Homage To Theodor
Teodoro McGrew
sat alone consuming
purple yak vindaloo
mid the din
of other animated eaters
another Saturday evening
at posh Chez Ballyhoo
Suzy Swansong
Teo’s perky server
asks “any desert…
or perhaps digestif?”
yes please
choochooberries
In dark chocolate slipper
with zingtingle sauce
topped with whipped cream
Teo’s hunger
satisfied, sighs,
claps his hands
to summon the bill
Suzy with flourish,
smiling complies
after paying the check,
with fifty fiddle tip
Teo sings, thank you
with glint in his eyes
says, “listen here, Suzy
there’s this Red Apple Pieman’s Ball
at Tam o' Shanter Hall
beginning at seven tomorrow
I’d be honored
If you’d accompany me
pray, does that interest you at all?”
“yes, I love to dance Teodoro!
and my cachoommate
I think, has a dress I can borrow
Enraptured
by her cachoo door she waits
arrayed in flowing
golden delicious gown
paired with crisp fuji vest
a la mode scarf accentuates
Teo rolls up
In pippin green limousine
the conveyance of choice
for one who lives to be seen
wearing black tuxedo, mcintosh tie,
with granny smith spats
he ascends spiral staircase
to collect his date
greets , kisses the hand
of her shy cachoomate
then off they go
to their first but not last dance
further details or clues
of their lives are unknown
suffice it to say
Mr.Teodoro McGrew
never again consumed
purple yak vindaloo, alone

Thank you, Joe
It's intended to be nonsensical. It's a Dr. Seussian romance.

OMG how did I miss this?! I guess I was missing a lot by the end of April...
You have a real knack for the Seussian wordsmithing! What a delightful love affair. I'll have some of those choochooberries with zingtingle sauce, please....
Big Bravo!!!

Thank you, dear K
I enjoy writing in the Seussian style of ryhming...and making up words. What's so enjoyable is imaginning the scenes as I write. I am thrilled that you like this romantic romp.🥰

The characters and delicacies could be right out of Roald Dahl! I'd love some choochooberries in zingtangle sauce! Sweet romance too, sigh!
