Ox Tail Broth With Veggies T’was a night before a wintry storm The weatherman’s frightful forecasts Were gloomy and not the norm… To the kitchen I did fly To make a delight Chopped up veggies with Ox Tail I would try With the broth simmering And the veggies shimmering I couldn’t think of where I might have left the Ox… I checked the cupboard The freezer too Then I remembered, so, to the backyard I flew… .

Storm was a cumin…sky, all dark and ready to spill While ol’ ox was a hidin, from the great white hunter JL Thinking nervously, “Tails teach as well as feed” Doesn’t mean you’ve got to eat red meat.... Taking this ox’s tail will be your defeat! Profusely illustrated by a bison molting Or trying...to say the least He’s A land shark with a German cuisine “Go find some curried goat or chicken jerky” He screams… “You don’t need ox tail broth with veggies” “Besides I’m out of season…you’d be poaching” JL yells, “Come out, come out…I’m a non believer” And it’s ox tail soup I’m aimin to savor Come hoof or crook Within my soup...no more Thyme to stand here arguing with you… Now the ox knew JL was a Texas boy A nearsighted roaming ol cowboy So that ox delighted in some new idea Kickin up dust filled with mosquitos Blood thirsty for some scratches and blisters A million Infantry flying insects Lurched toward JL’s human flesh Curving down the rail Like a saber tooth tiger ready for the kill Tenseness filled the air, with JL’s fright He turned and ran for his ever lovin’ life Them mean ol skeeters a buzzin in his ear Snappin and flashin their teeth at his rear Now you may wonder what became of ox tail soup... I guess its safe to say, he chose the bad against good Folks from miles around come to Texas climate But the main attraction in these parts are JL’s home cooked carrots without meat flavorin yeeee haaawwwwwww!!!!! |
