My Gruel I grind my gruel the grit of wit Mix it with some other chit Dice it with a sprig of truth And serve it as smooth vermouth Spill it on a hot saucepan Griddle it o’er laughing fan Let the odor set the mood And serve it as a wholesome food Like or dislike all depends On how the butterfly descends Weather the nectar is taken straight Or weather it is spit as bait It is an entertaining dwell With laughter as the ring of bell Guffaws and smiles and many roars Despite the tide of many floors It is the shrewd that fills my sail The novel food that keeps me hale |

I just came back to say... this will be the coolest verse I read today. Like or dislike all depends On how the butterfly descends Weather the nectar is taken straight Or weather it is spit as bait you rock and it rolls me. |

Enjoyed the poem, the wit, the grit, but since I'm havin' ham on rye, I think I'll pass the odor by. Some of the lines give a bit of hint that not every time is the aroma fine. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
