Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Poem inspired by Mike Gentile's Poem of the day titled -

''Twas a Pickle that Saved the Queen  - 1st February 2026

The Pickle Packer

There once was a pickle packer
who ate more pickles than he’d pack
The boss of the packers caught him
and instantly gave him the sack.

It didn't stop the packer eating
pickles all day up to evening
He got fright of his life one night
when he shrivelled from out of sight.
