How many?

How many books have you read this month?  This year?

Do you?

Ever read poetry. If so, why so? If not, why not?

Candy and stuff

A Modest Sweet Tooth

By GC

Milk chocolate is good,

It’s even better with almonds

but, it’ll never compare

to pit roasted pulled pig

Strawberry twizzlers are nice

I like them fresh and chewy

but, those sugar confections

can’t compete with spiced up fried fish

I’ve had painted candies

but marzipan won’t do it

when instead I can get

roast chicken with herbs

Take spices and green leaves

mix them in soups and sauces

lard them with meats and veggies

and keep your candies and cakes.
