Spicy

This week's Sunday Scribblings prompt is 'Spicy' - I should probably  forewarn you, today's post is BYOB - bottle of milk, Maalox, Tums, your antacid of choice - whatever helps this go down without too much heartburn (just kidding about the bottle, though you might want to consult your doctor before reading this :). Oh and you might need a napkin or two, here - sorry, it's kind of sloppy, but here's what's steamin' in the stream of consciousness when 'spicy' comes to my mind (and though I probably don't need to say this, I will anyway - don't try this 'recipe' at home!)

Sing a song

of seasonings,

Hot Pocket

ham on rye -

forget the custard -

bring on the mustard!

green guacamole'

all that's holy -

my mouth's on fi-i-i-re...

now bring on the

juicy red salsa

for the tamale pie -

chile verde, chicken curry

tear in your eye...

where you goin' -

what's your hurry...

onions make you cry?

Pinch of this,

sprinkle of that...

grind the peppers -

red, white and black,

measure out

tarragon, marjoram

cinnamon, cardamom -

chiles -green or red & hot

chop 'em up

put 'em in the pot!

allspice, nutmeg, clove -

simmer on the stove...

add sage and caraway

seeds of celery

leaves of bay,

don't forget

the rosemary

just a hint

of savory

last in the brew,

onion, garlic

take your pick -

no thyme to rue

the spice

of life,

sure is nice -

so let's relax

just kick back

sip and

savor

the stew!

Ewww-eee! That sorta smells, doesn't it... Yikes, I forgot the fennel! Oh well, probably didn't need it, after all that. To see what 'Spicy' stuff everyone else has cooked up, check out the menu of other blogs on Sunday Scribblings.

I love the rhythm and the rhyme of the words in the poem. Very spicy indeed! I couldn't even think about eating some of that stuff or I would have to call 911!

Hi, I moved my blog to wordpress. Twoblueday.wordpress.com

What a spicy little poem, it lacked only a reference to scotch bonnet peppers to fry my mucuous membranes.

That was great. I love spicy. Love Hugs and Blessings
