cambridge on a sunny morn
a professor deep in thought
a quasi quantum quandary
his mind now overwrought
now the kernel of dilemma
the cause of his unease?
with fish and chips for dinner..
should I go with mushy peas?
symbiotic clarity
coupled with his fate
yet the "mushyness" of peas
was abhorrent to his plate
order over chaos
his findings quite profound
yet a theorist
must work backwards
to a premis pure and sound
he expressed as a formula
elegant and wise
he wrote it on a post-it note
and sent it to the guys
twenty minutes later
his mobile broke the breeze
and a tired gruff glaswegian cried:
" I cannot read Chinese!"

That was not a pie you gave me yesterday.
Call it shepherd’s or even cottage if you must.
But it wasn’t a pie, no matter what you say,
when the damned thing didn’t even have a crust.
And though my judgement might sound somewhat hasty,
I do not think I'm asking for a lot,
when I insist the filling be encased in pastry,
and yesterday it certainly was not!
A pie without a crusty pastry case
reminds me of a tortoise without its shell.
Its omission is an absolute disgrace.
I’m sure the tortoise would agree, as well.
So next time please do not dissatisfy,
just put a bloody crust around my pie!

Creamy, sensuous, gently caress
Held to lips, true blessedness.
Only you possess key to this happy heart
Contained in passion’s hands, from very start.
Only your sweet kisses will forever do
Lover of mine, melting me into you.
Angels, surely, smiled down on me.
Tantalizing is the texture of thee.
Every fiber of my being desirous of you
Dripping juices delectably divine.
All olfactory senses you do stimulate
Rich and dark, satisfying taste sublime.
Know, thankful am I for this sweetest fate.

Fluffy round bread of versatility. A favorte in diet minded distruction. Add bacon,cheese or what ever you please just follow the instruction. Easy method: pancake mix, milk nothing more. Hard method: flower,milk,lard,salt...way to much of a chore...need I say more. Now that all is done let the baking begin. Eat one or two any more will be a gut bomb to you. Dont forget to bake extra too.Great wepons of obliteration : bake a few min. more,let cool then throw. Garenteed to cause pain or shatter your target.

Oh!
The seafood!
Of lit poles
to guide the way
a table of yummage
a gorgeous display
Sit around my friends
gorge to our hearts content
leave nothing
to ever relent
pour the Hawkes Bay
swill to all your hearts
content
Oh yes a story to be told
gather closer
come to the fold
let children run amok
sling me the pork
crackle waiting
a bridesmaid
oh!what luck
slop the raw fish
a symphony in a bowl
coated the mouth
a treasure to the soul
Suck that crayfish
smile as you do
wetting lips
a gorge of a fool
hands on kumara
cabbage wrapped within rice
come on people
A kiwi picnic
Is a beautiful slice

I knew only
what I was taught
Yet seeked a path
"All came from my thought"
So enriched
I delved
An idea back then
I strangly shelved
In years gone by
I was compelled to look upon that shelf
Would I eat myself
Open gently
with a mighty twist
Here I am
with an abundance of scent
such divine
Time is only lent
A relaxed fruit lay
all delicate preserves
against the jar
those delicious curves

About this poem:
My mother bottled so many different sorts of fruit, was beautiful....
I just wasn't in to it, when it came to, pickling onions.
But yes I did....
My love for my Mother...XXXXX

Sunny side up with bacon strips and baked beans,
Cereal and cornflakes,
And toasted bread!
A hot cup of brewed coffee,
or a glass of milk,
An American breakfast.
Chilly hot dogs,
Famous Amos Cookies,
A bucket of buttered popcorns,
A cold glass of
CokeCola,
Mouth watering snacks
Now Singapore version ...
A plate of Nasi Lemak,
One egg and two plain prata
(Roti chenai)
A bowl of wanton noodles,
And famous carrot cake
With a cup of Kopi/O or Teh Tarik/O.
(Coffee/black or Milk tea pull/black) ,
A diverse breakfast of shared love!
Vadai (indian donut) and peanut Japanese cake (pancake),
Popiah(spring roll) and curry puffs,
Goreng pisang(fried bananas),
And buttered pineapple tarts !!!!
Melts in your tongue!
These are glorious pleasures of tit bits !
And now that I got your senses tingling ...rush and get yours fast !
Before I devour everything up!

is it some sort of equilateral angle
with a sharp turn that gets us entangled
is it some multi-faceted polyhedron
i'm sure we could face it, and need one
is it an ancient mystical pyramid tall
with rhymes and runes in chiseled wall
is it a never ending Möbius strip
with endless edge, a continuous trip
is it a futuristic geodesic sphere
a better world in the future near
is it some mathematician's donut
that makes us plain laymen go nuts
is it a speck, some miniscule dot
to fill empty space, we'll need a lot
is it a long line from time before
that to future time, is never more
maybe around its smooth crystal globe
our thoughts reflective in temporal lobe
whatever its shape it now seems in tatters
as if everything else is all that matters
so whatever we find to be the shape of peace
let's work to make its size increase
it is not so much the shape, but its size
that makes our peace a thing to prize

I make my favorite snack
I butter two slices of white bread
Adding some cheese spread for more taste
I layer my bread with
My well planned layers of cheese and onion crisp
Crunchy they are mouth watering I can't wait for
My favorite crisp snack
Pepper to taste
I place my other bread gently on top
I slice my sarnie in two
Two delicious sarnies not to be share
All for me
I dip my sarni in the crumbs I make
Oh what jot my favorite treat is for me
