Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Black Powder Recipe

A dandy simple homemade mixture
Made in my grandma’s kitchen sink.
Potassium nitrate, a staple fixture
Oh, you and yours use charcoal? Wink! Wink!
Yes, it is legal on my own property.
Come on out, and watch me blow up a tree.

M. L. Kiser November 7, 2018 at 5:55 PM It's amazing how much the old remedies work either almost as well or better than those expensive pharmaceuticals and store bought vitamins. You may want to be careful with the explosives though; you don't want a tree trying to blow you up; I understand that some trees have tempers. You cracked me up with this one. Caren Krutsinger November 7, 2018 at 8:17 PM Thank you M.L. There were so many ideas formulating when I saw the name of the contest, but this was the prominent one.

Rhona Mcferran November 7, 2018 at 2:11 PM Love the "Oh, you and yours use charcoal? Wink! Wink!"! hahaha ;D Caren Krutsinger November 7, 2018 at 3:05 PM Had to rhyme with sink, right?

Maurice Rigoler November 7, 2018 at 11:32 AM Sounds dangerous, Caren, and even foolhardy? How many casualties? I suspect making one's own home-made black powder could have happen in the South? Many thanks for reading my work. Best to you always. / M Caren Krutsinger November 7, 2018 at 12:03 PM I personally know a man who blew himself up. Sky high.
