You’ve been stood by the cafe counter
for over ten minutes
the teapot you ordered will have to be rewarmed
as you ponder over your latest quandry
Lemon, Raspberry, Blueberry or Vanilla ?
don’t hang about – have all four!!!

Murdered at the wedding feast
Note to the reader – No one was harmed in the creation of this poem 🙂
It seemed that all was looking well
as the bride made her way down the aisle
and the vows were said with grace
the decorations made the hall look swell
As her bridesmaids escorted her in style to a hall,
where food of Heston Blumenthal ,
was served up in a most grand place
on silver platters Wall to Wall.
All seemed well, till after the dance
and the cooks brought in the wedding cake
the hotel located by a railway line
All would be well, you would thought the chance
as an express went past the floor began to shake
and tiers of the cake, began to fall
they saved three tiers – but what of the rest? was it fine?
ask the page boys under the table where it sat by the wall
#SocS #Bythehundreds #Sweet
Held in a container and kept
Up on the same shelf as the glace cherries
Numerous sweet strands wait for the
Day they decend on the fairy cakes
Rainbow Rebellion? no…more like decoration
Each one looking forward to the
Decadent day they add a spot of colour to the
Sweet icing they land on

Chocolate munching reptile
having a field day in the house he is!
arriving on a mission – to empty larder cupboards –
munching on oranges, strawberries and lemons
even limes take his sweet tooth to 7th Heaven
Lemon sorbet’s and Chocolate cake can’t
escape his grasp
of course – it would be easier if you can see him – it’s
not that easy when he’s disappeared into the woodwork

I remember this place
a little place in the hustle and bustle
of Manchester’s metropolis
dropping in, and picking up lunch
a pastie or a turnover
that i saved for after morning seminars
in a quiet place of greenery
they survived the goings on,
the marches, the protests, the vandalism
even the bomb couldn’t keep them away
but then the banks made a plea of poverty
and the store had to close for the day.
Wrapped up in Marzipan
this ever special bake
isn’t a mince-pie
that’s something that isn’t a flan
but definitely what you would call a cake
filled with fruit that’s full of flavour
and perfect for all the family to try
a pudding that everyone will savour

Another foodie poem from inky in response to fandango’s latest one word prompt
Lovingly created by the bakery
A coming together of three flavours
Years of expertise – combining pistachio, lemon, and strawberry
Enveloping them in a creamy butter icing
Rich ? depends what your palette says

a response to iscriblrs wonderful mystery challenge…enjoy.
A strange thing happened the other night
Under the cover of dark
Something with a sweet tooth paid us a call
He snook into the kitchen, without giving us a fright
And sitting down at my birthday cake, he did park
Having eaten his slice, he went out the door
Lighting up the kitchen , as he passed by the walls
And leaving a trail of cake crumbs on the floor

Filled to the brim
with wonderful fruit
your average kid ponders
how they can squeeze so much
into something smaller than a scone
Wall to wall raisins
sit side by side
in their sleeping bag
of flaky pastry

Challenge 30 – No10
Food…..or should I say Foooood!
I could be some time with this particular part of the challenge !(sic)
I mean where to begin – I’m a bit of a foodie. I enjoy my food – not just the meats but the pasta and vegetables as well. Christmas time sees a smorgasbord of delights, from Spiced Ham to cheesy pasta bakes – not forgetting of course Christmas pudding and Battenburg Cake
My Nephews are partial to a bit of Jelly and custard at Christmas, and for the adults aside from the Christmas pud, there’s usually the Content for a trifle on the go. But this year they helped make something really special – a tray of gingerbread men…now I don’t know if any of them escaped the Christmas table but one or two of them definitely did a disappearing act…
