After a day of romantic thoughts
My rhymes are geared up, ready to pop
Limericks to astound
Words so profound
Surpassing my brilliance topping my top...

Some teens went trick-or-tricking for fun
Not thinking they would have to run
When night creatures attacked
Turning them into smacked
Now they're topping on a sweet bun...

When buying milk and bread I almost dropped dead
Because when I looked at the labels they read
The bread may contain wheat
And topping that feat
Was that the milk may contain milk, so it said...

The moon ripe as a Georgia peach,
plopped itself upon the blue-blackened,
scalloped edge of the deciduous forest,
topping the syrupy squiggle of horizon
as it bled into the blue velvet night....

Cobbler fresh from the oven
A piping hot peach
Crumbled topping crisp to eat
Sprinkled with sugar
Such a tasty treat
Top with cream
Sweet!

Trying to write sillies but love words keep popping
My brain's turned to mush, my love is nonstopping
Life's a big blast
What more could I ask
Than feeling of true love with a sweet cherry topping...

I sprinkle corn in my pancake batter.
Not enough to make the pancake lumpy
but enough corn, that I taste it.
Topping off my pancake with peanut butter
and butter and maple syrup
and maybe a touch of whipped cream
just in case I need another bit of sweet...

Blueberry vanilla swirls,
slow-changing in the transient breeze
and tidal flow and ofttimes
capricious light. A citrus topping
sparkles after rain, with
jujubes of humanity clinging to their place
within a mesmerising kaleidoscope 
of sumptuous sweetest fantasy....

Grand Canyon had never seen such a cloud.
once-in-a-lifetime kind of whiteness
dollops of whipped cream
topping like no other
before or since
the rain was gentle, like a kiss
I marveled that I was there
To see this rain cloud in person
No photo could have captured it....

They nap and yawn in their dens
They clop around their turf doing nothing
They roar where there is no real danger
They throw dirt at everyone
They hibernate to their holes during storms
The pop out unscathed to be saviours
They prey on the weak, topping the food chain
Strangling others to make personal gains...

Mum’s
Baking
Pumpkin pie.
Light crisp pastry
Silky smooth topping
Adorned with pastry leaves
Topped with swirls of white whipped cream.
I start drooling; it’s so tempting
Our spoons are poised ready to tuck in  
Oh how I adore autumn harvest time!
