Free Verse
I am pacing back and forth
in front of your rolling
heaven of joy
"Let me see" I utter
A lovely lilting latina voice
playfully mocks
"let me see"
I scowl in pretend anger
and you throw back your head/laugh
and every firework in the world
is ignited
My burrito so lovingly made
you hand it to me
with eyes of white-hot sensuality it is I
who turns away
blushing to the gods
- Scott Denny
Doth not the sun set in the west?
Doth not certain stars burn more intensely than their peers?
Likewise, the burrito dominates all other foods in ruthless
competition.
Yea, thou knowest it is so.
When the mighty Burrito doth reveal it's mighty face upon lesser foods,
all are vanquished.
Eating a burrito is as if God himself was looking down from heaven and
smiling upon me.
He doth look at me in quivering anticipation.
Stateth he, "You are my most wonderous creation."
Being the mightiest of creations, the Burrito can be compared unto the
Lion in its hunt. The mighty, noble lion lies in wait to attack
helpless lesser beasts. Likewise, the burrito waits with anticipation to
attack one's taste buds with unparalleled fury. The intense flavor that then
ushers into one's mouth is so divine, one will ne'er look to other
foods for similar pleasure again.
Just as the burning desire for a woman consumes us all, so doth that
for a burrito. When thou hungerests for that which can quench thine
endless hunger and fill thyself until thou sayest "Nay", thou knowest from
whence to turn.
Thou shalt lookest to the Burrito, and thou shalt be well satisfied.
Thine hunger shall be smited in the malice of the majestic Burrito.
The lesser foods that pale the Burrito in like comparison doth contain
a severe jealousy unto that mighty Burrito. Say they, “Thou art
mightier than both mine brother and I. Thou doth more than rival mine flavor
to an infinite degree. I shalt give up.” This be the decree of lesser
foods.
Yes, my friends, yes. The burrito is mighty. When thou decidest upon an
item to consume into thine belly in the eventide, thou shalt surely
give a loud and resounding “Yea” when thou thinkest of that divine food
that beest the Mexicans creation. The Burrito. The most magnificent of
all foods. Dost thou say “Yea”? Thou shalt not hesitate, methinks.
For Shizzle, it is so.
- Sean Vasas and Jason Wildasin
Oh, Burrito

I love to eat you
with just one bitey
Your delicious and crisp
with your beans and your cheese
wrapped in your foil
"one burrito please"
you love to taunt me
with your spicy charm

but I will eat you
because you look yummy
so in a second
you'll be in my tummy

BURRITOS, BURRITOS
Burritos, burritos are so good
Sometimes they give me wood.
Burritos, burritos are good indeed
They go really good with weed.
I like burritos, oh yes i do
I love burritos, how bout you?
Burritos are no doubt the best
Any other food is no contest.
- Patricio
I love you so
You never let me down
If you're hot,
I hate, but eat anyway
You're in my dreams
I think of you at work
I love to be in bed with you
You DOE not stalk me, barely
You go great with reality T.V.
I love to eat you in the bathroom,
As my roommate brushes her teeth
Rest now. See you next meal.
- K.R. Kaylor
BURRITO BEAUTY
As i look at my dear burrito,
I think of a day.
When the sun shone brightly,
In a fantastical way.
My eyes open with love,
As i turn to my snack.
I take a bite,
And don't look back.
Never before had
my tongue felt such joy,
It was even more delicious than
Kissing a boy.
As I finish and burp,
I am filled with glee.
Thank you Burrito Beauty,
You have satisfied me.
- Allison Lawrence
I love burritos, they are so good,
I'd eat them all day if I could.
Warm soft shell filled with meat,
They're the treat that can't be beat.
Lettace, tomato, sour cream too,
Whatever you want, they're good for you!
If I could have one last meal
it would include, a burrito, a coke that's some great food!
So for now, until I can next chow down,
I'll have to dream about that juicy mound.
Of goodness.
- Cate
Life is a burrito,
so don't trust in it even tantito
even tantito
even tantito.
First you feel it yummy in the stomach
and then noisy,
and then smelly in the ass
smelly in the ass
smelly in the ass.
First they give it to you in a tortilla
in a tortilla
in a tortilla.
It is saucey,
it is tasty,
but then after a while
you have your face all amarilla
all amarilla
all amarilla.
Life is a burrito
and I have no soda
to pass it through my throat.
It has cheese,
it is hot
so you have to wait, it's getting late,
don't want it cold, I'm getting old,
and I'll have to eat my oats.
It's getting late.
It has meat,
it has beans
and you eat it, it's delicious,
it keeps complete into my mouth
but then I feel something down
that's getting out.
And I have no margarita!
No margarita!
No margarita!
- Julio Romano
People throwing their heads back with laughter,
travelling back and forth between their meringue partners and margaritas
I sit and watch with an almost supernatural contentment
why you ask?
Because my latin waiter has just ushered a burrito, hot from the kitchen
right onto my plate.
and it is here, on this sacred table that i partake the most delicious of all foods: the burrito.
- Kelly
spicy bite
a taste of delight
yes! alright?
mexico
watch out for your pants
time to dance,

rhythm so catching
what a gem.
- Jez and Bill Burrito

Spicy and hot with beans and cheese

Thank you ... Thank you ... LittleBurro
- G-Spice
As her flourly lips reach mine, I quiver.
But then my being sits placid.
I take her in, that first euphoric bite.
As she descends I fear I am losing her.
But she only becomes more of me.
She dances within, filling my stomach, my mind, my heart.
She is home with me.
I am nowhere without her.
Without Anna.
- Steve
Meaty meaty
And
Beans
Cheese like
Velvet
Spicy....sauce to
Taste
This mouthful
I arrive to my
Burrito
In pepper glory
Damn the mild sauce!
Damn the mild sauce!
- El Burrito Loco
"Afternoon Burrito at Taqueria Cancun"
Tin foil and solitude-wafting beans.
I'd rather not eat this thing with you.
The tortilla sticking to my teeth,
Juice marbling my fingers, things spilling,
Do better in the blindness of outsiders.
Messiness reigns like a sweatshirt
With stains ballooning my stick frame
At a drawling feast where "who cares" comes true
And the Virgin Mary looks discreetly away.
That's how the grilled chicken, yellow
With rice, woozy with black beans
Sings to me in a chopped-up dream
Of dingy tables and random songs of love,
Percussion of knives, doors filled with street
And cat calls as far from me as your car.
I'm glad you bailed. It's a slow celebration.
I unwrap the toothpick and scrunch the twinge.
Foil in a ball, and the drift of a day.
- Diana Senechal
Eyes open from the Darkness
Glowing rays of Light surround me
It is daybreak
I am alone
I suffer from want, from desire
Where is my Nourishment?
Where is that which brings end to this pain?
Through night I am captive of my dream
Of beef,
Of bean,
Of Heavenly floured shell
Cheeses tease me, call out my name
Hot sauce of life stirring within my soul
Waiting, captive, suffering
Until mornings light does set me free
Alas, Sweet Morning, smile upon me
Come to me, Oh beautiful Burrito
Come, enter me and make me whole
For it is morning
And I live just for you
Once Again
- SnoopyDuh
My Burrito weighs a ton,
Yet exists sans-bun.
It's fattly rolled and braison gold
Trembling hands can't wait to hold.
I open it quickly free of toil,
hoping not to eat the foil.
What others say I have no care,
black beans & peppers fill the air.
To walk with such a splended bite,
fill with music my lonely nite.
Burrito, burrito,
I can't wait to eat'o
- Frank Berte
"My Burrito"
Burritos come and Burritos go
But my Burrito must be eaten slow.
Filled with pork and cheese and beans
Have another one, by all means.
There's no other food on the entire planet,
That tastes so good, even Emeril won't BAM it.
Salsa and seasoning, add just a touch;
Guacamole and crema...si, but not too much!
Not just for Breakfast, or dinner or snacks;
A Burrito is complete-o, there's nothing it lacks.
So go out and get one, do not delay,
Burrito muy bueno, Burrito...OLE!
- Snuzita
Burritos are what I love to eat
Burritos are a tasty treat
For lunch or for dinner
They're always a winner
My spicy little tortilla treat
Full of lots of spicy meat
I can't seem to put them down
I love to eat them around town
Burritos are the ultimate meal
They're a caliente real meal deal!
- Irma
A good burrito
is good to eat-o
You can eat it with beans-o
or maybe just cheese-o
Oh where is my burrito that I love like mad?
Oh yeah, I've eaten it--boo hoo,I am sad
- Amidoodles
Sitting in a taqueria.
Warm sun from the windows.
Warm sun on my face.
Wondering how it is possible.
How such happiness can be served
In a delightful tortilla.
With the intensity of death
I savor your flavor..
Your aroma..
Your beans..
Wrap me in your bliss.
Your simplistic beauty strikes me down.
I am happy.
- Franco Imperial
The burrito book is splendid
But the spell checker must be mended
To "compliment" a burrito is praise
Your web site needs "complement" in the phrase
But thanks for Thanksgiving was written so well
That goofs on your web site inspire "what the hell"!
The whole thing is great and surely a winner
If not you deserve another great dinner!
- Anne Ream
[Ed. note: Hey, what is this? A Grammar Rodeo?! You'll notice it's been "mended" though. Thanks!-)]
"To be a Burrito"
This long while I've dreaded
That I would be shredded --
To only be put in a bun,
But lately I've learned
That pork's on a run,
A burrito I now will become.
Con queso, con lettuce, con maiz y frijole,
I love being burrito -- a state that is holy
With black beans or brown beans, dripping from lips,
I love being swallowed along with those chips.
My eater is Pepe -- a man with few teeth,
So gentle his chewing -- my pain is so brief.
Oh Pepe, Oh Pepe -- please chew me some more
Green sauce or Red sauce -- you're the man I adore.
My dream was so brief -- yet so real and alluring
I thought for awhile my burrito state was enduring
Alas, back I go into land of the real,
To only be slapped in a hamburger meal.
Boo Hoo, Miss Burrito
So sad and so long
We'll see you in dreamland
Some time at Hussong's.
- Schnalice Y.
I love my burritos
filled with beans
take off the tinfoil
and eat by all means!
I like my burritos
late in the day
eat them enjoy them
that is the way!
burritos with hot sauce
burritos with cheese
stuff them with beans
and you it will please
That is the story
of our mexican feast
scarf them burritos
like you a beast
- Yo Churo El Dinco
Give us this day our daily burrito,
As I eat them so often
I sure do feel neato!
Where or where can my bean joy be?
If someone asks if I want one
The answer is Si!
- Shannon
I feel your love
as big as my head
beans have soaked
cheese was shred
lost in the montage
your salt like my sweat and tears
for chilis - forget my fears
your are complete
- MNF
Burritos, burritos, they're for me,

But get a one, and they'll make ya run
Big burrito, small burrito, I love them all
Big burrito, small burrito, in the mall
- Justin Helm and Wes McGee

Don't leave me burrito,
