Notes About The Poem

Image result for image of bowl of jelly

Image result for image of santa's belly like bowl of jelly Image result for image of jar of jelly

Jelly

Juice of succulent fruit

Jellied and put into

Jars is not the same as

Jam, and that’s because it’s

Jiggly like the way that 

Jolly Saint Nick shakes his

Jelly belly laughing!

Jam or conserve? And a winner too! :)Well done. Now about immortality. My own problem with it is that folk will live long enough to see all the stuff they have achieved, break again. That whole cyclic phenomenon where all the old ideas eventually come back into vogue, and us old folk remember their faults. I believe death is an exit from the cycle, our only way to lasting peace.

How cute Andrea, I prefer preserves. Just fruit, water and sugar.

Juice and sugar and God knows what. :) You're guaranteed a jiggly butt. So spoon it up and spread it thick. I've eaten plenty and never got sick.

Joint was smoking when I jumped into this jealous fallacy that jubilantly disappeared after having jumped into much disparity while in court being a jester at large whose job was to make sure everyone was judged guilty.
