In a Pickle Am I

In a pickle am I. All is green. It's like some kind of plant quarantine! Yes, I feel like I’m hidden from view and without a clue what I should do! What a pickle I’m IN. It’s severe. How the heck did I ever get here? It’s not comfy to be in this pickle. And now am I feeling a prickle? I much would prefer to be tickled than vinegar-smothered – so PICKLED. Like a gherkin, it’s not even sweet and a pickle I never would eat! This is nasty – like some sour pill. Oh, it’s bad. It’s a really BIG dill!

I think your pickle poem is precious and fun - truly a good time read. I got lucky but then I wrote THAT from my MEMORY (see Guy). (Also, Nina's blog for more info). You done good, my friend, and I'm so happy to have carved out some time to read FINALLY. Love, CayCay

you are right. I despise them. So to actually be inside one would be horrible. What a weird expression it is to be in a pickle. No wonder it means something is bad!

This should pickle its way to the top of the jar. Good luck. Tom
