He's a Crazy Bastard:

or the anthropomorphism of Algernon the french fry.

Undressed; at attention.
there's more than one
gay fry in the red and yellow box.
I feel them bending, blowing
salty breath on my naked neck.
Huddled together and scared
from stinging sodium; I'm hit,
a grain pushes against my arse
I cry as I slide upward
Harry is also crying but not Algernon
Algernon's laughing

"Where's the fucking mayo?"

Like Algernon in " Flowers for Algernon"?

Well Just happened to have a fry poem lying around from this morning after reading the prompt and being to shy to post. So here goes

I Didn’t Want to be a Fry


When the world bloomed,
I waited,
swaddled in a dirt cocoon.
I made meal plans with earthworms.

My bare body split and open,
becoming one with sharp cheddar, scallion flecked.
I can see the drool pooling, from my black truffle, Parmesan, kisses,
lip licking.
A golden crusted Knight,
 a real ladies spud.

Now,
my golden dreams, held captive.
Restrained,
I wait in over salted shackles, under heat lamp,
festering.

Oh! Grubby mouths,
Please chomp me out of existence.

Well done, I especially like the opening strophe and "a real ladies stud", does an apostrophe belong somewhere in ladies? Though I didn't notice it on the read.

It's a lovely, sad conclusion.

This isn't new, but I thought it fitted in here ...


eating at the beach ~
twice a day the waves roll in
for their take-away

Sharp. mmm, eating at the beach, everything tastes twice as good, I'd like to follow those waves and do it twice a day.

Thank you the ladies spud tickled me to , now.... Strophe is that code for stanza or short for apostrophe ? I have seen someone else use that term as well. My newb eyes find it incomprehensible.  On ladies thing I must admit, spelling and grammar- key yet some how I tend to miss the rules. I did look it up and I am thinking that Ladies is a plural word.. If it was lady's then I think apostrophe would fit.

I think.. Maybe

Also dig the beach thing, Short and sweet like a candy coated elf.
