he chipped away his health...

You were in control...

My love for you
is bottled
aging 
to perfection
maybe
turning to vinegar.

Will the bottle break
before you sober up?...

I went from chateau blanc to become bitter
sommelier of myself vinegar at last
all love comes to an end one day...

Boiled eggs colored in yellow
Or orange dipped low
Soaked in vinegar or sauce
Flour added, not paused.
Served so hot, it fumes.
Delicious 
Woooooooo!...

O Vinegar Tom 
your belly is long
your head is of ox
your body is dog
you live with a witch
do Devilish bids
you dance to her song
O Vinegar Tom

Oil and vinegar just don't mix
When the chef tried stirring with prick
That was his slick trick
And he made the two stick
So, he named his new dressing nick...

I hear the footsteps
of a heart broken…
stomping outside the grapes;
vinegar already the grade – 
though the failure has yet
to be pressed...his label
appropriately distressed....

Ceviche is yummy
If fish is freshly caught
With lots of spices
Vinegar with slice cucumber
Crush ginger with slice tomatoes 
Calamansi and hot peppers
Plus mix with coconut milk
And a bottle of red wine....

Vivacious, Vibrating, Vibrant
    That's what I'm asking for  
  I'll see what I can do...

  Vim, Vigor, Vinegar and V-r-o-o-o-m
    Ya know what I mean?
  That's asking too much

    I was afraid of that......

Just like a red tomato
My skin, it now burns bright
Two hours in the sunshine
If only it had been night

The pain is now settling in
And the aloe offers no calm
Vinegar just smells so bad
I need a brand new balm...

Once I had the opportunity
For hard-earned, sweet success
But I yawned instead and spurned my chance
To labour and progress

And so my potential festered
Scorned sourly in defeat
Now I am left with vinegar
In place of honey sweet....

Because you can, should ya?
Unrest of the cause. The
League of vinegar, drunk with
Lavalike flow.
Yesterday will pass away.
Risen Son’s not impressed.
Anger-stew will not stand.
Go forth and love God and thy neighbor.

I apologise
For all the right things I said
to heal your deaf ears
For all the wrong turns I took
to right your left paths
For all the pain I bore
to sweeten your vinegar
For all the hidden words I wrote
to silence your dark past
I apologise...

Your full of piss and vinegar
My dad used to say
I don't want to smell like pee
To my mother I'd cry my way

Since I wouldn't use the toilet
The pee turned to vinegar over time
This is how my dad potty trained me
It still works on grandchildren of mine...

CONFESSIONAL

I confess to an addiction 
If I’m honest, no it’s two
On the scale of dire affliction 
They don’t count for much ado

So I’ll say it, take the risk 
While confessional I’m tackling
It is salt and vinegar crisps
With a large side of pork crackling...

Salt a mess of fresh blue crabs
Steamed in a beer broth,
with onions and Old Bay spice. 
Mix vinegar with
Worcestershire sauce.
Pick, dip, eat.
Treat!


note: Have plenty of cold beer and paper towels on hand!

Oh, sure, Mr. Ruff can handle these kits, the Mama Cat said.
She gave him all kinds of credit and kept her dog-sitter well fed.
Mr. Ruff did his best, he really truly did, but they got the best of him.
He was too easy on the kittens, who were full of vigor, vinegar and vim....

Behold, man must offer
 the true taste of instinct
 and like craving conquerors
 unleash the bitter sword of her regime
 and in the tickling of the clock
she 'll embrace her  fortune
 knowing fully well the sweenest of honey is justified only when vinegar has been 
tasted....

Crab Froth

      Smashed crab, in corn soup.
       Just grab with tiny pieces
        of green chili soaked
         in vinegar to taste best.
         Relish slowly: Make no haste.
