A New York State Trappist monastery,
Supports itself by varied…
Breads and preserves
The proceeds go towards,
Keeping up this sanctuary!
–
Been thinking, since I have a friend
Who once thought he’d be Trappist at the end…
Married Chinese
The Lord they please,
The Lord to China them sent!
–
Christian industry
My layout could use, naturally…
Flour and sweet
Railcars meet,
Blessing a miniature economy!

The nature of who I am,
So sorry to post and scram…
Wife want eating
Three meals completing,
I’l come back here if I can!
–
This blogs my poetry,
Finding mine is the key…
SEARCH: “Caswell”–
Most are revealed,
Written heroically!
–
As to the prompt–almost any–
Subject inspiring–many…
Three or four styles
Bring you smiles,
A Christian blog not like any?

THE COFFEE MACHINE..is working,
An engineer left, smirking…
I used to drink
Two potfuls I think,
An empty machine is irking!

Last night’s pepperoni pizza pie,
Folks didn’t eat much of (but why?)…
Offered to me
I accepted gladly,
With a handful of breadsticks beside!
–
Papa Gino’s provided the pie,
The heat index seemed high…
Good going down
With water around,
Almost brought tears to the eye!
–
Almost an entire large,
Took more than one meal discharged…
Lovely to eat
Because of the heat,
So glad they let me take charge.

Advantages of frigid weather,
Doing food shopping all together…
Cold things won’t thaw–
It’s below zero after all—
So simple it’s not even clever!

Came home from work and shopping,
Other than that–no reason for stopping…
some “Brown ans Serve”
He’s nibbling (the nerve!),
and gobbled all up in the offing!

We took what I thought worth taking,
A soup of my own making…
Boiled cabbage and ham
But no thank you Ma’am,
Just me and the wife were taking.
–
Competition was rather strong,
Lasagna and casserole gone…
What little we ate
I’d consolidate
And use for suppers till gone!
–
I had someone’s lemon meringue,
Almost too sweet–no tang–
Along with ice cream
(And lasagna again!),
Enough food for the whole gang!
–
My wife left her pink NORTH CREEK hat,
I’m rescuing stuff like that…
Everyone knows
Keeping track of clothes
Is anything but old hat!

The days after Halloween,
Sales candy lovers’ dream…
Half-off and more
In any store,
Diabetics don’;t need these dreams!

Apparently not all the same,
Galumpkis worthy of the name…
May be layered
with exquisite care,
Let’s trust it tastes “the same”!
–
Parboiled cabbage leaves
Surround meat and rice dutifully…
Ground meat
With rice complete
Adding spices beautifully!
–
some add tomato sauce,
Not as thick as spaghetti, of course…
Succulent juices
are never useless
Over mashed potato–starch source!
–
Reminds me of a youthful story,
cousin Suzie and I in our glory..
finished off a whole bowl
Of galumpki and potato,
Hungry teens–that’s my story!

The British have fish and chips,
Newspaper-wrapped for drips…
Their specialties
Include mashed (or mushed) peas,
Instead of potato as chips?
