Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

End-Of-Term Party

At the final quilting class
We always bring in food.
This is what today’s assorted
Choices did include:

Purple grapes (2 different types)
And fat green grapes as well,
Lots of cheese and berries,
Chocolate filled with caramel;

Powdered donuts, cookies, too
(The oatmeal raisin kind),
Chocolate covered pretzels
And some chips no one declined.

We all indulged a little bit;
The platter, though, stayed full
For women watch their waistlines
And resist that snack-time pull.

Still, a party with no goodies
Wouldn’t really qualify
So our little feast was perfect
For an end-of-term goodbye.

Hannah Borke November 7, 2019 at 4:45 PM Is the benefit no-pressure socialization? So that one can be part of the crowd just by contributing seams, even when not conversing?

Chris Green November 7, 2019 at 4:38 PM You sewed this one up nicely Ilene. Sounds like a fun party to me. I enjoy all of your poetry, keep writing and I'll keep smiling
