago
  My bones feel old

Some like it cold
  Some like it hot
When it's cold in Chicago
  A bowl of soup hits the spot
 
Some like Illinois
  Some do not
With the new legislation
  The state's going to pot

Some like America
  Some do not
Between Trump and Ilhan Omer
  The whole country's distraught

Some like poets
  Some do not
I can only tell you this:
  They give it all that they've got...
