new! - "boiling emotion" search story

the search for life's meaning can take many shapes - in this case, it's a ring.

jealous?

my bagel’s worth bragging
and boasting about
i smirk when i slice it
and toast it all out
your envy is obvious
don’t say you’re not
‘cuz onions cause far fewer
teardrops n’ snot

the comeback – or – what is whitesnake eating right now anyway?

i don’t know what i’m eatin’
but i sure know what i ate
burpin’ up the onion gas
from bread rings of yesterday

now i know how it feels
to taste again my long since finished meal

here it comes again

Acceptance

When half my bagel’s been eaten right through
I usually say it just can’t be true

When half my bagel is chewed up and gone
I scream and throw objects out on the lawn

When half my bagel’s been shoved down my sac
I would do anything to get it back

When half my bagel succumbs to my bite
I weep onion tears the rest of the night

Yet deep down in my stomach’s heart I know
When half of it’s gone, there’s still half to go

sense of uneasiness felt upon returning home after dark

front door pushes open
kitchen light lit
knife block turned slightly out of place

are those crumbs on the carpet?
cream cheese on the rail?
the faint waft of onion in the hall?

i want to throw back that bedspread
and reveal a harmless pillow,
but the pit in my stomach says i shouldn’t

Fresh air
Into a stale series,

Plus show how all that onion dough
Got cursed

In the first place.

Bagel Horror Movie Sequels

Show lots more

Slicing,
Crumbs,
And dried up
Onion bits

Than the originals.

Bagel Horror Movies

Tend to include

Serrated knives,
Chase scenes through onion fields,
And toasters rigged

Not to pop.

Duly Noted

When Snoop Dogg asks you
To break ‘im off a piece
Of Onizzle Bagazzizzle,

He probably isn’t talking
About your Onion Bagel.

please ignore the cannibalistic overtones

busy little bagel
buzzing like a bee
trying to fill these toasters
and spread all that cream chee

if you can’t get them finished
for this morning’s meal
i’m afraid your little
onion brain is gonna peel!

Keep Your Day Jobs

Yesterday the bagel baker
swapped shops with the pizza maker

One threw onioned dough up high
like it was a hand tossed pie,
The other used a knife to thrust
gaping holes in deep dish crust

The bagels came out of the fryers
looking like deflated tires,
While pizzas became topping bowls
as melting cheese fell into holes

Neither pleased the cerebellum
but no one had the heart to tell ’em
