Pie-Faced
I've oft been offered but not tempted by
large helpings of pie in the sky
from too many crooks
who indeed the broth did spoil
and so as not to be sullied
by such greasy oil
I stay out of their kitchen
not because I can't stand the heat
but what's on their menu
ain't my cup of meat
apple or cherry by the slice

Tasty Morsels
Tasty morsels may swim by
I’ll just duck down and check it out
Instead, a big fish I do spy
Tasty morsels.
Although this looks like a brown trout
Or maybe it is a walleye
They’re far to big I have no doubt.
I’ll take a breath and then retry
If nothing’s there, I’ll go without
I

Tasty Trouble
I munched on some brownies with cheer
But soon things became unclear
The world spun around
I fell to the ground
And laughter reduced me to tears

A Tasty Meal
A fisherman said as he cast his reel,
"I have a delicious dish",
to a fish.
who said,
"A fly is a tasty meal
for a trout,
no doubt,
but for bass or eel, it's not ideal.
Furthermore, this is no fly.
Goodbye.

Chocolate And Vanilla Melt And Merge In To One
A hot sweltering sticky humid evening
Heat clings and hangs in the stagnant air
Almost too hot and stifling to bear
Floods of silver wet ovaline beads
Perspire and exude from every opened pore
Trickle and slide in small ravines
Skin soaked and shines and glistens
Under subdued ambient lamp light
Darker varied shades and tones
Paint and cast shadowy patches
Upon contours crevices and

Tea and Other Such Things
Have you ever had a Christmas Tea?
I used to say, "It's not for me"
'Til recently, I tried it, see
Turns out it's the best I've had
See, I never liked hot drinks at all
I much prefer cold, in the fall
I order iced, in sizes tall
But this one isn't bad
It smells like citrus in the house
While the radio

The Best Soup
Start with potatoes, skinned and scoured
Add onion and cream that has soured
Season with pepper, stirring well
Sprinkle in some salt and just smell!
Potatoes should cook until done
This is tastiness that’s homespun!
Fill a bowl with soup, sit a spell
Sprinkle in some salt and just smell!
Couldn’t love this soup any better
Best in times we wear a sweater
Soup so

A Buck Dreams of Tasty Spring Treats
Oh, for the taste of a sweet, juicy berry,
some sweet rose petals would make me happy;
I'm so tired of woody browse and acorns,
my throat gets dry and my teeth are worn.
For an aging buck needs good sustenance;
I hate the browse cracking, such dissonance!
I long for tree buds, tender grass and shoots;
I'd kiss a squirrel for

Ode To Tasty Tangy Marmalade
marmalade in my refrigerator
marmalade in my tea
marmalade in my dreams tonight
marmalade makes me feel free
I love her orange-y flavor
her taste makes me happy all day long
I honor my friend marmalade
With this happy upbeat song
She makes me feel happy
I am smiling all the time
I love her on my toast
I love her sweet tangy tasty brime
marmalade, you

Tasty Success Is Never Hasty
A goal may be damn tough
If efforts are wisely increased
You can put to the goal cuff
By wisdom, you will be eased,
To discouragement, turn deaf
Then to help you, God is pleased
Today start, before that, you pray
Say to yourself not to have dismay
Play by solving problems on your way
If success is by you very easily got
It will

The Refrigerator
The refrigerator helps us
To store food fresh
And keep them longer
We don't have to go to market everyday
But finally we find that
We store a lot of extra food
We forget to use food in time
After long time of storage
The food may change its best quality
And we are eating less tasty

The Tasty Bits
Initially, I was convinced
that she barked madly at the moon,
enraged to find that tasty bit
of cheese was out of reach again,
diurnal pantomime played out,
quixotic tiltings of the mind,
quotidian, unfiltered thoughts
best left to unrecorded dreams.
But unbeknownst to me, there lay
hidden within those stranger lines,
contagion or a viral code,
a stowaway that slipped through the
defenses of my mind

Tasty Democracy
Tasty democratic roots
are made of trusted vines
Healthy democracy
does not chronically debate
to derail indigenous theocracy
nor diminish pursuit of individual liberty
to co-invest in political
and religious
and sexual powers
of cooperatively focused light
bright polyphonic harmony
But does compassionately refine
individual human freedoms
to do whatever successful private investors
and elite asset owners
can easily afford to self-define
as destiny anthro-divine
To monoculturally become
whomever the almighty
supremely
