Midnight Snack (Once more for Halloween!)

Midnight Snack

I like my wimmin
Like I like my chickin
Battered and fried
And finger likkin
Good

Seasoned up nice
And marinated
And hoping it
Ain’t someone I dated
Recently

A little red pepper
And a little salt
Served up golden
And freshly caught
Today

Lady fingers
Oh so tender
With secret spices
Ground in my blender
Savory

Call my friends
From out of their grave
It's finger likkin good
They all rave
More please

A ghoul’s life
Is oh so sweet
A plentiful supply
Of fresh meat
Yeah

The mis-spellings are intentional as is the weirdness.

Hi Rett,

this is a little different from what you usually write...but I like it. The mis-spellings contribute to the weird effect. As usual the rhythm and rhyme are brilliant. Sincerely~ Debbie

Thank you Debbie

As you can tell, yesterday was a really strange day. *LOL* This may just be the weirdest thing I have ever written. Not sure at all how it will go over. Thank you very much for the feedback. I truly appreciate it. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water."

snack poem

Rett, I read this a few times, plus reviewed lines. You are a good writer, so I wonder why it seems dijointed to me. Yes, snacks, yes, some living snacks, but what's with the friends from the grave, and the 'ghoul's life.."? I don't know, I'll read it again. wcw

17 years 5 months ago

WCW, well, you ain't crazy

It is disjointed on purpose. The premise is basically the Ghoul Chef cooking up dainty bits for his other dead buddies using his secret blend of spices and the never ending supply of "fresh meat" from victims. I know it is weird as heck, but yesterday was strange. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water."

You right

Snacks and friends from graves, it should had been all to do with snacks, well probably there is a point we can't just reveal openly but the writer knows what's it about. But otherwise i liked the flow in this one. Respectfully paparazii

Thanks Paparazii

Yep, it is a weird one, but if you really think about it, it is funny in a ghoulish sort of way. I appreciate you reading and taking the time to comment. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water."

ROFL taking out a piece

of my mind and checking.. Yep, you're right. Thanks Anna. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water."

Rett,

I would say that there is something wrong in that head of yours, but then I understand what you write. So maybe it's everybody else who's weird. Fine write! You can take out your mind out, but don't lick it, it's bad table manners while people are watching> LOL Thanks, Eddie

17 years 5 months ago

LMAO Eddie you're right, they're weird

But, I have to admit, this one may just be downright sick. *LOL* I don't usually get this kind of weird. *LOL* Then again, I don't usually have a day like yesterday. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water."

Thank you very much

I wanted to be weird and different to the point of outrageous craziness. Glad you got a smile out of it. I was laughing when I wrote it. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water."

17 years 4 months ago

Hi Rett

This might be ghoulish, but it's really funny. You read it and you wonder if you're supposed to laugh, but you can't help it(case in point: and hoping it ain't someone I dated recently) And it made me hungry for Colonel Sanders chicken. How weird is that? Deelilah

17 years 4 months ago

ROFLMAO Now that is what I was thinking of

When I wrote this. Ie: secret spices". We're sane as Eddie said. the rest of the world is weird. Glad you got a laugh out of it. Thanks so much deelilah. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water."

Now I don't care what you say, that there's funny. But Rett, you made me hungry~ So pass me a plate! _____________________________ To write a touching poem, you must gently stir the soul, if it brings forth tears or smiles, then the story was beautifully told. ________Janice Pearce_________

LOL the obvious question I would ask is

breast, thigh or wing, but I won't. *LOL* It is always strange what lurks in the mind of even the, ahem, normal person. I still can't believe this one came out. Would you care for some Lady Fingers? Dipping sauce? "Get er Done". Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water."

No fair using the new spice rack Jon got me for Christmas! Rett, this is a great poem. Sick, twisted, and I love it! Can't say I really support cannibalism, though. I'd give you loads of cooking tips, but then I'd sound really really strange....

I appreciate it. Also thanks to everyone else that had as weird a sense of humor as me. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water."

Hey Rett,

Congratulations on the spotlight! Total weirdness "seasoned" with humor and served up "hot and spicy!" Who woulda thunk it...the poet is also a chef? ;-) Sincerely~ Debbie

Barbequed ribs..... *LOL*............ Thanks Debbie. BTW, I am actually a pretty darn good cook, not chef, but I cook some mean country food. Who woulda thunk something this different would make spotlight. Amazing! Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water."

Rett,I can I expect less from you ?

Good,no doubt but it got me disjointed like itself,I still cant figure it out after three reads.Maybe I'll try later.

17 years 4 months ago

Easy, sometimes a culture difference raises it's head

Basically it is a ghoul ( a dead, yet not dead person) that is killing people and cooking them up for his other ghoulish buddies. He is bragging on his recipes and his cooking. Does that help any? I know it is weird and sick, but it is also kind of funny. It is just an old tale told to scare people. Kind of like the Boogieman is going to get you. Consider it a Zombie, perhaps that would explain it better. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water."

"Roped and tied, battered and fried"

Lol by now I think you would have been cannibalized; Congrats for surviving the Holocaust of misdeed of a ghoul in human body. Even the Ghoul would have left your body by now. So good luck in your future writes.
