MegaDaisy

For [livejournal.com profile] daisydumont. I asked MegaHAL about Daisy, and he came up with:

You can look at with
the future seems a myth
warped on a stone;
old merlin, charmed there, dreaming drowsy dreams;
a great deal of pacing, at the zoo,
by a glancing dart,
planted by daisy bell!

daisy, daisy,
give me time i won't be there.
and i still feel pain?
when does it end, when is my work on such a night
autumn winds being heard
once upon a massachusetts midnight,
under the double quilt, a secret promise
don't mean a lot o' news,
with haughty, wicked eyes and fills them with softened butter or margarine
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garam masala
¼ teaspoon triple sec
½ teaspoon ground red pepper
1 cup matzo farfel
½ cup dijon mustard
½ cup sliced pitted ripe olives
1 cup quick-cooking barley
see their hungry eyes, it's a hungry home
and twenty-nine in each pew
held myself above the serengeti
i didn't know i should.

(I don't know about you, but that recipe does not sound very appetizing to me.)

Oh, and here's a line from another Megapoem: "i have marched through the existing e-mail message with the daisies."

Ahhh, well the garam masala is promising, but not with all the sugar & the triple sec... ;)

I love "daisy, daisy/give me time i won't be there." This is funny. Thanks, Hummingwolf! A nice treat for lunchtime. :)

Glad you liked it! It was less depressing than most of what my Hal comes up with. My MegaHAL is too full of angst. Okay, angst and dessert recipes.

Hahaha, angst + dessert recipes, not such a bad combo. I have days like that myself. :D
