all of us are young at heart
and some of us are lean,
but scary are those "Choc-ulas"
that make our fat cells scream

so think of the alternatives
to things that make us fatter,
instead of sugar laden treats
fry veggies soak'd in batter.

"Grun-cynth'ya's Fried Green tomatoes"
Simple "spell" of a recipe.

Take what's left from your dead garden;

Snap off the limbs from rotting tomato plants;

Capture the unsuspecting green orbs before they turn blood-red,
ignoring the ones that squish goo from their ghastly gashes and
nibbles from worms that scurrying under light of
full moon;

Scald the baby emerald fruits skin until it glistens eerie clean;

Them rip off the cradle tops removing all remembrance of
"the mother vine."

Heat up the cast iron cauldron filled deep with oil of soybean;
(i.e. the deep fryer you got on sale at the Good Will Store)

Drop the little greenies mercilessly, watching and listen to
them pop and bounce around without hope.  .

Watch them transform with a sprinkling of salt into
crispy toasty brown morsels of monstrous delight!

Scoop them out after they bear no resemblance to their
original form, lay on a sheet paper pounded flat from
recycled twice dead trees....

Get out the bottle of hot sauce...repent for high calorie sins, then pray and eat like an ogre! LOL
