"Nannah!" all the kiddies cried "We have no food! we ache inside" "Please cook us something, make it quick!" "We're all so hungry, weak and sick!" But Nannah knew there was no food to quell her now unruly brood and so she took her butchers knife she found a dog, she took its life The mongrel stew was tart and bitter and left them straining on the $hitter t'was but a day then it vanished the kiddies cries appeared unbanished "Nannah end our hunger pangs" "gives us meat between our fangs" "Soup or broth or steamy stew" "Some chicken bones or cordon bleu?" So Nannah, with her spade in hand stalked across the barren land she slew two rats, a snake, a mole two seagulls and a brown-haired vole At home she skinned her prey with ease wasting not a single piece all teeth and hair, each bone and eye was baked into a pizza pie The children sat; anticipation their stomachs dreamt; emancipation Nannah brough the giant pie a tear of pride welled in her eye Ravaged by the children ten they ate their fill then ate again when the meal was done they belched aloud o what a filthy, belt-popp'd crowd! Then one by one as if in order a maladie or gut disorder fell across them in a wave rufus first, then sam and dave Great sprays of puke from the scallywags splashes, chunks cast out in gags Out it came and where it fell? ...back into the pizza shell And how did Nannah ease this fault? she added pepper, (and some salt) threw it in the oven when the kiddies ate it once again! The moral of this sickly tale if kiddies cry and stomachs wail serve them what nature provided regardless where it once resided ------------------ Poetic Wheelbarrow http://www.stormloader.com/poetwheel/den.html ICQ: 44370408 |

Poetwheel...next time please ask them to leave the anchovies off your pizza!  (that must be some case of heartburn you had!) ------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |

Dare I ask how you came up with the idea for this one? ------------------ *Elizabeth* "Dwelt a maid belov'd and cherish'd by high and low, But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..." [This message has been edited by Elizabeth (edited 08-23-99).] |

I loved it.. kinda reminded me of my favorite childhood song.. "Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts, mutilated monkey meat, dirty little birdy feet, french fried eyeballs swimming in a pool of blood.. and I forgot my spoon!!!" Ok... I was a tomboy.. I admit it.. hehe.. still am at heart. Bravo Poetwheel! |

Here I was, ready to write about great food and tasty bites when of a sudden arose a clatter, why, it’s Poetwheel’s kitchen platter. I think I’ll now wait awhile before I share with all my smiles of some simply excellent food while Poetwheel feeds her brood. ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

I hope you're not offended by the "curt rebukes", but I did find this poem gross. The rhyme, however, was excellent. And how DID you come up with it? ------------------ *Elizabeth* "Dwelt a maid belov'd and cherish'd by high and low, But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..." |

I think the answer would be, "there was an old lady who lived in a shoe, had so many children, she didn't know what to do!" Thanks for the laugh PW!  |
