Thanks, Millennials

If you’d like a hamburger

It only costs a dollar.

If you want cheese on it

It’ll cost you dollars two.

Want to add some bacon?

That’s two dollars fifty.

Want some avacado?

Your firstborn kid will do.

Follow For More Post-Apocalyptic Recipes

The sky has fallen

The sea has boiled

The Earth has shaken

The contingency’s foiled

The zombies prowl

But I’m okay:

Whipped cream goes “psshhhh”

And they can’t take that away

But Jell-O, Pasta, Potatoes, Tacos… All Fair Game

I think when you turn 40

You get a superpower

To make any food into a salad.

But when you’re 45

The option to use vegetables

Besides celery suddenly becomes invalid.

Smoothies

Whenever I start hating humans

I remember that someone created

A cup that spins knives in the bottom

That cut food as its electrically gyrated

And it makes a smooth mixture of flavors

From fruits, sugar, protein, et cetera.

Sure, some people still put veggies in

But it still makes you feel better, huh?

Port-au-Prince Palace Anyone?

We’ve talked about Chinese food

Being cats for many a year

And I have to ask if Haitians

Are missing a franchise opportunity here…

Dirty Mind Test, V. 2024

They’re sweet and round and yummy

And better when filled with meat.

I’ll grab a pair with both my hands,

Spread some mayo, smile, and eat.

Mix it with a pickle

(A wiener would do as well)

And you’ve got yourself an evening…

Yeah, her buns are sweet as hell!

What Did You Have For Lunch?

Today I tried making sushi

And, in a way, it was a success…

I managed to put all the rice in a roll

And wrap it in bamboo and press.

The ingredients all fit together

And it tasted like sushi indeed.

The downside is it looked like Lizzo

Wrapped in very expensive seaweed.

Elite Athletes Need Specific Food? Nah… Be Vegan

There once were olympics in Paris

Whose food service tends to embarrass.

They said “Earth’s getting hot!

“Eat le meat you will not

“But you’ll have un grande vue from the terrace.”

Poems from My Vacation 1 – Breakfast

Be me on the ocean

On my early morning jaunt

And I’m greeted on the stairway

By a chocolate croissant.

It’s sitting on a marble step,

Uneaten, undisturbed,

And it greets me silently,

Melty and unperturbed.

Part of me is hungry

And would gladly pick it up

But my wife holds my left hand

And my right hand holds a cup.

Instead I bend my pelvis

And my knees caress the floor

And in one delicious moment

The croissant is no more.

The Power Of Comparison

If you ask guests at a restaurant

“Would you like to try the lamb?”

They might say “yes”, or maybe “no”,

Or “I don’t give a damn.”

But if you ask those same guests

If they prefer starfish tartar

You’ll find them much more likely

To prefer the lamb by far.
