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!!!!!

Haahaa--hehehehehehe...
Oh I'm rolling on the floor!

You are too funny, and silly.

Enjoyed what you started, and finished.
