Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Mom Jello Rules

Green Jello with cottage cheese
Days of my youth
Unwritten law it has to be green
Or you cannot add the cottage cheese
Mom’s rule

Red Jello with bananas
Days of my youth
Unwritten law it has to be red
Or you cannot add the banana circles
Mom’s rule

Orange Jello with shredded carrots
Days of my youth
Unwritten law it has to be orange
Or you cannot add the shredded carrots
Mom’s rule

Panagiota Romios February 11, 2020 at 10:56 AM Thanks for sharing the days of your youth via Jello and colors. Very clever. Simply written and a FAV. Panagiota Caren Krutsinger February 12, 2020 at 12:29 PM We always had jello for ever evening meal.

Darlene De Beaulieu February 10, 2020 at 2:24 PM Hello Caren, I do not think I could follow thes jello rules. I have jello just the way it is. Have a nice day my friend. Hugs. Caren Krutsinger February 12, 2020 at 12:29 PM My mother was an absolutist about it.

Michelle Faulkner February 10, 2020 at 1:10 PM I love green jello with segments of mandarin oranges, something about the color contrast - I think I will try red jello with banana (any particular flavor? I'm leaning strawberry) Caren Krutsinger February 10, 2020 at 2:09 PM It was either cherry or strawberry. Both worked but no other color of jello with banana rings.
