C uisine on a spoon or plate for afters
H eaven coats my tongue the dish of masters
E asy peasy recipe so sweet
E xtra portion swallowed what a treat
S auce swirls, noisettes, a blob or two of cream
E arthly pleasure, luxury or dream
C hoose a honey pot ye sweet tooth diners
A sk a chef making tummy liners
K eep gorging comfort food for goodness sake
E at yourself hearty this stuff takes the cake
Classic, the recipe for French pastry
Heavenly to the palate and tasty
Open middle with a filling so creamy
Custard that's called crème patisserie
Observe the delicacy of this treat
Longing to have just one lil' bite to eat
At this moment, I feel myself itching
To bake a dozen eclairs, perhaps more
Exposing the layers that I adore.
Extra delicious, the ganache topping...
Chocolate glaze I'd eat without stopping.
Last bite taken, savored it to the end
Accompanied with milk or coffee blend
If you've never tried one you really should
Rest assured you will find them very good
Sweet morsel is the eclair confection.
slithery, sneaky, slimy, silly, snake
tangled in tangerine tulips that make me ache
Understandably the most frightening animal around
Venomous and virile, I watch him sneak underground.
Will he return? We sit in anticipation, me and Kim.
‘Xtra extraordinary expectations went along with him
aristocratic antelope alarms and annoys
blue-eyed baboon’s billy goat buster
causing confusion, consternation and crying
distressing and disturbing deliberate donkey
egg-producing egret elevates enthusiasm
forever frolicking in farmer fred’s pastures
giddy goats gallop in garnished with garlands
happy horse henry hypnotizes henrietta’s hens
intense iguana ignores idiocy of inmates
jackals justify jack rabbits jelly-like jeers
kangaroo keenly kicks off kingly kibitz
luxurious llamas lollygag in the lounge
mischievous monkeys march among marshes
nervous newts nibble on nutty Nutella
obnoxious oxen opts out of outrageous opportunities
preening peacock praises his pompous president
quivering quail questions quaking quasar
rustic rooster ruffles robin’s restlessness
sassy songbirds swizzle and sway toward sand beach
talkative turtle trains tarantula to twist and turn
understudy Ulysses utilizes universal unitedness
validating vocabulary of vicious vultures
wandering weasel wants to find his wishes
‘xacting ‘xtra ‘xhibitions ‘xperiment on eagle’s nest
yellow yak yawns next to yipping young wolf dog
zealous zebra zips into view of aristocratic antelope
" Do I look EMUSED?" Quote by EMU bird mistaken for an ostrich.
Emu second largest.
Eggs bright emerald green.
Eyes are beady light brown.
Every emu’s flightless.
Eat pebbles to digest.
Easily fooled not smart.
Extra long legs run fast.
New poem..by Slode.....
Xtra Special Fool 69
I was just a little guy
But was calculated
I could rip off the charm
Rip off the charm
Right from your mom
Never caring who conspired
The laugh at the end
As hard as diamonds
The last moment of the day
Sure got a cold bed
The last moment of the day
It's the only way to keep your head
Can anyone bring you down
Sure got a heartache
Paradise lost
On the vein of your tongue
Away from the lingering night,
Behind the curtains, I have dwelt,
Cut off from the radiant light,
Desperately, I searched for a way out,
Elements of hope were listless and frail,
Futile were my attendant efforts,
Gigantic were the gates that stood before me,
Helpless I was,
Irked by my inability,
Jagged road I have come through,
Kindness of friends has been a prop,
Listening to His voice has been succour,
Mastering His acts has bewildered me,
No one is immutable,
Opportunities sometimes come as disguised parcels,
Perseverance, a key to unlock treasure chests,
Quiet ambience harnesses locked potentials,
Rat race is a bane to originality,
Savour nature’s warm embrace,
Tardy steps don't hinder the day’s dawning,
Unveiled are the night watchers,
Vain is man's help. They can't see you inside out,
Whisper in the still of the night brings home the lost piece,
Xtra doesn’t fit in perfectly,
Yonder I’d love to go through the celestial gates,
Zest and vigour – medicine to a weary soul.
May 27, 2022.
Muzzle the people while making billions
unleash a maelstrom of communist virus
into the veins of the harlot media tyrants
into the hat of power magician- politicians
spread fear-mask -divide the people
inoculate a frightened population
with experimental vaccinations
endless mutations-booster brigades
rinse and repeat-new age slaves
frighten-mask-silence-divide-globalize
turn abnormal into normal.
Stalinize the children
brand parents as terrorists...
groom their children not to think
to blindly follow Godless sheep...
where abnormal is normal
godisdevildevilisgod
menarewomenwomenaremen
While in our mental lethargy...
a man tinkling the word "woke"
in the stall next to the little white girl
who's being taught that she is inherently racist.
This is just the beginning, folks:
wake up mamma bear
lock and load pappa bear...
fight for the soul of your children
there's a snake poking holes in the nest
of New Eden
stealing eggs at your expense
fight for the soul of your children
slap the snake with the rake of God..
separate the wheat from the chaff
sprinkle today with the blood of snakes
Amen!

B: be the person you want to see.
C: Casualties may come and go

F: fancy life without the dicks.

H: hell up
I: in heaven would never begin.
J: Just believe and
K: know and see
L: love and life in eternity.

Abominable Aborigine
Boycotted Baltimore’s Bakery
Canady Canola’s Cannery
Decoded deceitful debauchery
Endless energetic energy
Forwarded farmyard frolicking for a fee
Geographically greeting in Germany
Hardcopy happiness hee hee hee
Ignoring ignorance illegally
Juicy juggling juggernauts
Kettledrums, Kenya and Kentucky
Livening up our literacy
Maniac madness in a manatee
Nightingale nips so nervously
October’s ocelot obviously….
Paralyzes Petunia Parkway’s parenthesis
Quaking quail quickly qualifies me
Relaying relative radioactivity
Scapegoats and scarecrows so scantily
Treat Tajikistan twice tactfully
Undermining Ukraine’s utter ukulele
Vaporizing various vanities
Wicked Washington warrants wisely
X-rays xylophones ‘xtra-instantly
Yellow jackets yield young yearly
Zippy Zeus’s zesty zoology zings with zeal between you and me.
Making the most of our talents and interests,
All around anticipation allows awesome attitudes
‘Xtra ‘xciting ‘xpectations ‘xpand possibility thinking
Illustrious inspiration instigates incentives and ideas
Magnitude of momentous meandering means meaningful masterpieces
Imagination clarifies and entices us to stretch to our limits
Zealous zest zings people into accepting affirmations and actions
Eager enthusiasm initiates additional interest, enhancing ideals.
Awful avocados always
Breathe bitter blue breaths
Craving cardinal’s Christmas carols
Ditching deliberate dungarees during
Elusive extraterrestrial escapades.
Forsaking fitful Floridian flamingos,
Getting gaudy, gratuitous gnarly gifts,
Herewith having hilarious hefty hallucinations,
Imagining India’s illustrious indigo ideologies.
Jackals jerry-rigging jealous junking jackalopes
Kangaroos kissing kindly,
Lamenting lovebirds likely leering
Meandering muddobbers making merry,
Nevertheless necessary negotiations
Ostentatiously overhauling orange ostriches
Private parties practically prancing,
Quiet questions quickly questioning
Ripe red russets revolving rapidly
Sensing secretive shadows shyly
Traveling through trickier times,
Underlings ultimately understanding
Variegated virgins vitality
Waxing willfulness whilst
‘xacting ‘xtra ‘xciting
Yarned yellow youthfulness yipping young
Zesty zipper zings zealously, zapping zebras.
Seriously serious she sternly spoke.
Tyrannical truth that tells terrible tales.
United underdogs urging unity.
Vicious violators vetoing votes.
Warning willing workers who wanted warships.
‘xtra ‘xecutions ‘xacted ‘xactly.
Yet youthful yellow yips yelling yahoos
Zealously zapping zesty zealots
Avid anteaters ate artichokes
Blossoming beyond barley’s beauty,
Classic chews can clearly
Deny delivering dangerous dangling dates
Evening eggplants enormous evolved ecstatic
Ferocious fig fritters furthering Frito’s finesse.
Galloping gingerbread giants gobbling goats gelatin,
Hurrying heavily handsome hindquarters
Imagining illustriously ignorant
Jealous juried jams
Killing king’s kiwi kingdoms.
Lazy llamas laughed lightly
Making monster muffins melt
Near Neville Nettle’s nearest nutty nerves.
Opulent Ostrich ostracizes olive oils,
Putting putrid previewing pastries past
Quality quizzing quails'
Ridiculously rancid roasts
Seriously swimming sideways since strawberries
Traveled toward tender turkey talk,
Undermining understudy’s uninteresting
Very vivacious vixen’s vigorously vain vixens
Who will work wonders when
‘xtra ‘xtravagant ‘xtrapolations
Yell, yowl, yippee yelping
Zeroing zealous zealots’ zesty zeal.
An awful aardvark ate anchovies against all advice.
Besides belching beyond belief, he bit bitter banana boats.
Charlie Chimp cackled curiously, convinced
Delicious delectable desserts did damage.
Enormous energy engaged enthusiastic excitement
Frenzied friendly felines, forever forgiving
Greasy giraffes giving grievous gripes
Horsey happiness hiding hurt amongst hilarity.
Ignoring idiocy involved ignorantly,
Jumping jack-a-lopes jiggled
Kangaroo kindness keeping
Leisurely lions laughing
Merriment mesmerized monkey marines
Never notorious, nevertheless, nefarious
Octopus ostracized owls, ostentatiously,
Preventing Porcupines putting prickles precariously in patrons.
Quietly and quickly
Resuscitating rescued rabbits
Savagely sustaining simple seriousness
Totally terrorized
Underneath unique
Verbose velocity
Which worried
‘xtra ‘xtraneous
Zipping, zaggy, zebras.
