POEMS

JUSTSMOKEDSALMON

Smoked Salmon is nice
over rice
try it once
and you’ll try it twice
no other device
could ever suffice
not even miniature
chocolate mice
so don’t rely
on a toss of the dice
eat JUSTSMOKEDSALMON
if you want to be wise.

SAVOR THE FLAVOR!

Alder chips
make a
smoky blitz
of seasoning
for savoring
salmon, steaks, ribs and wings
vegies and almost anything!

Summer – Fall – Winter – Spring
we can celebrate them all
with Just Smoked Salmon
alder chips so
write right now,
email or simply call!!

YANKS ‘N PLANKS

While closing ranks
will win no thanks
when cooking on planks
some folks are “rebels”
others are “yanks”
a few are just
mean, old cranks
so before you end up
drawing blanks
or spinning your wheels
with klinks ‘n klanks
try cooking with planks
be they cedar or alder
with a drizzle of oil
you’re free from toil.

PERFECT PEPPERONI POEM

Pepperoni snacks
have extra taste
when eaten quickly
there’s no waste.
There is only
that truly great
aftertaste!
***

COWBOY SONG

Pepperoni rode a pony
to JUSTSMOKEDSALMON’s website
loaded up on good smoked Jerky
then rode quickly out of sight

All wondered
where he’d gone
until he boomeranged
with plenty of empty saddlebags
and his entire gang!

They ate and ate
some danced and sang
then rode away
at end of day
carrying booty
in saddlebags
filled with all
that came their way
Smoked Salmon, Jerky
and Pepperoni
were carted off
on that cowboy’s pony.

JUST SMOKED SALMON SNACKS

If you need a snack
or want a meal,
Listen Up!
’cause here’s the deal,
Instead of just
droolin’ ’round
dive right in
quit foolin’ ’round.
***

INVITATION

Some folks chew the fat
here we chew the jerky.
Some folks catch their fish
here we never simply wish
ours are the finest alder smoked
(using simply the best salmon of course)
we do the work
while you have the fun
come one, come all,
come everyone.
***

CHAMPION BREAKFAST

“Smoke ’em !”
yelled Jerky
throwing alder on the fire
those salmon are ready
to expire!
Pepperoni joined him
and between the two
JUSTSMOKEDSALMON
came into view
on the Internet.
Soon everyone knew
this famous site
had replaced
their porridge
overnight.
Don’t risk deception
I’m warning you.
Choose the snack of champions
whatever you do.
***

REGARDING PLANK COOKING

You’ve set the stage
now you’re on course
the freshest fish
the finest cold-pressed oil
(olive, of course)
fresh herbs for seasoning
these bountiful feasts
folks hearts will swell
as appetites increase.

Whether pesos or francs
are the coin of your realm
when YOU act as Chef
you’re at the helm!

So, go for the best
for yourself and your guest
leave inferior products
to all the rest.
