A lady in sunny Rimini,
told the chef she wanted zucchini.
She finished her meal,
then said, with some zeal;
“I love, sir, a firm bucatini.”...

Zucchini fresh, sprigs of dill
Onions, boil, blend
Olive oil, salt to taste
Share soup with a friend
Lovely green goodness
Simple, light
Lunch!

A lusciously endowed beauty in a skimpy bikini
Makes me flip out, twirls the propeller on my beanie
A crossing of my eyes
Can't focus though I try
Movement is limited from my tiny zucchini...

A lusciously endowed beauty in a skimpy bikini
Makes me flip, twirls the propeller on my beanie
A crossing of my eyes
Can't focus though I try
Coz at my age, movement is limited from my zucchini...

Lock the doors,
pull the shades,
close the blinds and
draw the curtains.
Hide the kids
in the tub,
turn out the lights,
do not breathe
and be
very, very quiet.
Up the street
comes a neighbor
holding a
brown paper bag.

Zucchini...By Charlie Knowlton....

The zoo zebra had zero zest for his zombie like zoo life
But, was very zealous to zone out and count his zany stripes
Appearing to be very Zen to visitors passing by

At his zenith, he would zoom free upon the plains
Now he just zigzags around his tiny pen
Looking for zucchini snacks the zookeeper left for him...

Zucchini can be used 
    Instead of of the pasta
    Using a special gadget 
     For cutting the zucchini
     The gadget will make it
            twirl 
     Then cooked in tomato sauce
 
     A break from spaghetti
     As well the other pasta
     Bread can be made with
            zucchini
     It is tasty to enjoy...

The Forever Bees

Spring passed without them…
Their forever hum of summer was silent;
no hopeful tending to timid crocus,
no ceaselessness in the heat of the coreopsis field,
none of their hurry in the lazy slanting of passing goldenrod afternoons.
The forever bees did not come this year…
Loveless, my neighbor’s zucchini did not bear....

The master maker of exotic sandwiches is Dagwood Bumstead!

   Blondie (nee Boopadoop) views his masterpieces with dread!

      He compounds his concoctions with everything from anchovy to zucchini,

         And Bumstead could make them vanish faster than an illusion by Houdini!

The ache in my back
  puts me on track
for a double dose
  of rum and cognac

The pain in my feet
  I'd like to delete
Pour me a double martini
  stick of cherry zucchini

The throb in my head
  makes me feel half-dead
I know this sounds risky
  a liter, 90-proof whiskey

Thus fortified
  no need for bromides
We're flying to Prague
  make mine an eggnog...

	cocoons under leaves
	split open, new wings drying
	white butterflies flit


	white butterflies flit
	brilliant yellow squash blossoms
	zucchini to share


	white butterflies flit 
	tomato flowers await
	cool summer salad


	white butterflies flit
	tiny cucumbers prickle
	winter’s dill pickles


	white butterflies, gone
	eggs now hidden beneath leaves
	for next spring’s cocoons...

I am ztuck with a huge zucchini glut
An overwhelming zight
To try and rectify the zituation
I am cooking day and night 

Zautéed, grilled with cheeze 
A rather deliciouz chocolate cake 
Znuck into zalads, ztuffed or fried 
Appearing fazter than I can bake 

To avoid any kind of wazte 
I've tried giving the extraz away 
I'm over the mazzive zucchini zupply 
zo no more zucchini for me today 

 ..... zero! zilch!...

Anybody is well fed
if they like vegetables that are red.
There are onions, tomatoes, beets, and kidney beans.
Don’t forget vegetables that are green.
They include peas, lettuce, green beans,
artichokes, zucchini, cabbage, and lima beans.
They are healthy things to eat at any scene.
We have to include vegetables that are yellow.
Let peppers, squash, and carrots grow.
With all of this bounty available,
we have plenty to eat at our table.

P  Patience is a virtue, a footstep
A  Along the road of life, ambrosia
T  To a world in turmoil; the tiniest
I   Interjected bits of soul food like, Fusilli,
E  Egg pasta with zucchini and mushroom sauté.
N  Nice parmesan and pecorino cheese atop; such a crown with,
C  Cabernet Sauvignon added, for a meal so aromatic
E  Everyone will celebrate!

All Around South Had To Hike

All around South did have to hike,
And every single bit of it  did like,
To bare bone,
When alone,
Even riding trike when a little tyke.

Jim Horn

Crab with conch and zucchini and okra.
Sound familiar? Some guy said that
grits are not as good as they used to 
be. Probably forgot to put butter on 
them. Remember Gullah culture and
Charleston River Dogs and Savannah
Southerners baseball team.
Have you ever heard of Huck's in
Charleston before?...
