I love this plant so much
Roselle jam if sweeten and cooked
down to a spreadable consistency
is similar to other fruit jam.
Roselle juice is a refreshing drink
made by the calyxes in water in water
and often sweeten to taste.
Roselle leaves a good dish for soup.
Roselle bark if dried and boiled is good for tea
Both are known for their vibrant red color
And tart, slightly floral flavor profile
Plus, they are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants
Offering potential health benefits.
Each night she left him bleary -
his mind foaming in a glass
of Guiness.
Disappointments wore her life thin,
nuptials picked to a fugue and dinge,
by his thick-tongued spiel.
“I can change him.”
Nothing changed.
Long she withered and waned.
Friends doled out sympathy
like spreadable butter,
yet her bread was dry.
Long she withered.
Daily she wiped
a vinyl calico tabletop
wet with spilled beer
and self-pity.
She got a second job.
Throwing Shade is aimed at one's aspirations,
dreams, and optimism, Throwing Shade.
Including confidential matters once shared one's
thought might be kept privileged,
information at one point handed out is now
disclosed, Throwing Shade.
Unrestrained talk spreads like wildfire, Throwing
Shade.
The company you keep amongst others you're
aptly aware that one does not mingle with,
Throwing Shade.
Feeling like if one is in contempt of court, hold
one's tongue for anything mentioned will be
used against one, Throwing Shade.
For what purposes? was it something that was
said? One playing both sides for tittle-tattle
en route for gain? Which one is fame and fortune,
Throwing Shade.
When you know one doesn't engage in fictitious
shenanigans, Throwing Shade spreadable like drawings.
To make this one easy to spread,
You will need.
At least one high profile celebrity,
Or Politician.
You could substitute any person who is in a high position of trust.
An event organiser,
And a Spin Doctor.
Method,
Remove the high profile brain and wash it thoroughly,
Making sure to remove any family ties,
And burning them,
So they can not grow back.
Once the brain is back in place,
You are ready to introduce the spin Doctor to the mix,
No skimping on Quality here,
If you want some grains of truth still left on the newly washed brain.
When you are satisfied the spin Doctor,
Has got the theory to a spreadable consistency,
Then it is time to entrust it to your event organiser.
The beauty of this recipe apart from the fact,
That no one wants to claim copyright on it,
Is that it can be made to fit any theory,
With little change of ingredients.
Good luck and remember I didn't give you the recipe.
I went out sailing on Sandwich Sea
With my motley crew of make beliefs
In a boat of pumpernickel with masts of cheese
Mustarding our courage in a spreadable breeze
We watched peanut butter jelly fish swimming by
Along with a school of tuna fish on rye
But it was the salmon egg salad that caught my eye
When a storm of salt and pepper rained from the sky
Waves of mayonnaise tossed us to and fro
Thinking we might sink in our breaded boat
Saved by a 12 inch sub that surfaced on that note
Helping the boys and me to stay afloat
As they lettuce out of danger and set us free
No one spreading joy was happier than me
With my motley crew of misfit make beliefs
Sailing the high cheese out on Sandwich Sea
There I stood faint-hearted at the mercy
Of your requite.
Hearing that rumbling thunder
In my mind
I plucked a red rose that withered
Straightaway as my spreadable disquiet
Infested it
Left, centre, right
In my desperate quest to stop the storm
I felt bubbling up, bubbling up, in you.
Oh! I nearly fainted to get it that there was no rainstorm
Building up but a warm welcoming heart
On that day I would have you crucified
If the wrong was against me.
It seems as if the
World has gone insane,
Spreadable poison through
Everyone's brains.
We can try to save the one's not effected,
But there would be no use.
The same Diseased Poison,
Will soon control you.
Bring your masks,
It's spreading through the air,
The truth in it all is that
We could all stop it,
But we can't do it alone,
And too many people,
Xx Just Don't Care Xx
