Short Veg Poems

Eating all plants of my garden 
Sometimes goats 
Is it a battle,
Between veg and non veg?...

The fantastical Guissepe Atchimboldo
used fruit&veg as you might know
The seasons a popular theme
his portraits were not what they seem...

Who was fond of the loganberry
His friend Reg
Would only eat veg
But Peter found fruit made him merry!...

Of a forties child-

With Yorkshire pudding,
Gravy,spuds,carrots,
Cauliflower.

In the Dandy lived a Desparate Dan,
Perhaps the world's strongest man;
A brawny westerner with stubbled chin-
His favourite dish was cow-pie,
Eaten whole...I tell no lie !...

She no longer speaks to me 
Since I went and stroked her knee
Being carried away
During afternoon tea
When she went and stole my heart
With beef and two veg
And treacle tart...

There was a young man Arcimboldo
who these days all too few do know
Some thought he traded fruit & veg
but he merely  illustrated them instead
as this wikilink will quickly show...

The square root of sixteen is four
The veg root of turnip is swede
The tooth root of dentist is pain
The route we must take is misspelled
The root of each line is a "the"

First, I start with soup and bread: 
A lentil porridge,
And then turkey breast and veg
With Yorkshire pudding -
Plenty of gravy -
Washed down with
Ale!

Dawn is here, oats are being prepared
For the boss and his kindred
For lunch it's rice & saluna, veg soup and salad
For dinner it's kousa with laban.

I haven't built a house.
Nor spread tarmac onto roads.
I have not shot a brace of grouse.
Or planting veg in rows.

I am sitting on a comfy chair,
Which my old body embraces.
I become exhausted,
When bending down to tie my shoelaces....

Ants in their hoards creeping, crawling
Ugly bugs swarm round their nest
Grubs eat my veg without warning
Under ground, moles are a pest
So okay, at least I won’t shiver…
Till we get that storm from the west...

"Waiter" I cried, "there's a shark in my soup

I saw a fin, somewhere in the gloop

Granted it's tiny, but it has me on edge

And it must be hungry, it's ate all the veg"

my plane crashed
on my way to see
my crush so now
on a desert isle i
'm sharpening a
stick into a spear
for though a veg
etarian i wouldn't
dare eat a berry or
any greens knowing
nothing about local
things but damn well
know what a wild pig
would taste like cook
ed over a fire on a spit...

Onion is most common,
oldest veg known to man
on earth. Many find its 
odour unpleasant but
onions offer many
of their health benefits
only when eaten raw.

Sid suffers from bad constipation
This causes his wife aggravation
You should eat some bran 
Exclaims his wife Fran
This requires his co-operation

But stubborn Sid won’t copy Fran
Who adores eating healthy wheat bran
And he won’t eat veg
Like their grandson Reg
So Sidney spends hours on the can

This land shall be 
but a gift from God 
you must work it 
improve it
I shall turn the first sod
my work is now done 
and your life is ahead
grow fruit and veg
run cattle, bake bread
build cities of stone 
where time can hide 
enjoy yourself
but don't lose your pride 
dream of the day 
when all men can be 
living together 
in this world, living free...

White candy floss clouds 
Float in a bright blue sky
Reflecting on a ripple free pool
A stork stands guard
and the rabbits run round
as the daffodils fade away.
The sun shines bright
with just a chill at night.
Spring is here to stay.
Bluebell covered woods 
you just have to love.
Walking in that carpet of blue.
Calorie filled eggs and Easter chicks.
And baby lambs with  mint and two veg 
nom nom nom...

Limerick : Once Meat-Eater met a Veg-Eater

Once Meat-Eater met a Veg-Eater
And they got along fine in summer
Who d’you think stopped rains
And dried up all the drains
Meat-Eater slaked thirst thanks to Veg-Eater

Then the snows from Kilimanjaro
Blizzard-driven chilled bones and marrow
Rare preys made themselves scarce
Even ants froze their ass
Whose bones Meat-Eater drained you needn’t know !

Freshening
of the chair-wherewithal
I sit and meet
the stewing news
with hearty meat and veg
The idleness
unspoken here -
here I right
no wrongs
I just belong
to the sect
that sits upon
the court that no one hears
I write
of unimportant
matters that are detained
chained to a box
a talking box
How strange
our ancestors 
would find the lies
between the perfect
teeth
of time
though linked
to an intersectional ginormous behind

ORDINARY ORANGE

Flickering flames within a fire,
the Monarch butterfly,
a burst of juicy citrus fruit,
a slice of pumpkin pie.

The California poppy,
a goldfish swimming round,
lava rock, a hearty veg
growing underground.

A terra cotta planter,
an oriole flying high,
a new day dawns, this color orange
accents a crimson sky.

Important too, it’s vibrant hue
 marks a danger zone,
so lets celebrate the shades of orange
from peach to copper tone....
