Craving Pickles - What a Myth!

When they’re “preggers,” some females feel fickle And their "fancy" just some foods can tickle. I (instead) ate and ate. Dang it. . . How much less weight I’d have gained if I’d craved only pickles! For P.D.'s Contest: Pickles & Tickles "Limerick"

I crave chocolate all the time; I have a distended belly; If I didn't know better I would think this were a classic sign. Enjoyed your limerick.

That's a very funny limerick, Andrea. People are supposed to have all sorts of odd cravings when they're pregnant. Good luck in the contest.

Hehe this made me laugh. I remember the weird things my friends craved when they were pregnant ;) good luck with this weighty write for pd's contest Andrea. Roti dough you can either buy readymade or you can make it yourself. There are still a lot of people that make it themselves and it is yummy ;) love Wilma

I love pickles of all kinds yum. Years ago I craved donuts when I was pregnant and that was a long, long time ago. I bought a dozen chocolate covered and gorged myself. Yep, every last one was gone. Ha ha ha. Good luck in the contest Andrea. God Bless Phyl

Oh I love this one!!!! LOL Thanks for your comment on the 9/11 poem...as many of my poems do, they arrive 'unexpectedly' and at the oddest times:) Often at inconvenient times when busy doing something else that needs doing right then:)

I had to look up "preggers." Last time I was P.G. I craved liver sausage, which is bad for my gout. A humorous utterance, dear. I definitely hav LOST IT! The title of that poem should have been "Frost Advisory." and it is a Haiku I guess. Love, Dave
