There once was a girl of greenish eye
so tall and elegant, graceful and neat.
Makes sticky buns and hot curly fries.
Makes cookies that are such a treat.

I asked her once if she really knew
what a sticky bun was by chance.
The frying pan she grabbed and threw,
hitting my noggin with such a glance.

Now why would a woman get so upset
by such an innocent comment or two?
I guess she was mad, startin’ to fret
before that skillet she wound and threw.

Oh my, oh my, that steel pan did fly
across the room and around the door.
The bump I have, caused tears in my eyes
and in spite of that, please give me more.

She said to me that she knew how to make
those buns so sweet and tasty to munch.
So away to the kitchen she went to bake
as I staggered away, one bump tender to touch.

The flour hung in the air like a dense fog
of white as I heard the mixer whirring away.
I sat there and burped like a big fat hog
hopin’ I would get to sit there, eat and stay.

But no sooner than the alarm on the stove rang
a knock came pounding on the kitchen screen.
There came the police ready to whisk me away
cause I had made mad, this lady, eyes green.

They hauled me out the door in a flash
without a chance to grab just one treat.
But before we left,  back in with a dash
went the back up boys parked across the street.

I kicked and screamed all the way to jail
cause I missed that treat I never did get.
A sticky bun so sweet,  not a girls tail
and hungry now I sit,  still waiting yet.

Well now...

are you sure it was a little gal
with eyes of green so true
that threw that mighty frying pan
straight at the head of you?

Seems to me you write too sweet
those lovely poems and such
are you SURE her sticky buns
were all you wanted to touch?

(giggles in delight) Oh Barry, I couldn't help but laugh reading this while I too feel so sorry for that poor guy as such things we say may not always sound like how we really mean it and van get us in so much trouble! (giggles) This is delightful, sweet friend, maybe next time you just want to be specific and call them sugary bread pillows with that glaze-coating on top, hehehe, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sahring!



May love and light always shine upon you!

I cannot lie and I must confess
that my words sweet did not covey
twas what resides beneath the dress
and on walks would so softly sway.

Yet even though my eyes did fall
upon the floor before the pan hit
I tell the truth,  I tell it all
and now my dear,  I do admit.

Those buns of yours that you're bakin'
are makin' my eyes water in tears.
It must be the flour and the shakin'
too many buns, and derrieres.

Gee, I thought this was going to be about me, then I read that the girl had green eyes--and mine are blue!

Fun read, from a fun guy!

See...now you have them all growlin
and wanting some of those sweet buns.
While I'm in the hoosegow a howlin',
staring at all these badges and guns.

I called my legal beagle and said
to hurry and get me right outta here.
I would rather starve and be dead.
Can't you smell those buns from there?

He came right on down in a jiffy
with a great big smile on his face.
I knew that his manners weren't spiffy
as I spied the flour on his lips a trace.

I told him that I would not retain
a man who jumped the gun and ran
straight to the source to detain
a second bun for him hot off the pan...

OHHHHH MANNNNNNN

I want more than one and this is just WRONG! Cause I can't have any. But it is a delight to see you having so much fun with this Barry.

Speak to me in whispers,
I'll listen with my heart.

You guys are way too funny!!!  The replies are as entertaining as the poem itself.  Perhaps, have become part of the poem itself.

pretty sticky situation
you got yourself well in
but I keep on a wonderin' if
the cops went back to have a spin.

I mean a spin in those sticky buns
the ones with sugar and spice
that are plump and lovely with frosting, too,
and all other things real nice

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Oh I am just not opening this folder anymore. If I get any hungrier I am driving across SC to where Barry is and I will take these sticky buns from him and off into the night I will go.

Barry,
GOT MILK?

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

The morn is new and scents now waft
over a poem that's now a bit off
for the sticky buns were raising, see?
The coffee is hot, but just for me.

Everyone who came to play
didn't stop to think the day
would bring the buns warm from their bake
and slept in late, for goodness' sake!
