-Fickle Pickle

This tale is about Pickle Onion Percy

Who is besotted with a little cocktail pickle called Tracy Tickle

Many hours are spent together chatting and laughing 

On a warm soft fresh slice of rye pumpernickel 


Now, Percy is  known for being somewhat fickle

He is poor and only possesses a nickel

He is the target of Asparagus and Gherkin… who take the mickle

Who harass and bully him …. As tears down Percys face do trickle


Truth is , Gherkin and  Asparagus also fancy the sweet Tracy Tickle

Though she thinks they are bullies and so very mean

Both tall ,weird and lumpy looking 

And horrible shades  of green

 
Tracy Tickle only has eyes for Percy Pickle

Asparagus and Gherkin actually make her feel quite sickle

Percy is sweet, funny and kind

Tracy desperately wants to become Mrs Pickle!

Haha, funny! I'm torn between wanting Tracy Tickle to become Mrs. Pickle, and eating everyone in the story.

Ha!! Ha!! Personification of a pickle. Great idea. My husband loves dill pickles and gets that awful garlic scent on his hands then everything he touches smells just like garlic. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Your imaginative writing is simply great. Percy's determination to persevere in the face of persecution is impressive, given his sad position. And the emotional component was really engaging.

You write amazing fantasy. Poor Percy, it's heroic that he had strength to hang on through the bullying. I enjoyed the romance. Ha ha.
