Covered Dish Sunday Afternoon Picnic

From growl and gut

Of animal rut

Comes old milk

This cheese

From cluck and clatter

Of chicken’s patter

These eggs ‘n batters

In threes

Fried and boiled

In olive oil

From germ of wheat

On table neat

Pureed in wind-chaffed

Prairies take

Sandwich baked

So jump thee

Jump children

To table spread

Make haste

Away from puppy’s

Outstretched paws

Who’ll steal away fast

"...In the kitchen sink, looking like two freshly scrubbed cherubs, Sunday roasting [and] frying chickens..." dpd

Put patters of butter paste

On angel’s wings

And sing, sing, sing

Reminds me of stopping in Industry to pick-up a sack of onions and see what calves were for sale.

In the kitchen sink, looking like two freshly scrubbed cherubs, Sunday roasting or frying chickens.

Whatever the farmers wife decided, always wish we were one hour later on our foray. MMMMmmmmmmm!

I remember that swing by Industry for the best onions east of China. You're so funny... and ceuwte. How do ya' doit, ya rapscallion?

Country forays: It really is like that verse from Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, "Take off your coat, throw it in the corner... Don't see why you don't stay a little longer!!"
