The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Beware, the Pepper Seed!

Beware, the pepper seed!

Beware of the pepper seed
hidden in your meal
waiting for you, indeed

To bite it without knowing
then you'll shout and start blowing

It's a pepper, a pepper seed
now, your face red hot!
who put pepper in the pot?

Gubble a cup of soda
your mouth's still hot!
who put pepper in the pot?

Grab a spoon of sugar
ooh, that's better.....

Search through your food
for the culprit
now, you can't find it

Where is it?

Hidden in your meal
so beware, for it's real!

Been there, done that (although I've never tried the sugar)! This is great, Maryam! I love the word "gubble"! Very well written and expressed and great imagery, too! Love, Robin
