Food Fool for Love
Valerie Duhig
Poems are written about mother's
care
Others may sing to the stars far
above
The sex of the opposite always
attracts
But me, I'm a food fool for love
I see Brenda's deft touch at the salad
bar
And Harv's wizardry at the grill
Peggy's mast'ry of the sandwich
supply
I know some adore the triple decker
club
I love the macaroni and cheese
With stewy 'mats on top
The iridescent curry soup
I sing your praises and can't stop
I'll always be faithful
And this I can prove
You see me here daily and say
Now THERE's a food fool for love
Love of My Life
By: David Kelly
I awake in the morning, I can't wait
to see
that love of my life once again
while I sit and take notes I dream of
my love,
My first class is over at ten
When from behind the counter my
eyes are pleased
She shows me some skin and strips
My impatience grows I can hardly
wait
Til my love at last meets my lips
My love is like being in paradise
But you'd never know 'til you've tried
A few strips of bacon, some fresh hot
home fries
And a cute slice of orange on the side
I'll give you all the time you need
to make up your mind.
I pray that we did plant a seed and our
love you will find.
It does not seem that love will be,
your love will not be mine.
the future that I hoped to see
forever last in time.
The times we spent were so much
fun,
I hoped that they would last.
But, suddenlly the shining sun
is an object that has passed•
The smiles we shared;to touch your
staff. So, these poems are
the cream of the crop, the
best of the best, the "big
cheeses" of poetry, By far
the greatest thing to happen
to poetry since the rhyme.
the good times coming fast,
I know I lost a two man race
and love is in the past.
Your love is gone though,
I really don't know why.
I do know that the world is hollow
andd I have touched the sky.
Valentine's Day, that longing time of
the year
When a bouquet of roses brings such
good cheer.
This year I haave a difficult decision
to make,
Which pretty lady will be the icing
ON MY CAKE?
Darlene, Peggy Sue, Michelle and
Tanya,
Four perfect suitors for cupid's love
arrow.
And Peg and Harv, who are two more
reasons,
To have a Valentine's Date in every
season.
So I sit here wondering what to d 0...
Which sweet girl will get to hear "I
Love You"
So, with six fine candidates and such
fine quality,
I'll keep may admiration until the
next Holiday.
For I can't bring myself to raise my
voice,
Because to neglect any of them would
be such a bad choice.
Happy Valentines Day,
Gorgeous Ladies in the Den
Love,
Rob Linden
A Valintine Question:
IS MY HARV IN THE RIGHT
PLACE??
H ow seldom Valentines, in words so
few,
A re sent your way, right here at PSU:
R emember all the times you had
prepared
V ast numbers of those pickles we have
shared?
P erhaps, at times, you wondered how I
felt •
S uggesting daring things like Tuna
Melt:
U nless you fondly gaze into my eyes,
H owever shall you see through my
disguise?
