Do You Like it Raw?
So how do you like your sushi
just sashimi on a plate?
or do you prefer it wrapped in nori?
decorated with microgreens and eggs?
And is there wasabi?
that heat to the tongue?
just a dash or a dab?
Does it make your nose run?
Do you dip in soy?
or is it the modern aminos?
without that salty it seems a bit drab....

SUSHI LOVE
Permit me now this slight confession…
for years about sushi I’ve had the wrong impression.
I thought all sushi was spicy…I’ve thought this since I was young…
and I have an aversion to any food that burns my lips, my mouth…and tongue
I’ve also thought sushi’s main ingredient was unhealthy uncooked fish…
I mean why would I want to pay

Red Sea Urchins
Giant red sea urchins piled high on a dock.
Still live, their spines wave, beckoning me.
Soon to be processed as haute cuisine stock,
Then sent to Japan to make roe puree.
It is sad to see these poor little guys.
They move with intention to find the Sea.
Too bad that their taste tends to tantalize
The overall fondness for good

Sushi
Sushi is so dang good,
I could eat it every day.
"Oh, you would surely grow tired of it!",
You might say.
But I am here to tell you,
There is no limit,
To the amount of sushi I can consume.

Maple
Lisa, Leong and I were supposed to eat at a sushi place called “Bow Wow”. Lisa and I were coming back from our last class. I covered my face with the back of my hand and yawned as we reached the quad. Lisa put her phone in her jacket pocket and said, “She isn’t answering,

You could ask for a cooked roll,
And Theres even steak rolls!

With an amazing splash of soy sauce!

Sushi
There are all kinds of raw fish
that can be used to make sushi.
Orange salmon is quite popular these days.
Try mahi mahi or yellow fin tuna.
Mackerel, and caviar both red and black
Shrimp and surimi are still in demand.
Please don't give me any sea urchin.

Profound Magnificance the Legend of Ghetto Sushi
He stood in the middle of
The ring and asked the
Members of The
Right Stuff inc.
To stop the B.S.
And start making things
Right for the people.
In his lavish robe
And pink mask
Ghetto Sushi
Said if it comes to
Wrestling he'd out
Wrestle them
If it came to
Brawling he'd
Out Brawl them
He spoke about
Being first in line
And having his
Back turned to
All the hungry
Wolves,

She Wishes To Make a Funnel Large Enough To Put Everything In This Little Bottle
altered from ever existing
so that someone else could prosper
and be placed above you through
the uncontested means of believing
strength in the fact that anything against
others makes your position right
loyalty to your spouse
means you honor your position in marriage
following your spouse blindly is quite foolish.

me to remedy their ills
