My Ongoing Exploration of Earth

Peas Porridge Hot

​This is a poem I wrote in 2004. I imagine all of my poetry to set to music, though I am rarely able to come up with tunes of my own. This one I imagine to the tune of Just Push Play by Aerosmith.

​Peas porridge hot
Peas porridge cold
Peas porridge in the pot
Nine days old
Some like it hot
Some like it cold
Some like it in the pot
Nine days old

Gramma's in the kitchen
Smokin' up some pie
Grampa won't eat it
And he won't say why
Gramma's in the kitchen
Servin' out some pie
Grampa won't eat it
And he won't even try
Mikey sees some cornbread
Sittin' on a shelf
There's nobody around
He gets it down himself
Mikey sees some cornbread
Sittin' on the floor
Mikey walks away
He don't want it anymore

Peas porridge hot
Peas porridge cold
Peas porridge in the pot
Nine days old
Some like it hot
Some like it cold
Some like it in the pot
Nine days old

Kristen's at school
Kaylee's on the phone
Danny's outside
Creating fantasies all alone
Kristen's at market
Kaylee has flown
Tom walks in
And makes himself at home
Who ate the cheese?
Daddy wants some more
He'd get it himself
But he's too poor
Mikey ate the cheese
He ate it before
Daddy chases mikey
Right out the door

Peas porridge hot
Peas porridge cold
Peas porridge in the pot
Nine days old
Some like it hot
Some like it cold
Some like it in the pot
Nine days old
Peas porridge hot
Peas porridge cold
Peas porridge in the pot
Nine days old
Some like it hot
Some like it cold
Some like it in the pot
Nine days old
