Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose Poetry

I Want To Go To Jar Ducks Toffee

I want to go to Jar Ducks Toffee, he said.
I thought he was lisping and he meant the coffee place.
The one I despise, because their coffee twists my bowels up.
After drinking stuff from this place I am in pain.

I cannot go there, I tell him. 
I am sorry, I love you, but not that place.
He is surprised, because I am his grandma, and I love him.
And now there really is a Jar Ducks Toffee place here.

L Milton Hankins July 16, 2022 at 12:56 PM Oh my! I'm wondering if they decided on that name as a parody of that coffee place? I do love toffee. Caren Krutsinger July 16, 2022 at 7:25 PM Me too but I have little teeth left.
