Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Brownie Brownie Brownie Brownie

Brownie?
Sure!
Frosting?
What?

I mean the kind you eat.
I thought you meant the other brownie.
The baby girl scout?

No.
Which one?
The elf-like garden helper gnome-like creature. I could use a brownie to help me collect walnuts.

Brownie.
A seven-letter word.
Common.
Also the name of one of my all-time favoritest dogs.

Four connotations for me, maybe five or six for others.
All connotations to me for the word ‘brownie’ are wonderful.
Every one of them makes me smile.
How many other words do this? Not many.
Brownie. Brownie. Brownie. Brownie. 
I cannot stop!

M. L. Kiser November 6, 2018 at 10:50 AM I was a brownie scout; when my Mom first proposed the idea to me; briefly, the garden brownie popped into my head. Well, I was small and short enough to be one...but, I wasn't much on gardening at that age. Luv it. Caren Krutsinger November 6, 2018 at 11:30 AM When I hear "brownie" I immediately think of all 4. Weird.

Michelle Faulkner November 2, 2018 at 3:36 PM I was in Brownies as a little girl, never had a pet named Brownie, but the baked good is absolutely my favorite (with nuts of course!) Caren Krutsinger November 2, 2018 at 11:24 PM Man, I do want a brownie now. I had pushed off from the idea, but it is churning in my mind at 11:24 p.m. Luckily, stores are open.

Rhona Mcferran November 2, 2018 at 10:31 AM This word only had one meaning in my mind... & now I WANT CHOCOLATE! ;D Adorable poem, though! Caren Krutsinger November 2, 2018 at 10:56 AM I know you do!
