In a Pickle

All alone and wanting a bite to eat, she made herself a special treat, but needed the finishing touch, and that was to add a pickle... all the while thinking, they can be very fickle... Grabbing a new jar, trying to screw the lid off, she twisted and she let out a shout; "This is like trying to break into Fort Knox!" And also wishing that she had a nickle for every time she tried to pry open a jar of pickles! Feeling frustrated and dismayed, when she turned to put away the jar of pickles that day, she was stunned to find a large jar of nickles.. with a note on it saying: Now if you can open this jar, here are some nickles to buy you one of those rubber grip gizmos! P.S. And some more pickles!

Lovely little romper. Enjoyed reading it. As for the jammed jar. Simply upturn it, bang it down hard but not too hard on a hard surface, upright it and voila! God Bless. D.

I know…like I said in the poem it is almost like trying to break into Fort Knox!:) I've even tried running the jar under hot water and to no avail at times!!:(
