How To Bake A Thanksgiving Turkey

Lurkey Gurkey

Lurkey Gurkey, Thanksgiving turkey,
oh how he’d gobble ‘bout
saying, “I’ll not let them butcher me,
I’ll think of a way out.”
He refused to eat his turkey feed
saying, “I’m gonna stay so slim
the farmer, he won’t look at me
for fear I’m just too thin.”

And so it was for weeks on end,
Lurkey Gurkey, he’d not eat.
No matter what was offered him,
he’d not taste a treat.
So then one day the farmer came,
said, “I’m turning this one loose.
I’ll fatten up a different bird
to be our Christmas Goose.”

Sincere letter
by Jade Zoë Elders

I´m the girl next door
but not her
from the first, or fourth floor
I´m right in between
and now-here
to be seen

I´m your dreaming nightly mare
gallopping along the golden glory
from ancient Egyptian times
glory long gone
wings white, horn bright
layed in mary´s womb
fe -and male uni-ted
Ankh recited
and fighted again-st
their self doom
relived, relifted n regifted
I give myself
Please continue reading...

Happy Holidaze!

Santa Grounded

Santa lost his license.
He cannot drive the sleigh.
Christmas shopping intoxicated
ruined his whole day.
There won't be any presents 'cause
he's not allowed to fly
so never bother looking out
to see him cross the skies.

And so it is, with this simple verse I kick off the BloggingPoet.com 2009 Holidaze Celebration. Enjoy.

Save Gas With EZ Motorbikes Of Greensboro

Residents of Greensboro, North Carolina now have an alternative to high gasoline prices with 50cc EZ Motorbikes from EZ Motorbikes of Greensboro.

Want to save gas and reduce the cost of your daily commute throughout the streets of Greensboro, North Carolina? Are you tired of the high cost of owning a car? Do you hate riding Greensboro's city buses? Would you like to reduce the amount of pollution your travels emit? If you answered yes then EZ Motorbikes are exactly what you need to make savings possible.

EZ Motorbikes are 50cc, 4 Cycle gasoline powered motorbikes and motorized bicycles equipped with EPA certified clean burning engines that get 150 to 200 miles per gallon of regular gasoline, require no mixing of gas and oil and are much cheaper than a car to drive and maintain. EZ Motorbikes are available as kits or complete ready to ride vehicles. They're quiet, fun to ride and best of all, EZ Motorbikes and motorbike kits are made right here in North Carolina.

You could soon be riding a bought and paid for, built to last, EZ Motorbike for less than the cost of a down payment on a used clunker car. To learn more about EZ Motorbikes and EZ Motorbikes of Greensboro, visit our website at EzGreensboro.com today.

Helms Jackson

This morning, as I end my participation in International Blog Nothing Week, (Another of my lame ideas) I'd like to present you with a poem from yet another North Carolina author and friend. Enjoy.

Wake of Our Remains
by Helms Jackson

Stained I ignore the feelings
Of malice since life demands, and
Liars may try concealing it but
The cracks pervade the plan.
Only wish for love to feel
So that my heart begins to heal.
Please continue reading...

I'd like to encourage everyone to read all of Mr Jackson's work and encourage him to continue penning his verse.

BloggingPoet.com Makes Top 100

I haven't been writing and posting much of late as I've spent most of my time managing my boss's business, building the Local Recycler's Search Engine that he and I own jointly and launching EzGreensboro.com. But I'm happy to have learned that according to Wikio.com, BloggingPoet.com is rated one of the top 100 literary blogs in the world.

And in case anyone is interested, I now donate 100% of my book royalties to green causes just because I can.

Finally, my children's poetry site, LaureatesKids is back online and promise I'll post some new poetry soon.

Have It Your Way, Joe

And so it is, the war drags on and the Fast Food Poetry never ends.

Burger City Brothel

BK Joe, he came to town,
said, "I'll keep 'em hoppin'."
Sonic Poppers hung from his side,
from death there was no stopping.
Tendercrisp was tied in there,
filet so soft and sweet.
Tomorrow, they would turn her out.
Next week she'd be spoilt meat.

Fast Food Delights, the story of the Fast Food Wars is on its way to becoming... Something?

I'm In, Are You?

Just letting you know this blog will be participating in International Blog Nothing Week.

My Children's Poetry Blog Is Live Again!

I thought it was gone forever when I fell on hard times and was unable to pay for hosting but the folks at Squarespace kept my data on file for well over a year even after the site went down... Anyway, thanks to the great folks at Squarespace, my children's poetry site is live again.

My thanks to Anthony and the gang at Squarespace. After a loved one was killed yesterday and my youngest brother in the hospital tonight, it's nice to get good news.
