The road trips are for snacks.

That fire playlist to chew on,
a bag of Smartfood to munch on,

some Sparkling Ice to sip on,
then baby we’re gone! 

Chunky sub sandwich for lunch,
you probably had a hunch.

I eat them toasted a bunch,
I’m addicted to that crunch! 

This bag of almonds I chose,
tasty enough to inspire prose.

So delicious I’d

Corn Snacks

Corn Snacks

I’ve been made conscious of 
the fact that 
corn snacks thought up the
first computer programming language used for 
math and 
scientific aim.

Midnight snacks

The beauty of the evening,
The blushing horizon in the west
I adore much the taste
Of sugary sweets blended
In the black coffee
In the mug of beautiful evening
Moistens my thirsty throat,
To alleviate an exhaustion 
After my daily affairs.

The glow of appealing eve
Freezes to the stark darkness.
Thin cover of Black Satin
 Sets nightly all over my body.
The cool and

Start Reading Some Book

Let Hans start reading some book:
Let him not this overlook
Or it shall him later hook
In a school they don't scores cook,
Her exit door for the crook
And who thinks he can rook...

Let him now try his textbook,
Who never his meals forsook
And sweet snacks made sure he took,
Who'd not turned-off radio brook,
For shows and concerts long look;
At

Poetry Snacks

Orange peels litter my desk,
sprinkling sparkling droplets of orange oil
over my unfinished love sonnet

A croissant is over there,
I just remembered.
It soaks my slam poem,
which I shall never perform,
with buttery heaviness

Jelly beans, blue, red, green, white,
to be found on the remote island of
my travel diary, as profuse with blank verse
as the ocean is profuse with fishes

A

Premium MemberA Case For the Pretzel

Today is National Pretzel Day…the day to give our hats a tip
to the long-suffering cousin of the more popular potato chip.

I’m not sure how it happened…why or where or when
but in a list of the most popular snacks...pretzels aren’t in the top 10?

How can they lose out to Cheetos...sure they may be a little bit

Movie Snacks

When I was a kid at the movies
With money to purchase a snack,
I wouldn’t buy popcorn or bonbons
Or Bonomo’s taffy to crack.

My favorites were strange, I admit it
And ones that I’d never now buy.
The first, root beer barrels, were tasty
And gave me a soda-like high.

The other was Chuckle-like chewies
But all of one flavor, in green,
Called

Our Seagulls

Seagulls fly white high
Looking with their eye
For your popcorn and
French fries on the tile.

Soaring through blue the
White seagulls paste against
The sky as white kites soaring
With a seagull call for snacks.

When you see the seagull
Landing quietly a white and gray
Sneaky seagull snatches
Potato chips with glee.

Whisking over and near
Seagulls like looking at
You eating your ice cream cone
And

I Want, But Don't Need

Yes, "I Want, But Don't Need" is my waistwatcher creed 
     as I walk by each vending machine.
All those chocolate chips calling out to my hips,
     colored Reese's in pieces - obscene!
Will willpower surmount the cholesterol count
     of PayDays

Premium MemberWelch's Fruit Snacks

Ok, I think I'm addicted to Welch's fruit snacks
They come in little packets and I keep going back!
The box is empty....way too fast
I may have to get help for this at last!
Or maybe I could be on a commercial one day somehow
Make some money telling people how great these are

Premium MemberSleepwalkers

She did not recall those nightly forages
 Those midnight snacks had packed on the pounds
 From her eating habits she couldn't disengage
She needs to solve the mystery of those midnight rounds

 Her husband was suspicious too
 And he wondered what he should do
 For someone was putting miles on his car!
 It was really quite

I tried to eat a baseball cap
A dreidel and some lumber
Some beetles and a monkey trap
And now this swell cucumber.

The Worst of Midnight Snacks

In the middle of the night
With sleep still in my eyes 
I stepped into my kitchen 
And received quite a surprise 

As I reached out my hand
And flicked the light on
There were balloons, confetti, party hats
With a banner that read -WELCOME HOME-

I'd caught thousands of roaches
In the middle of song
They all turned and looked at

Bar Snacks

Bar Snacks

A man walks into a pub
And asks if they sell bar snacks.
The barman says that they do,
"We've got roast goblin,
Grilled leprechaun
And deep fried fairy"
The man thought for a moment
"They all sound very tasty
But don't you serve anything elfy?"

Blood For Breakfast, Nails For Lunch, Souls For Dinner, Hell For Snacks

Insane is the brain 
Cerebral in infinity
Without endless thoughts
Counting backwards 
To cascade forward
What is reality of the mind
And what is pure illusion of the heart
I make believe that what I say exists
But a figment is fruit from the Gods
Given to mortals as trickery
Promethius was tricked into death
By living again each day
I was fooled into breathing
By
