Mari Sloan Poet I do not know?

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!

Mari Sloan November 24, 2010 at 5:48 AM 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.

Jay J. Jurado November 23, 2010 at 11:02 PM 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

Keely Borie November 19, 2010 at 7:48 AM 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.

Keely Borie November 18, 2010 at 7:02 PM There is a God, and Jesus reigns. Why write such a horrid thing unless you love Satan himself?

Keely Borie November 18, 2010 at 7:02 PM Grand mommy would have hated this. no matter how ingenious.
