Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Big Brother's Pickling You

Pickled ham and pickled beef
Cause weak stomachs too much grief


Did you know they pickle cherries
Grandma ate some; said three Hail Marys


In glass jars, store pickled tomatoes
Do not try this with wet potatoes


Russians all swear by pickled herring
Grate in radish and schmaltz if you are daring


Pickling cucumbers are oh-so-fresh and cute
Try pickled jalapenos; you will fart and toot


My favorite thing of all's to pickle eggs
They make my little sister choke and gag

Jean Bush February 20, 2020 at 1:33 PM Hahaha! Love this. I adore pickled eggs & herring. I'll stay pickled for just a nickel. Gershon Wolf February 20, 2020 at 3:32 PM Go green, Jean! ~ Pickled Pepper

Caren Krutsinger February 18, 2020 at 11:24 AM I love pickled anything except maybe not pickled pig's feet. Gershon Wolf February 18, 2020 at 5:20 PM OK An order of pickled frog legs coming right up, Ma'am!!

Michelle Faulkner February 17, 2020 at 11:33 AM My homemade pickles are too fickle - I'd rather spend the extra nickel ;) Gershon Wolf February 17, 2020 at 3:01 PM You mean that pickles cost more than a nickel now?! LOL. Thanks, Michelle! :) gw

Ann Foster February 17, 2020 at 10:50 AM Hehe... I love pickles. This is great and so full of wonderful info.. I love that too... Pickles are great... Ann Gershon Wolf February 17, 2020 at 2:53 PM Personally, I'd steer clear of the pickled onions and the pickled asparagus. ~ Pickled Brain
