Notes About The Poem

(Entry for the Quirky OCD Poetry Contest, sponsor: Suzette Richards, submitted December 29, 2025)

Picky Eater

My sister's so picky 'bout what she'll eat.
Her food quirks are annoying and offbeat.
At breakfast and lunch
or Saturday brunch
we all roll our eyes and admit defeat!

This made me smile. Quirk and offbeat such a great words to describe gentle annoyance.

Thanks, Andrea. So sorry to learn that you still have to deal with picky eaters! I'm sure you have a few stories to tell. Take care.
