This is a pickle so I'll bear-and-grin it It's my very own pickle got me IN it It was always sweet with pickle power But all these wrappings make it sour Perhaps you'll get the urge to peel it For dressed like this I'll never feel it Despite your valiant efforts twerkin' I'll still be left with a gimpy Gherkin Another tumble upon your hassock Is a fruitless fruit not worth a Vlasic For a pickle in a poncho is under par And it's far better off in a canning jar Cuz ... It's not the pick of pickle, it's in how you aptly pack it But I can't pack my pickle ... in a damned latex jacket. ~ 7th Place ~ in the "Pickle" Poetry Contest, Nina Parmenter, Judge & Sponsor.

Oh, my - you went there, did the double entendre thing and did it most cleverly, impressively and it was fine entertainment via a poetic gutter, if you will. I was a construction site secretary for enough years to jump right in when bawdy and indecent humor is the topic. Congratulations on your placement with this artful and inventive delight. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

That's very kind of you CayCay - I thank you so much - I had a bit of bawdy fun with this one. It helps sometimes to "let loose" when things around here are getting me down. Blessings. <3
