Manipulated raw bleached rolled wheat
Hard spaghetti facilitated
That melts in your mouth
Burns your eyelashes
Pinches your ears and nose
Blue marinara sauce. sauce.
That's too hot, so sweet to meet
All that's left
Is a dessert plate rabbit raw,
yet it all tastes great.
Crunck! Crunch.!
As I munch, yummm!
Thisravished raw royal spaghetti

the tortoise taught us
how to peel and prepare potatoes
as the llama was alarmed
singing la la songs with her ma
the horse became hoarse
rehearsing his shouting at the hearse
as the hyena had a hernia
hiding heinously in the honey jar

Streams of savory sauce
Pass the pasta's inspection
As mushrooms and garlic
Gather steam.
Hamburger holds the fort,
Each blast of herbs stands guard.
The picnic table sets the stage.
Thy red wine dances in.
It's a family splash.
your locks like rye spaghetti snakes
as you row blue boat upon calm lake

I am hungry for spaghetti today
no Italian in me, but this does not sway
my McCormick Irish and English Stone say
spaghetti it is, being eclectic is okay
Delicious meatballs over fresh spaghetti.
A glass of chianti on the side.
Sprinkle a hint of parmesan.

A generous glass of chianti.
Give me a colossal serving of lasagna.
I’ll be a happy gal.

Meaty meatballs resting on spaghetti
Toasting garlic bread then top with cheese
Indeed the most delightful sight

Sans white sauce, just melt butter,
stirring garlic salt
and grated parmesan right
into your pasta.
It’s extra yummy
with bacon
bits!
My mother cooked spaghetti
When she made her fish croquettes,
The salmon from a can, a dish
One easily forgets.
Ronzoni was her pasta brand;
The box was blue and bold.
This never varied, even though
Some other brands were sold.
The water boiled inside a pot
And when the time arrived
To drop in the spaghetti,
We were somehow all deprived
Of a meal Italians would condone
Because – you might just laugh –
To make the cooking easier,
She broke the strands in half!
It never felt quite right to me,
Yet when I cook today,
I understand exactly why
She made her dish that way.
You have to force spaghetti down,
Unless your pot is huge,
So breaking it in half is like
A clever subterfuge.
I cook it in the proper way
And haven’t backed down yet,
But I still can’t get my spouse to try
The go-with fish croquette!

Symbolizes long life,
Specialty of each wife;
Sauce--so meaty to drool,
Satiates and makes us full!
So flavorful in sight,
Super Christmas delight,
Sumptuous meal’s highlight.
eating spaghetti
a happy messy meal
meat sauce on my chin
others twist it onto a fork
a skill I never learned
i slurp it up like a straw turned into a snake
Spaghetti Rose couldn't see her toes,
For all the noodles up her nose!
Inhaled by the bale,
All else would pale,
When Spaghetti Rose ended up in jail!
You see,
She had stolen a load of spaghetti for her nose!
i sat down
at a table,
and
i picked
up my
fork.
the fork had
several noodles
with
sauce wrapped tightly
around
it,
but when
i picked
it up,
they slid away
into
the dark abyss.
