Im Never Blue With Blueberries

Oh how I love blueberries! Those tiny round baubles of blue, energize my very being. Soft, sweet pebble blues, floating in my yogurt make my tongue dance and palate sing; of all fruits, they are my favorite. Blueberries raw or baked in a pie; blueberry cobbler, muffins or juice; it matters not the form I enjoy; blueberries keep me from being blue. Except for when, my cat, swallowed a blueberry muffin wrapper and got her stomach pumped; but that was an accident you see; she loves blueberries, like me. If I were reincarnated as fruit, I’d want to be a blueberry; to be eaten and highly cherished by, a blueberry devotee like me.

Warning: Unless the blueberries are wild, not the grown commercial kind, I'd avoid them: they are covered in pesticides and who knows what else! /M

Yeah, I usually wash mine off with some veggie and fruit wash or buy organic. Thanks.

So nice and light and cheery... and YUMMY! What blue SHOULD be, as opposed to all those depressing blues songs. :) gw

Thanks Gershon. I don't know how blue got such a bad reputation but, I aim to change that!

I am thinking to myself, why do I EVER read your poems when I am not yet HUNGRY? Salivating again, and I did not know I liked blueberries that much....

It was a heck of a vet bill, having her stomach pumped and she was so disoriented the next day that she staggered everywhere; we weren't sure if it would digest or not but, they got the whole thing out; it wasn't even begun digesting. She still want's blueberry flavored everything but, we've settled on her licking out the yogurt cups. thanks.
