Tom Yum
Come to my lips, elixir!
Your divine broth,
clear and pure,
humble and exotic,
simple yet complex.
Your hint of lemongrass,
a sprig of cilantro,
a handful of shrimp.
"Mild?" "Yes, rather mild,
I'm just not that brave."

cherry pie yum yum
Some bites are sour
Most have a bit of sweet
The crust can be flaky and flavorful
Or it can be a part of the sugar taste
Each bite is a bit of a surprise
Warmed up cherry pie, what could be better?
Add an ice-cold dollop of vanilla iced cream to mine.
My daddy eats his with a sliver of cheddar

yum yum honey
Sweetie the bear followed the honey smells for a mile.
When he reached it, he gave everyone a growl and a smile.
When they saw his large teeth they backed away from the barrel.
He headed toward the honeycomb, straight as an arrow.
The bees were not happy, so they tried to sting.
But his fur and skin are so

Flower - Manure Dung One Is More Yum-
the butterfly said
to the fly why you fly smell
eat dung/manure
the fly told him this
butterfly because the foods
aroma essence
yum-same as nectar
provides me like your flower
pleasures substance sweet
sweet nectar from the
flower butterfly sucks up
transplants spits transfers
cleansing fly lands on
the fly lite on manure
stinky dung yum-yum

Laboratory Meat Yum Yum
Laboratory meat; it is tasty and clean!
No thank you, I say, but not to sound mean.
It tastes like beef.
I think good grief!
Take a bite…..I admit, I am not keen.

Yum
In truth, my heart does lie
Are you my girl or an angel in disguise?
You once were both
But now you’re just a friend with a pretty smile
Crushing me at the speed of light
Begging, the meaning of suffering
Excuses fighting for the suffering truth
I felt the laughter in your heart
The warmth of your smile
The future in your eyes

Chocolate Covered Roaches Yum Yum
I ate roaches for breakfast. Chocolate covered.
He studies my eyes, hoping for a reaction, or a bit of squeamishness.
I say yum yum and lick my lips.
They were not quite cooked, he informs me.
They kept running away from the plate.
The two with their legs out.
I smile and nod encouragingly.
Sounds great! I say.
I washed them down with

Oranges Yum Yum
During the depression if you got an orange in your sock
You could feel blessed and lucky, and it felt like Christmas.
Orange tea and orange cake delight me in all kind of ways but
Marmalade I eat every morning on toast is the sweetest orange of all.
Smeared on my toast, I smile at the bits

You get knowledge from mean cousin Bill.
But before I found out
Gave them enormous shout
I hate to admit I ate my fill!
