Each week, we search for something new,
A matter that would interest you,
When searching topics thin or thick,
We thought of of ‘Something on a
Stick’.
Now what would you imagine we
Could find as poet wannabees,
To rhyme with ‘stick’ and manage, still,
To find those things this topic fills...
First, some things, as kids we loved,
The foods that on a stick were shoved,
Like hot dogs, cookies, pudding pops,
Corn on the cob was always tops,
Some cotton candy. Meatballs, yes!
Truly those things were the best!
And cheesecake pops, bananas—froze
(I'll make some. Come for one of those!)
Then waffles, pancakes, fried cheese, too,
And lollipops to name a few.
As adults, we all still indulge,
The trouble now? These make us bulge!
Like things on skewers, bacon, fish,
Or shrimp. Or sushi, if you’d wish,
Kebabs are fun. And PBJ,
(Sand-wiches made a different way!)
Some grapesicles or other fruit,
A skewered salad can be cute,
Some turtle pops, or some grilled cheese,
Some chicken tenders if you please,
All are yummy, cold or hot,
Some homemade and some store-bought,
Yep. ‘Finger foods’. Don’t you agree
That fork-free is the way to be?
Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So Karen, Charlotte, Mimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?
We'd love to welcome you!
