Muirias of the Chewing

Dagda his restoring cauldron stored at Muirias

Mounding with esculents, edible pleasants peak point

Jointing out from horn’s mouth

Wide as those taking pleasance thereround

Shells bulbous jutting obstetric, preceding Partholon

Striated persimmons like asymmetrical Parthenon

Or jag’d scallop’d zig-zag asphodel meadow blends

Lung-shaped berries beril-bellied, with date bent

Effulging plumlike, alien growths homely on lambent isles azure-skied

On faraway islands solar-fomented

Abutting trees woodwose entrusted 

Mossy beard crusted with amberil sap

Sun-thrusting limb donning foliate cap

All this and more an’undredscore

Adorning plenty’s handbusy horn

No company ever went forth unsatisfied

Or perhaps Semias in pride wrote lies.


Cows entire in man-high pies pepperspiced

Writhing stream from a minor breach

Fleshrecalling peaches, deep-trawling tunafish

Galling monkfish untonsured

Things an eater cannot be sure are dead

So fresh are they, curing tonsils

All financed by tithes sent for

All isle’s length every holdfast

Pride swallows, arrangement abeyant

To Muirias journeys, paying arraignment.


Toothsome noothgrush mushed into soup

Food crushing crashing rocks dentastic tasting

Unspooling pooling drool-drowning

Meal well outlaid occupies liptrimmed trickplayer

Sleeping biphasically having feasted all Easter

Mound they are rounded like babe-bound maids

Belly ballast blasthold, soon a casting out, Hyskos leaving Egypt

Slivers of eel and escargot gut-going, molar bardo

Gnashing clashing safe-sailing Argo

Poddle-caught cod

As many as God’s lot got dockside gospel, rocksalt armoured

No embargo, mealers grow large then larger

Plunder larder neverempty restocked hourly

Potatoes, oranges, eyes to be peeled

Field life JohnBarley peed seeds thereof

Stalked broccoli like soft polearms

Christpainted robin frocks, flesh dulcified by holly hocks

Shocks of lettuce, toxic berries charm-gentled into jam

Ram-prowed galleon of the tongue which waves abutt

Tasting as it does what into cravingflavour mouth is put

Even mutt guts distended freely-taking; they have much

They lunch on viking slabs of piebald meat, beaks bloodied

Beef braised, rife with marble-oghamed hints

Ripe sliding from holding bone

Oracled delicious by shadow-cloaked barking, every bite worth remarking

Motes melted butter girdling mashed potato castle

Tasseled troops marching suits of bacon armour

Which hungry birds do harm to, startling sours and wifely sweets

Unseatingly good sweet treats

Honey as clothes the heels, feet and teets of honeybees

Like cheeky treacle, easy-breezy squeezy lemon

So delight a Sole soul, cudded to debris

Gravy boats like elaborate chopines

Raising actors higher at showtime, Daneclimes 

Hamlet lines gracing between ham hocks glazed

Crunchsome duck eggs, lamb leg and breast

Sweet marbles they suck at

Pondering dead for a ducat, grapes by bucket to pluck at.
