But a boxer who never goes into the ring may be well prepared to do so when required.

Maybe. But maybe the best way to prepare is to get that practice in the ring.

Raison d'ętre

raisins are dimpled
brown buttons of excitement
they promise so much
but one bite makes my teeth ache
I have:
soaked them
cooked them
stuffed them in bread, cookies and oatmeal
put them on peanut butter
blended them with kanten
and I still have not the fondness for them
I am so sad to say

Jai

ode to the sultana

I have touched this precious
glowing glorious fine bit
but my teeth have not rapped around this
this that of this
well, I do think this fruit is such a delight
a feast for the eye
absolutely fabulous in size and shape
but my mandible has not known this in the biblical sense
of course I am busy reading The Prophecy of Osee Chapter I
The word of the Lord....etc
blah...blah.....
I hate to keep you from the absolutely succulent fruit.
Jai who is busy picking her teeth

Why is it called a peanut?
is it a nut
is it a pea
I like em:
salted
sugared
chocolated
powered
toffeed
with that red bumpy stuff
chunky
funky
and
smooth

Jai

 

Jai, you are wonderful

I shall write soon, I promise. Sometimes it comes, sometimes it doesn't. But don't worry, I won't make you do all the foods by yourself :-)
