Best Foods

The life of men would not do well

If it were not for sweet potatoes.

This awesome food tastes really swell,

I owe a debt to sweet potatoes.

 

The same for buds high on a tree,

They grow and turn to tasty pears.

I had the flu and they cured me,

I love the juice of tasty pears.

 

Pondering my prized propitious pear,

Bobbing for potatoes, pomme de terre.

Thief

One day in class, I lost my chair;

Some blonde with curls was sitting there.

I stopped and stared in disbelief,

What could I say to such a thief?

 

She looked at me, a smile flashed,

So I forgave her with a laugh.

But as I went to find a seat,

Her shining eyes kept watching me.

 

I froze. I blanked. I smiled back.

I nearly had a heart attack.

She laughed. She glowed. She looked away.

I’m still in shock unto this day.
