I Don’t Eat Meat



Listen up okay, because I’m only going to say this once--I’m a vegetarian.
I don’t eat meat. 
I’m not a NUT.
I do eat  nuts, vegetables, fruit, noodles, soy, mushrooms, and beans.

Are you aware that they inject all kinds of antibiotics into that meat you eat?

Yes, that same food supply and those same corporations that are actually causing and perpetuating WORLD HUNGER, because we humans could be eating the grain that they are feeding to the cows, that could live quite well on GRASS, if we didn’t destroy the topsoil in this country’s heartland; livestock and chickens that are being injected with hormones to make them grow bigger and faster and forced to live in filthy cramped conditions, just so they can be slaughtered sooner to end up on your high priced plate next to that tiny gray vegetable that you cooked to death instead of steaming.

So I’m not saying that you shouldn’t eat meat, I’m saying that I don’t

and I would appreciate it if you stopped pushing your opinion down my throat
because opinions are like assholes,
everyone has one and they all stink.
And if you think that your shit is ICE-CREAM,
I got some swamp land in the desert for you.

Here, let me spell it out for you,

V- is for vegetables-fruits and grains, heart healthy nutrients feeding the world.
E- is for educated in diet and nutrition.
G- is for I’m game to kick your gamey ass—so don’t try to mix in any meat with that rice.
E- is for educated—is there an echo in here?
T- is for taught new and interesting recipes.
A- is for able to find plenty of viable alternatives to the protein equation.
R-is for ready to retrain my brain.
I-is for independent, so don’t get any smart ideas.
A-is for action and yes, I still have ALL my marbles.
N- is for NO, I don’t eat meat that means no red meat, no fowl, no pork, no lamb, no deer, alligator, rabbit,
 road kill, worms or insects even if they are dipped in CHOCOLATE.

Do you have it yet?

Remembering 9-11-01



Imploding towers
piled tons of ash and debris
atop shattered lives.

Terror brought home, 
snuffed out by solid leadership
remembered by those left behind.

Loved ones remembered
our country united
faithful and steadfast.

Cautionary note
to those of that ilk
we will hunt you down.

There will be a reckoning
We will not forget the day 
that changed our world.

Rapunzel



Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair!

Come on dearie
don't be so Grimm
there’s nothing left to fear.
The big bad wolf
evil prick that he is
is fooling with some
naive Red Riding Hood
on Facebook
and the wicked enchantress
has roared off
on her broom
to see the fall colors
on the southern rim
of the Grand Canyon.

It’s okay to come out.

Olly Olly Oxen Free!

The bogey woman has left the building
went out for a mocha frappuccino.
She got bored
this story is too predictable
so she went off
to scare up a new Prince.
All the evil turds are gone
Rapunzel
and you’ve gotten the pink slip.

Wake-up sweetie
It’s going to be okay
it was just a nightmare
Yeah- you got banged up a bit
but you made it.

Rapunzel –it’s time to escape
from your ivory tower
maybe go for a makeover.
Color those roots
get out of that frumpy dress
invest in a manicure.

Seriously
you are among friends.
You are a survivor.
It’s over!
And like they say
at the end of the story
And she lived

Happily Ever After!

Make Me Hot


Make me hot
I want to sizzle
like an egg sunny side up
with my edges lightly browned
crisp
no humdrum lines
or snot
diminishing a
first impression.
I want them
to inhale
my scent
like hungry dogs
hot on the trail
of a
meaty
thigh
bone
dripping
with
drop dead sinew
and pearly white
panache.
