My Inner Child Is Sitting Down, But All The Other Inner Children Are Standing Up And Moving

Sammeeches are yummiyums

And cheekens good in bellies

And I like grapes and appleswoss

And chocolate-caramellies.

I can eat twenty tootsie rollups

And an asparagoos stawck as well.

I’m a master of munching and yummiyums

But not twalking or nowing how to spell.

This Poem Was Written In Real Time…

The waitress took our order

With a smile on her face

And then apparently decided

To desert the human race.

More than half an hour later

We’ve killed a pitcher of beer.

Our senses are still present

Though the help has disappeared.

It’s midnight at the bar,

Then it’s one here at the grill.

Our belly’s good and empty

But our hope is holding still.

We’re waiting on our sandwich

And it’s 2025,

And the chef has just confirmed

That the waitress is alive.

My beard is grey, my hair is gone,

I drool and shift and snore…

Then the waitress comes out smiling

And she says “Five minutes more.”

It’s All The Rage In The Middle East These Days!

I saw a survey at a shop

That made me pause, then fully stop.

It asked “What flavor would you want

“To drink here in our restaurant?”

I think they wanted “Pumpkin spice”,

“Caramel pecan”, or something nice.

I wrote “The blood of politicians

“Collected via millions of small incisions.”

Why I Love Asian Food

I was warming a bowl of alphabet soup

‘Cause I’m a grown up, and I can

When I looked down and wondered aloud

“Why’s there so much broth in my pan?”

Now I could add noodles and call it a day

But I felt, toward that fix, an aversion,

So instead I went shopping for a new can

And this time got the Japanese version.

Why Brand Name Matters

You’ve heard of fasting,

Juice cleanses, and diets.

I decided I’m growing

And thus I should try it…

But which one to pick?

Well, I like foreign dining

So I’ll eat naan and tacos

And avoid pain and whining.

We’ll have Greek food for lunch

And, for dinner, Korean.

Isn’t my ethnic cleanse plan

So delightfully freeing?

How My Diet Is Going

There are more cookies in my belly

Than on the cooling rack.

That’s my reward for exercise

So I think I’m on the right track.

Patty > Bun, etc.

Pizza’s pretty yummy

And hot dogs taste real nice

But I can do without the carbs

And even sans the spice.

Instead of all that bready stuff

What I really want to eat

Is meat covered in melted cheese

Then covered in even more meat!

Milk Was Just The Beginning (The Grilled Cheese Sandwich Saga)

People are always joking

About how it weirds them out

That someone grabbed a cow’s udder

And drank what came out.

But I’m wondering who

Ground some wheat with a stone

Mixed it with milk and bacteria

Then left it alone

Before heating it up

To 300 degrees

And then frying it up

With some butter and cheese…

Bachelorette Parties Just Keep Getting Weirder…

They make elbow pasta,

Bow ties and angel hair,

But I think they should make a noodle

For guys who have a pair:

A noodle like the balls that hang

Behind your pickup truck…

(It was at this point my girlfriend said

I’m already in luck).

Really Strained For That Rhyme… But Seriously! I Want Meat With Little Pits For The Syrup!

They have hot dogs; they have buns.

They have lunch meat; they have pancakes.

The equivalence I want to know:

What sort of meat a pair with waffles makes.
