Food Pyramid, Oklahoma

In the wee hour before customers came to call,
Groceries came to life and had a Cinderella ball.
"Je'taime," purred the french toast to the frozen peas,
"Oh quit your fast talk. I'm southern, If you please."

The peanut butter tried his luck. He felt rather 'hunky'.
He winked at the jelly. She gasped.  "You sir, are chunky!"
Lemons and limes provided fragrance.  Love was found.
Mr Goodbar married Mrs. Butterworth, their children sold by the pound.

What a riot! Just the idea of French toast flirting made me laugh, but when Mr. Goodbar married Mrs. Butterworth (only to have their children sold by the pound) I laughed so hard it hurt. What a great and unique entry for the contest, Shirley. Wishing you success, Carolyn
