Burnt Sausage

Recruitment began in the barnyard
meat ground and seasoned lightly
casing surrounding like an ectoenzyme
poor peculiar diazotized sausage
oil and fat sizzle and coruscate
endurance tested on a frying pan
now left on a plate, uneaten
alone, dejected and humiliated
lengthy circumlocution can describe why
who would celebrate the rubbery edges
or love the burnt flavor if consumed
in retrospect, it was overcooked

Dinner Mishap

My life stood still
by a single innocuous
murderous meatball

A light maelstrom,
blood like sauce
stained my briolette necklace

Officious halcyon ventripotent poodle
unthreatened, helping herself
to the haberdashery of food

Call it clumsiness,
an elderly fossil fumbles
a light slippery fork

But always count on
the reliability of your dog
to help clean up the mess
