Time for food haikus, inspired by a recent carrot cake.
Dave Marty Shelly
Diabetes draws
Me to Thick Cream Cheese Frosting
Like a moth to flame

Carrot cake it’s not
The Carrots and the cake suck
The frosting I love

Love the carrot Cake
I do, I said. Why am I
Talking like Yoda?

Lasagna like sex
I don’t know exactly how
But both are real good

Carbo counting crows
How do diligent ones bake
Four and twenty pi?

Eating class again
Now we shape wide pyramids
Exchange this diet

Fluted edge quivers
Don't cut with knife, Grasshopper!
Pasta wastes on young

A chicken-fried steak
with gravy – mouth watering…
….arteries…clogging….

Watermelon rind –
too bitter to eat, but it
holds in the vodka


by Foley (translated by Shelly)

I like the pizza.
Golden cheese, pepperoni,
All I get is crust.

Carrot cake you say? Remember the dirt dessert! Stick to dirty rice.
