naming the civil war
depends on which side
of the crust you stand on
what you mean by macaroni
and what is bread
what is bread flour
what is breadth first search
what is pasta made of
primavera
bolognese
pastafarianism:
we kneel to the one that was boiled
and flies spaghetti monstrous:
the intelligent design
of penne preached in Texas schools
instead of science
where cowboys prayed to cornbread
or biscuits
and now sling chili Cincinnati style
(more northern aggression
like abolition or ACA):
the proof is in the pudding
or spaghetti pie.
you just need to swallow it
At dVerse, we are doing Google search poetry. Mine came off as flarf, so I went with it. No meaning, just for smiles 😉
Susan Daniels Poetry 
marvelous, most entertaining and delightful.
Thank you, Hollie!
Reblogged this on Heartafire and commented:
delightful!
Excellent poem! I especially love the reference to the Flying Spaghetti Monster. 😉
Thanks! I never heard of him before I googled him 😉
FINALLY! – my lifelong affliction has a name – pastafarianism
Yes! I think we both are guilty of worshiping it!
Well, I DO love Cincinnati style chili! As for pasta, I’ll take it any way it is served. Smiles.
Oh, me too! That spaghetti monster better watch out… I am coming after it with a fork 😉
cornbread, biscuits and chili…i would def be all about that…i def watch what i swallow…though the flying spaghetti monster is an intriguing argument, you know…smiles
LOL, I want to be a pastafarian now…. Who knew?
I quite like fresh pasta – altough I am not sure I would “kneel to the one that was boiled” – but had no idea such lines would come up!
I was poking fun as pastafarianism 😉
This was fun!
Smiles are what I need right now and I’m glad someone is able to provide them.
Thank you, Aprille!
pastafarianism…haha…so fun…i love pasta…
😉 me too! I was laughing so hard when I saw the pastafarianism…
Ha . this was quite a twist… great writing here…. though it made me slightly hungry.
Hee, hee. Thanks.
Oh, so clever. Pastafarian… chuckle. I loved the whole. Am heading back up to reread. This would be brilliant aloud.
Thank you, Margo! I had a lot of fun with this…
Now I’m wanting some pasta. Saw a comment about Cincinnati Chili. Oh yum. And watch out for those flying spaghetti monsters.
Another happy, smiling reader here …
This was loads of fun–the pasta and bread theme worked out deliciously!
Thank you, Nico!
Spaghetti monstrous…what fun Susan ~ Smiles ~
Thanks, Grace! I had fun!
Much love to the Flying Spaghetti Monster! Wonderful poem! 🙂
Hahaha–thank you. I just love that name!
This cracked me up-
where cowboys prayed to cornbread
or biscuits
and now sling chili Cincinnati style
Hee, hee. My work here is done.
“where cowboys prayed to cornbread”… don’t know why, but I love that line.
No meaning? This means a lot to me:
the intelligent design
of penne preached in Texas schools
instead of science
😉 well, there is that. I can’t write something about the FSM without poking fun at the politics…
Can’t handle the truth when it comes in a sandwich with intelligent design and spaghetti pie made in Texas! This is not a funny poem, but I was cracking up at what y’all served up. Philosophy aside, pasta is my comfort food.
Such flaring fun!
Ah, but writing and reading are different creatures. What you lay down with no meaning beyond the assemblage can lead another to find inspiration for some tangential thought or idea.
quite inclusive ! You’re genius Susan !
Hee, hee. Thanks. It was fun!
Scary to think that I’ve heard of a number of these – Pastafarianism, the spaghetti monster, and so on. It’s amazing what you can do with such a disparate group of puzzle pieces as the results of a Google search, isn’t it? But a good basis for re-arranging into a poem.
Thanks, Sam. Had fun with this–thank you for the prompt.
well-spun. I enjoy your elements of food. I have heard much of the flying spaghetti monster… that monster has quite a following. the silliness makes me smile.
Thanks, Jane 😉
