Counting the rings in the tree
Roots deep in the earth

Branches high up to Heaven -

my palate gives thanks.

Courses the bloodfire of lust
Tempered by good sense.

Stop and stare at this great world
With all its richness?
With all its richness
and silky smoothness, custard
makes me ravenous.

All this talk of food today -
I could eat a horse.
I could eat a horse
out of stable and ring, if
oatmeal had been served.

hot coffee with it is great
now let's watch the snow
now let's watch the snow,
sit by the window and watch
the dancing white flakes

falling big and small crystals

Honest proposals.
