Peter

Peter "Peter picked a peck of pickled peppers" Peter popped a pepper on his tongue. Peter found the answer to the seasons And will never have to strive for warm. Peter's teeth flew out to feed the fairy. Peter's mouth drew in to stop the shout Fiery havoc screeching down his larynx Exhale blowing off his regal snout. Peter's eyes grew big to show his horror Fear of gastric groanings to ensue. Pickled peppers begat horrid moanings, Red face and those lovely cheeks of blue! :-) by Mari Sloan copyright September 2010

Nah! Just a misunderstanding. And there was an explanation. :-P This was originally written to accompany a photo of a large, orange African mask on the other site I'm a part of. Even without the mask, there are lots of Westerners who can identify with this sort of flaming mouth syndrome.

Lol @ Keely. For a moment, I would have imagined that somehow Katherine hacked your account to write the comment of 11/18/2010 7:02:00 PM. Aunt Mari, funny poem =) Rather brings to mind my first experience with cognac when I was about 5 years old =p =p =p

I didn't understand this one at first. She meant a literal pepper. oops. It's not about death and destruction after all. I take back my previous comments.

There is a God, and Jesus reigns. Why write such a horrid thing unless you love Satan himself?
