I eat my peas with honey. I’ve done it all my life. It may sound kind of funny, but it keeps them on my knife. ---

**Fatcat** would agree with **Eve**. He sifts his food as if through a sieve. Though canned food is oft much like a stew Green peas are something he just will NOT chew. “Mix it thoroughly; he won’t know!” Is misguided as he’ll show. He’ll sort the peas out from his food He’ll glare at you in a beligerent mood. He feels his food was contaminated. Only by sorting he reluctantly ate it. You’ll find his bowl empty, Fatcat asking for more But all those green peas are piled up on the floor. ---

So **bear** s and **donkey** s like their rice With greenish bits. They think it’s nice. Then add the meat! Have a good time! But not in here - it doesn’t rhyme! … No peas for me! I’ll take it plain. Peas are surely rice’s bane. Side veggies, though, with green pea pods Will make us all just eat like gods! ---

I, too, am a hater of the humble pea, Rolling 'round on my plate, staring smugly at me. To destroy them, I asked hubby for a blender, please; Now I hit “puree” and strive for whirled peas. ---

**Leaper,** I fear I bring bad news, of a graphic nature, please excuse. **Eve** has missed no preposition, She’d “eat her out,” by her admission. It’s time you’ve learned your vulgar slang, “Eating out” involves putang! ---

I must confess I did at first misread **Eve’s** post, and feared the worst I gnashed my teeth and clutched my head "Not a miscegenation thread! "Not from **Eve** – she’s much too cool “to be that kind of hateful fool!” I read again – to my relief it justified my disbelief For **Eve’s** goal was (and this no vice) the purity of the white **r_i_ce** So I read on – Peas!-- made me laugh! (and I so love a good pilaf) While when I cook rice I employ them, I don’t insist that **Eve** enjoy them Though with carrots cardamom and cumin– Enough of that. I’m only human I want to help, I really do But this nagging deja vu… A musty classroom, nigh forgotten I have the sense the answer’s not in culinary principles, _vis_: gustatory miscellany I’ll think of it, just give me time… Aha! I have it! And – it rhymes! This is not a cooking topic Pea or not Pea? That’s a frolic Intro to Symbolic Logic (This verse born of vodka tonic) Thus rigor do we need apply Scientific rules, and I experimented with a child A specimen plucked from the wild of my back yard. It’s perfect! She’s a fan of rice, but can’t stand peas. A bowl of both was soon prepared The scientist (that’s me) repaired behind a blind where I could see the parting of the rice and pea. I now submit for your approval the ultimate in pea removal The child saw peas and curled a lip and used a chopstick’s tapered tip to flick those peas out of her plate clean out of sight, near’ out of state! The rice remained as subject flicked 'em The world had one less green-pea victim So I urge\*\* Eve\*\* her peas to flick by using King of Soup’s kid’s trick. (btw, **Eve** , thanks for the kind words elsewhere. I’m afraid you’ll have to recant now. ---

I can’t be in public with friends or as a loner, This disservice to me is not too nice, See, to keep down this perma-boner, It has to be packed in ice. Still I must say in the voice of Homer, “Mmmmm… **Eve** eating out Heidi Fleiss.” ---

I’m in this tread, I’ll make it worse, I’ll add this little crappy verse. We talked of peas and rice and stuff, We even mentioned Heidie’s muff. The Bear, the Donkey, they be winkin’, And Lieu is here and he be stinkin. It all began because of Eve, Who doesn’t like her rice with peas Now I like rice with peas, or not, And plnnr wants a girl that’s hot. Soupie taught our Eve a trick, JS, stop playing with your dick! Crayon’s cat will work to sort, And Malka had a Vodka snort. Marli wants her’s in the blender And I think that’s how I’ll ender. ---

If you mention an “ender” now It’ll make me think of rears, and how! It’s Heidi that I’d like to bend over and make her bark like my dog, Rover. ---

The ship’s arrived, the Eagle’s landing, **Eve’s** intent I’m understanding. I guess my head has got some messing (and I eat sticky rice with Italian dressing). ---

Though I hate those peas in rice, I cannot stomach Heidi Fleiss. But funny girls I think are nice– So I _would_ eat out Fanny Brice.
