Gerber With a Kick

Pumping Vitamin A, into my blood,
and potassium. Pretty pumpkin
mixed with berries, yogurt and silk.
Sipping the Autumn cocktail preposterously.
Potential for vigor, chilling, and best day.
Orange concoction of maturity,
or it could be called Gerber with a kick.
My baby sister would be appalled 
as she often is at my fruitiness.
She almost lost her grip, when instead
of chips and dip, I craved tropical fruit,
when i was sick. Jack O is a flame -
just dessert. Orange pancakes in my future,
unless my sister locks me up.

Bill Baker Date: 9/29/2022 5:10:00 PM You would hit it off with my wife Sara, Kim. Your poem will have her on a tare. :-) I like the tropical fruit part best ... but I would add whipped cream. :-) Have a blessed day my friend.

Victor Buhagiar Date: 9/29/2022 9:15:00 AM You remind me of the days many years ago when I was in Brazil and for breakfast we had a choice. English breakfast or tropical fruit. I chose the latter.
