A potato chip is something
Never ceasing to amuse.
I love it's funny wrinkles
And the crunchy way it chews.
(Anthony Gallagher)
Do you carrot all for me?
My heart beets for you,
With your turnip nose
And your radish face,
You are a peach.
If we cantaloupe,
Lettuce marry:
Weed make a swell pear.
oses are red, violets are blue,
Coffee is bitter, and so are you.
Roses are red, and violets are blue,
Your spaghetti is overcooked, it sticks like glue.
For breakfast I had ice cream
With pickles sliced up in it;
For lunch, some greasy pork chops
Gobbled in a minute;
Dinner? Clams and orange pop,
And liverwurst, slicked thick---
And now, oops! Oh pardon me!
I'm going to be sick!
(William Cole)
A wise man will know
finding a worm in a pear…
better than half worm
(Jan Allison)
Bananas
an underappreciated fruit
sentenced to banananality
because yellow
is their long suit.
(Mary Oliver Rotman)
Roses are red, pizza sauce is too,
I ordered a large one, I’m not sharing with you.
