Dashing

“Dashing by Maisie Aletha Smikle

On my farm
I keep a firearm
The deer I charm
And then disarm

To feed my family venison
And stay away from medicine
Sheep so sweet
We love to eat

Young lambs we chop
To get lamb chops
Pigs in wigs
Dished their wigs to do a jig

Pigs skinny dip
Floated and strip
So turkey chicken and rabbit
May be covered with bacon strips

Cows roaming in the valleys
Cats left in the Alleys
Bring the cows
It's time to chow

Beef for steak
Make no mistake
Mince it grind it chop it
We must have it

We plant dashene
To cook and steam
To feed the animals so they keep lean
Fit and ready to consume

Eat we must
Or we'd be dust
Knead the dough for the pie crust
Get the pan it will not rust

We will dine
Without wine
We will roast eat then toast
Thanking God that He is our Host”

Bucket o' Mangoes

 

“Bucket o' Mangoes by Maisie Aletha Smikle

A bucket full of mangoes to go
A bucket full of fries won't flow
Flood me with mangoes up to the rim
Fill the buckets to the brim

A bucket full of mangoes sliced thin
You may leave the seeds within
Forgo the topping and cream
Serve it plain add no cream

Mangoes left fries steaming
Hot fries were beaming
Steam running hot
Mangoes left fries in the pot

Fries got jealous of mangoes' spot
And vowed to reclaim its spot at the top
Fries chanted
Mangoes panted

Mangoes got cool and smooth
Fries got crispy hot
Mangoes tango in buckets
Fries paired with nuggets

Mangoes swam in smoothies
Dived in fruity punches
Careened into buckets
Fries seethed and smothered

Hot steam from its empty air pockets
In bags paired with nuggets
Fries bowed with nuggets
And hit the bucket”
