Killer Zucchini

Slice and boil
the one that got away
the one that would play the lead
in the Squash that Ate Chicago...
the monster
that always has the crowd wild eyed
and screaming
my god! is that really
A zucchini.
Strain off the water
Adding one bouillon cube (any kind)
and one tablespoon of olive oil
Puree and serve hot and steaming
with a slug of cold sour cream
dumped into the center of each portion.
Top with a sprinkle of dill seed,
salt and season to taste.
and now let us praise the chef
the only artist whose creative work
must speak to every sense
the literary labors of Shakespeare
are immense
feeding and filling the soul...
but a steady diet of language
leaves the stomach growling
and although
it would garnish your life
and delight your eye
a garden salad by Picasso
would be as tasty
as old canvas and varnish
and whatever
the sculpture Rodin
might put on the table
would be a masterpiece for sure
but nothing you could get your teeth into
no doubt
the sound of a string quartet
is more uplifting than the sizzle
of bacon in a pan
but by intermission a sweaty musician
doesn't smell as good
the fine art of cookery
demands the heart hand and eye
of a complete renaissance man
and as always
muttering into her napkin
counterpoint to this
my wife:
"Why is it when a woman
cooks a meal it is just a meal
but when a man
cooks a meal
it's such a big big deal!"
