Cozy Contemplations - 30. Chapter 30 Frank's Red Hot

Just some silly fun. This metaphoric offering was inspired by me picking out some pretty intense camouflage hiking boots instead of the nice, safe, black ones befitting a man of my age. Those were already in my cart, but... screw that!

Frank’s Red Hot

 

 

My life needs a little coriander

Cilantro if you will

Someone with a spicy candor

Tinged with the tartness of dill

 

No, I’m not asking for Cayenne

My genes aren’t up to the task

I happen to be a Scotsman, you ken

My heat best comes from a flask

 

A nutty citrus would be nice

To wake up my saliva

Or Hollandaise, drizzled on rice

Followed up with chocolate Godiva

 

Bland isn’t working anymore

Maybe it’s time for some ginger

Salt and pepper have become a bore

With curry I could become a binger

 

The world is full of different flavors

And I deserve my share

Some exotic fruits for my labors

To enhance one’s tangy fare

 

Maybe some cumin seeds for a start

To wake my palate with their bite

Enough strong herbs to jolt the heart

And sate my staled appetite

 

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

They all become the same

Screw the routine, where’s the comfrey?

I’m sick of being tame

 

Oh hell, some wings with Frank’s Red Hot

A juice to get me flying

I don’t want the usual store-bought

Just a spice who keeps me trying

:P  Thanks for reading... I hope this made you smile. Cheers!

You have made me laugh! Thank you for turning my tears into smiles, then grins!

It's wonderful that I could do that, mayday! That was my goal, to have some fun with poetry... often it has been heavy of late. Thanks for reading and commenting, my friend :hug: ... cheers... Gary....

I see you've altered the adage--or is that adulterated?  Life is the variety of spice....   😸

 

Hollandaise on rice?  Dare I say...yuck.

Have I? Cool. I enjoyed writing this metaphorical take on life, buddy. And it all started with a pair of camo boots. :P I guess, though, in thinking about it, my attitude may have started with finally getting a new puppy and shaking up my life. Either way, I can still walk on the wild side if I want, right? 

 

And hey, pork tenderloin and rice pilaf, drizzled with Hollandaise, browned under the oven broiler (because I don't have a salamander), is awesome... or you could do a bearnaise sauce... anyway, it's mouthwateringly good. Trust me. lol Thanks, CG... xoxoxo

I had a bad morning, I heard that I may have a heart problem, and sometimes I tend to overthink things. I feel a tad better now that I had some time to digest the news.
Reading this excellent contemplation made me smile and it cheered me up. Thank you, Gary. 

Hi, Job. I tend to overthink things too, I hope any new news is good for you, :hug: It makes me happy to hear I cheered you up. Take care, my friend... cheers... Gary....
