Day 190: Pickles

No, this is not a true story. It's a metaphor. :-)

Pickles
By Batsheva 6/9/10

Pickles can be sour
Pickles can be sweet
But either way
I have to say
They're what I love to eat

I'll eat them in the morning
I'll eat them right at noon
I'll eat them after school
Or at night beneath the moon

I'll eat them in a sandwich
I'll eat them with some toast
I'll eat them with my ice cream
Although people say that's gross. . . .

Now

I'm sitting on the potty
And I'm trying not to cry
'Cause I ate too many pickles
And I feel like I could die

You could say I'm in a pickle
(Though that would make me mad)
Who knew all those yummy pickles
Could make me feel so bad?

So I wish someone would help me
Since I've tried with all my might
To find some kind of off-switch
On my pickle appetite!
