I remember tomorrow like it was yesterday
the less you speak the more you say
Turn on the lights to sleep in the day
if time is forever why does it fade.
The more I get the less I got
the less i see the more I sought
Things clearly remember best forgot
Tabasco sauce in the winter is still hot.
Being to confident can be a bore
being unsure is boring even more
Witty conversation leads to snores
enter through a window run out the door.
Heat that frying pan with some cooking oil
we are frying eggs no time to boil
Crack them eggs and let them fry
polk the yolk and let the eggs slide
Flip it over so both sides white
salt and pepper to delight
Not to boost like mine on toast
Two slices of American cheese, yes please
Melt it on top of that egg hot, gooey yumminess enough said
Mayo? say no.
Shake on that Tabasco sauce, taste is boss
Top with slice of toast, fried egg sandwich is the most.
A delight with every bite
Taste good when you do it right.
Just one egg left so what should I do
how should I devour you
Eat it raw with Tabasco sauce
chopped in a salad freshly toss
Fry it but how over-easy is fun
sunny side up but don't want it to run
Eggs Benedict with creamy Hollandaise sauce
simple fried egg sandwich would be boss
Egg salad creamy and good
poach it just right like you should
Deviled eggs are a heavenly treat
never can an omelet be beat
Hard or soft boiled just right
scramble with butter fills the appetite
An airy souffle' melts on the tongue
a golden custard pleases everyone
Make a quiche with bacon spinach and cheese
frittatas have everyone shouting, please
Separate the white from the yolk
come on now this ain't no joke
One little egg the possibilities galore
better go to the store and get a dozen more
Toast and eggs
that's all I need.
Dark and over easy
with coffee on the side.
Some OJ would be nice
and tabasco sauce for spice.
Now I'm ready for the day.
Chilled white wine
A glass for the chef
Creole seasonings
A meal in a dish
A Southern delight
Chunks of catfish fillets
Corn and lima beans
Simmering till sublime
Gather around
If spicy stew's what you want
Help yourself
Cayenne pepper
Tabasco sauce
There’s even a bit of wine left

Evasion, the dagger's sharpened strong point
Slowly has pricked love's joy until now gone
Tedious the effort to time appoint
Verbiage to one who speaks from heart of stone
Fluffy moisture laden clouds float across
the blue sky, gentle breeze stirs heart's desire
Thus love's awakening to you like dross
Intimacy through deep channels expire
Can love's embers be rekindled to flaming
hot Tabasco Sauce, open up cold heart
Let in spring's whispers of love not blaming
Uncork the closed mind to thoughts uncharted
Let not evasion of thoughts and needs trap
Reach forth and receive all from love's tap
Finis'.......
Just for PD
