Premium Member she had been searching for grumpy gourd
lovely lively lithe Louise Lampford grew a grainy greasy grumpy gourd believing beyond belief in Baker’s board she said she’d been searching for a grumpy gourd. We thought this would delight Louise Lampford But she could not cut the beast with machete or sword....

The Bottle Gourd Rhyme
I am tall, I am slender, Light Green but not cucumber. Have a snout, have a tail, Found in market & even retail. Packed with Vitamin C, K & Calcium, I punch my weight in nutrition. Eat me & get a healthy heart, Bring down cholesterol & fat! I am 90% water & light, & can climb up with delight. Eat me & be...

Sword of Mischief Is Ready
Nick's sword of mischief is ready, The thrusts to be ever steady For those he is sure are heady, Now controllable, soon an eddy... Nick's challengers need steely sword, Until they accept a Made Lord, Palm wine has failed with its swell gourd; No one has ever pleased a horde. Nick shall reached throats slash with his sword, Now it's without doubt the Spring...

Let the light stay radiant and bright In the lives of true God's children; Let not the dark conceal or blind The open eyes of the brethren. Let the fire of the burning love Be...

Ode To the Orange Gourd
It’s that time of year again... When family and friends gather together.. To share and give thanks for all that they treasure.. The young and the old, the tall and the small.. The Vegans and the Carnivores, come one come all... There are dishes of tradition, like Turkey and stuffing.. Mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry muffins.. Green Bean casserole, and corn soufflé... Are...
