Jello

Jello is a mellow way of filling up a tub
A smashing way of chilling up an ordinary scrub
The jello is a fellow’s way of doing something new
A rock and roll adventure in a musical revue

I chose to pose in jello when I thought that it was keen
To render my devotion to the swinging singles scene
I played around and partied in my polyester clothes
But gentlemen in jello cannot kneel to propose

I trembled in my jello with a universal wish
For peace and understanding in a human petri dish
I thought about the acrobats who never made the flip
Of bouncing on my jello with a bowl of dairy whip

The quality of jello with a cello for a choice
Will make a happy fellow when you bellow with your voice
The jello is a fellow’s way of making something stick
A merry new adventure with a momentary flick

I love to squish my jello with a hello every day
Nothing could be mellow in a more peculiar way
Remember, kindly fellow, when your jello mix is blue
That ladies love to bellow in a jello fix for two.

Thank you, Karen. Your comment could be catching for a title that is matching something wonderful and whimsical and utterly fantastical, a jello journey with a feast, a mellow yellow Easter beast, an epic poem to match the best, of anything that you request. Thanks again, Karen.

Thank you, Natasha, for reading my poem. I hope you had a most amusing time. I look forward to your next contest, your next context, if not complex, will gratify the swift reply of rhyme. Thanks again, Bryan
