Robert Pettit Poet Didactic

Pineapple Gelatin Mold

 
Any result will be an unsuccessful grapple.
Nobody can make a gelatin mold with fresh pineapple.
If there are any attempts, you are in for a bad time.
This is because the fruit has a proteolytic enzyme.
If this were a game, you would be drawing the wrong card.
Fresh pineapple will never allow the gelatin to get hard.
However, success can be conveniently in hand.
You must use the fruit from the store that is canned.
Yes, this is a fact requiring realization.
The enzyme is denatured by heat sterilization.

Ilene Bauer February 22, 2012 at 3:45 PM i don't know if you intended this to be funny, but it made me laugh. i'm sure it's true, but it's something i never thought about and loved reading about it in rhyme.

Andrea Dietrich February 21, 2012 at 8:11 PM so this is didactic. I was thinking it was preaching. but I like this way better!!! Robert Pettit February 21, 2012 at 8:14 PM Didactic is any form of instruction. I does not necessarily have to be in the form of preaching.
