Brownie Time

BROWNIE TIME

So    it’s brownie time
They are so easy to make
50 strokes or so
Of this heavenly chocolate
No kids    so I’ll eat them all

Looking it over
I can do better than that
Such a weak poem
Baking brownies is no art
Poetry should say something

Now    take Longfellow
Hiawatha eats brownies?
Yes!    Magic brownies
Amazing what one can write
On a magic brownie high

Anne Rutherford June 11, 2011 at 4:39 PM Dave , 70'ds brownies are what they call them today . good poem. Anne Daver Austin June 12, 2011 at 9:05 AM Glad to know it, Anne. I will stay away from 70'ds. I'm goofy enough. Love, daver

Carolyn Devonshire June 10, 2011 at 3:04 PM :) Big smiles reading this poem, Daver. I like the brownie batter better than the brownies themselves. However, some people put special "substances" in brownies that make them magical. Now where is Hiawatha when you need him? Delightful poem, dear. Love, Carolyn
