Popcorn

Pan
Oil
Pour it out slow.

Kernels
Falling
“Plink” they go.

Heat.
Wait-
Sizzle, sizzle, smell.

Ahhhh!
Sniff,
I’m under a spell!

Listen.
Look.
Stir, so they don’t stick.

Pip…
Pop!
Put the lid on quick!

Pippity
Poppity
Pop poppoppoppoppoppoppop! pop . . pop . . . . pop . . . . . . . . . . .pop.

Crunch,
Munch, munch.
I just can’t stop!
