Mr Pickle's Party
It was a party, but so much more.
Each participant came directly from
their origins; not from the community
store. There was no alcohol and all the
beverages were Fruit and Vegetable based.
None but healthy fruits and veggies were
allowed to enter the main door. This affair
was to be something special and different;
a pool of greenery fresh from God's brown
earth; colors of orange and yellow were also
among the colors present. One would have thought
to have arrived at the United Nations of Fruits
and Vegetables. Everyone, invitees as well as
passers-by would stop and stare with puzzled eyes
at such a dare. It was a Pickle Party hosted by the
best Pickles ever grown or seen. Mr. Pickle himself, wanted to
share with 'his world' the need to develop a plan to change
mankind's attitude about food. Tomatoes, the reddest
kind, was placed on center stage. The best-looking tomatoes
was the lead singer, surrounded by Peppers red, orange, and
green. Her theme song was, "Pick your Pickle and Pull your Peach".
And embraced in a sea of green were all kinds of Greens, an abundance
of Avocadoes, Cabbages, Lettuce, Celeries, Water Melons, green and red Apples, Peaches, yellow Bananas, and Nectarines. There were even a bunch
of nuts there, the brown variety like Almons, Pecans, and Walnuts. I'm not the partying kind, but I really wanted to be a part of this Pickle Party. I knew that my chances of getting in were remote, but I made the attempt anyway. I knew that lots of Pickles would be present, but I never dreamed that Mr. Pickle himself would be at the door. Mr. Pickle was greeting every fruit, nut, and vegetable with a smile as they entered. It was very clear that I was neither nut, fruit, nor vegetable, but Mr. Pickle gave me the biggest smile and said, "Thanks for coming; enjoy the party".
