Be kind to your stomach
|
LULLABY
by
Lucille Bellucci
April's Fool of the tyrant stomach
which surcease will not grant
its bearer from relentless battle,
internal minings
Of viands gobbled with such delight in
midst of day and returned to attack, such vicious!! assaults
Upon encroaching sleep, which still eludes
at
This hour of the bells, hells? perhaps belles, but no
Glass slippers upon these feet, oh no, rather shards of glass of said slippers
exploring the concavities
Of that region below the breast that I would
cut away and
Throw to the dogs, or hogs, into the bogs.
Do I malign said viands? Such innocent juxtaposition
of lettuce and tomatoes,
eggplant and goat cheese
(and dollop of sour cream, a crescent of avocado,
and were there fried onions?)
encased in pita, innocent
flat unleavened bread of Egypt
The culprit then must be caffe latte, downed with bliss, only a glassful,
ordinary to most, but
nearly fatal to me.
The cock crows, I hope soon, but really half my life away from this hour of....can it be?? only 1:30 after midnight.

Good Day to you Lucille,
I have read "Lullaby". I found it entertaining and that its point is well taken, that we should treat important things in our lives with respect, we will sleep better at night. That's my take on it. Please
feel free to check out my site at www.freewebs.com/kendoo or here in the "Den" |

Loved it all including these lines ~ This hour of the bells, hells? perhaps belles, but no
Glass slippers upon these feet, oh no, rather shards of glass of said slippers
exploring the concavities
Of that region below the breast that I would
cut away and
Throw to the dogs, or hogs, into the bogs
Excellent work..

Wow. You have inspired me to eat less and take care of my tum. Your work is a treat - I must avoid meat.

PS VBest was a spelling mistake but I quite like it. Perhaps it was meant to be. |

Clover Farms Icey Tea does me in late at night! Very true and well done! Yes, we must watch what we eat and drink especially late at night!
